[sticks a pencil into the table, point first; slams Gambol's henchman's head down upon the pencil, penetrating his eye socket; Gambol rises in anger]
The Chechen Sit. I want to hear proposition.
[Gambol sits down]
The Joker Let's wind the clocks back a year. These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? Did your – did your balls drop off? Hmm? You see, a guy like me—
Gambol A freak!

The Joker A guy like me— Look, listen. I know why you choose to have your little group therapy sessions in broad daylight. I know why you're afraid to go out at night: the Batman. See, Batman has shown Gotham your true colors, unfortunately. Dent? He's just the beginning. And as for, uh, the television's so-called "plan": Batman has no jurisdiction. He'll find him, and make him squeal! I know the squealers when I see them, and...

The Joker It's simple. We, uh, kill the Batman.

The Joker I'm not. No, I'm not! If we don't deal with this now, soon little, uh, Gambol here won't be able to get a nickel for his grandma.
Gambol Enough from the clown!
[slams the table]
The Joker Ah-ta-ta-ta. Let's not blow this out of proportion.
[revealing hand grenades under his jacket]
Gambol You think you can steal from us and just walk away?
The Joker Yeah.
Gambol I'm putting the word out. Five hundred grand for this clown dead. A million alive, so I can teach him some manners first.

Old Tricks and Fond Memories
Black Dynamite Freeze, Turkeys!
O'Leary I see you haven't lost your tough, B.D.
Black Dynamite O'Leary? (uncocks handgun)
O'Leary The old pie in the windowsill trick. I can't believe I fell for that. That was the same trick you used in Nam to save my ass. B.D. took our fatigues and put them on two dead gooks. I remember we circled back and turned the tables.
Black Dynamite I guess you forgot about the time you and Bravo company left my black ass for dead, huh? But I remember. I remember everything. I remember Vietnam like it was yesterday. I remember that village in Tainan that we cut down. It was a massacre. All the dead Chinamen we left in our tracks. I remember the faces, the children. This one child I'll never forget. Poor little bastard was still alive. His little Chinese legs were blown clean off! Still see his little shins & feet hanging from the ceiling fan across the hut. He was charred from his head down to his little Chinese knees. He tried to get up, but he fell over when what was left of his right leg broke off. As he laid there, flat on his face, he looked up at me. His little Chinese eyes burned right into my stomach, deep into my soul. He said something to me in Chinese like, Boo coo sow!', sounded like some cartoon shit. But I understood it to be a question that he was asking me. And I don't have to know how to speak Chinese to know what that question was. Why, Black Dynamite? Why?
O'Leary We're a long way from Nam. Look at this place. It must have an eight-track player in every room. What's going on today is a smack problem of epic proportion. Corruption is running rampant and we don't know who to trust. We need you, Black Dynamite, now more than ever.
Black Dynamite I know I was the best CIA agent that the CIA ever had, but I thought I told you honkies from the CIA that Black Dynamite was out of the game.
O'Leary You're never out of the game.
Black Dynamite I've known you for a long time. And there's something you're not telling me.
O'Leary Okay. We heard about your brother's death. The last thing we need is you running through the streets creating a river of blood.
Black Dynamite Tell me who did it and I'll just leave a puddle.
O'Leary We don't know who killed Jimmy. But I do know this. You step out of line, friendship or not, and I'm gonna take you down. Because in case you forgot, when you left the agency, you relinquished your license to kill.
Black Dynamite Well, you do what you have to. Just don't get in my way.
Disruption of Kung Fu Training
Black Dynamite Who the hell’s interrupting my Kung Fu?!
Confronting Drug Crisis in the Community
Black Dynamite All right. What's wrong, Honey Bee? I've known you too long. Now, if something's bothering you, why don't you lay it on me?
Honey Bee Black Dynamite, I got to go to the hospital. It's my little nephew Bucky. He OD'd.
Black Dynamite Where is Bucky and what has he had?
Honey Bee It's that new drug on the street. All the kids are falling prey to it. What we gonna do, Black Dynamite?
Black Dynamite I know what I'm gonna do. (slaps his desk and stands up) I'm gonna fight. The only way I know how. Ever since I was a boy, all I knew was how to fight. Fight, fight, fight. And when I got tired, I would fight some more. And now that the Man has got our backs to the wall, I ain't gonna let him hurt the kids. I'm gonna take him down. I'm gonna take them all down.
