[Police sirens blare, ambient street noise]
[Crowd talking]
HROLD: Thank you. Hi. I'd like to go to the Adelphi Hotel.
This is my cab.
HAROLD: I was here first!
Oh, od.
Taxi! Taxi!
[Cars honking]
HAROLD: Taxi!
HAROLD: Let's go across. Come on.
HAROLD: We'll get one down the road. Hurry.
WOMAN: For God's sake, Harold, can we please get a taxi?
HAROLD: I'm trying to get a.... Taxi!
JlMMY: We're going the wrong way!
Jimmy, put that away. We look like tourists.
HAROLD: Let's cut over to Seventh.
JlMMY: Seventh is that way. HAROLD: I know where we are!
[Footsteps]
PANHANDLER: Hey, give me a dollar.
How about it? One dollar.
Are you deaf? You don't speak English?
HAROLD: Come on! Up here.
[Harold groans]
GOON: Hey, lady...
...do the kid a favor. Don't scream.
[Woman screams]
[Dramatic instrumental music]
Hey, all right!
American Express card.
GOON ON LEFT: "Don't leave home without it."
[Goons chuckle]
Get out of here.
I don't like it up here.
Are you scared of heights?
I don't know. After what happened to Johnny Gobs--
Look, Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof. No big loss.
That ain't what I heard at all.
I heard that the Bat got him.
The Bat? Give me a break, will you?
GOON: Five stories. Straight down. There wasn't no blood in the body.
No shit. It was all over the pavement.
-I'm getting out of here. -Shut up. Listen to me.
There ain't no Bat.
You shouldn't have turned the gun on that kid.
You want your cut of this money or not? Now shut up! Shut up!
[Footsteps]
[Goon groans]
GOON: Don't kill me!
Don't kill me!
GOON: Don't kill me! Don't kill me!
BATMAN: I won't kill you. I want you to do me a favor.
Tell all your friends about me.
What are you?
I'm Batman.
[Man cries and groans]
[Dramatic instrumental beat]
[Gasps]
[Police sirens blaring in the distance]
MAYOR: Across this nation...
...the words "Gotham City" are synonymous with crime.
Our streets are overrun, our public officials are helpless.
As mayor, I promise to root out the source of this corruption...
...Boss Carl Grissom.
Now, our new District Attorney, Harvey Dent...
...will carry out that promise.
[Cheering and applause]
Thank you, Mayor Borg. Thank you.
People of Gotham City...
...I'm a man of few words.
But those words will count, and so will my actions.
HARVEY: Commissioner Gordon informs me...
...that he has targeted those businesses...
...suspected of fronting for the syndicate in this city.
Before this week is out...
...we are going to knock down their doors...
...and shed the light of the law on that nest of vipers.
[Cheering and applause]
HARVEY: Together, we can make this city safe for decent people.
[Cheering]
Decent people shouldn't live here.
They'd be happier someplace else.
Pretty tough talk about Carl.
Forget about it.
If this clown could touch Grissom, I'd have handed him his lungs by now.
If Grissom knew about us...
...he might hand you something.
Don't flatter yourself, angel.
He's a tired old man. He can't run this city without me.
And besides...
...he doesn't know.
You don't worry about anything, do you, Jack?
You look fine.
I didn't ask.
MAN: Yeah. Hanging on.
[Sirens blaring]
[Man groaning and crying]
ECKHARDT: Let me guess.
Giant, menacing, supernatural form. Kind of like a bat.
COP: That's it. What are they seeing up there?
They're drinking Drano.
COP: It's weird.
KNOX: Thanks for the tip.
Christ. Knox.
KNOX: Lieutenant, I hear we had another Bat attack.
That's eight sightings in a month. I hear the Commissioner's opened a file.
Sorry, Knox. These two slipped on a banana peel.
GOON: I'm telling you, a giant bat!
Don't write about this. It will ruin your already useless reputation.
Lieutenant, every punk in this town is scared.
They say he can't be killed.
They say he drinks blood.
I say you're full of shit, Knox.
You can quote me on that.
KNOX: Is there a six-foot bat in Gotham City?
Is he on the police payroll?
What's he pulling down, after taxes?
[Knox chuckles]
[Sirens blaring in the distance]
[Drumbeat]
JACK: Brought you a little snack, Eckhardt.
ECKHARDT: Why don't you broadcast it? JACK: Shut up and listen.
Harvey Dent has been sniffing around one of our front companies.
ECKHARDT: That's my territory. If there's a problem, I deal with it.
Your problems are our problems.
I answer to Grissom, not to psychos.
You ought to think about the future.
You mean when you run the show? You got no future, Jack.
ECKHARDT: You're an A-1 nut-boy, and Grissom knows it.
[Gun trigger clicks]
Better be sure.
See?
You can make a good decision when you try.
[Jack chuckles]
Where've you been spending your nights?
[Ambient traffic sounds]
MAYOR: I don't care if this festival is in debt, I want a parade.
I want hot dogs, balloons, everything.
We'll celebrate this 200th anniversary proudly and publicly.
HARVEY: We may celebrate in bankruptcy court.
It's $250,000 in debt and we haven't seen one balloon.
MAYOR: You fill the square with people, and businesses will come back.
A lot of people may stay away. They're scared.
They won't be scared when you get Grissom in the courthouse.
MAYOR: I promised that, remember?
[Ambient newsroom sounds]
COLLEAGUE 1 : Welcome, Count Dracula.
Had any sightings of Big Foot lately?
COLLEAGUE 2: They buried your story on Batman.
COLLEAGUE 1: They bury garbage.
KNOX: This is Pulitzer Prize stuff.
I got something for you.
[All laugh]
KNOX: Very funny. You should have put more gore under the fangs.
What a dick.
Hello, legs.
VlCKl: I'm reading your stuff.
KNOX: Well, I'm reading yours.
Hi, I'm Vicki Vale.
Yeah, photographer. Vogue, Cosmo. Yeah.
KNOX: If you want me to pose nude, you'll need a long lens.
Actually, I was in the Corto Maltese.
KNOX: You could get hurt doing this stuff.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see the wildlife in Gotham City.
KNOX: Wildlife? VlCKl: Mm hmm.
Like what?
Like...bats.
-Who sent you? -Nobody, really.
VlCKl: I just loved your story, and...
...l like bats.
Yeah?
My pictures, your words. Pulitzer Prize material. Just think.
Okay, you're a visionary, and also the only one who believes me.
I need something tangible.
Gordon's got a file. I can't even get him on the phone.
He'll be at Bruce Wayne's benefit, right?
Yeah. I don't seem to be on the guest list. No.
Yes, yes. Vale, will you marry me?
VlCKl: No. KNOX: Buy me lunch?
VlCKl: Maybe. KNOX: I eat light.
GRlSSOM: Say this...
...son of a bitch...
...makes a connection with us and with Axis Chemicals.
What kind of damage are we looking at?
ACCOUNTANT: If he ties us with Axis Chemicals, we're dead and buried.
We should move immediately.
I say we break into the place...
...trash the office...
...and make off with the records and say it was industrial espionage.
Jack....
Smart thinking. That's the way to go. In fact...
...I'd like you to handle this operation personally.
Me?
GRlSSOM: Hello, sweetheart.
Would you mind waiting in the next room?
That's all, gentlemen. Thank you. That's all.
Carl....
Can somebody else do this?
JACK: The fumes in that place....
Jack....
It's an important job. I need...
...someone I can trust.
You...are my number one guy.
Now...
...don't forget...
...your lucky deck.
My friend...
...your luck is about to change.
PHONE: Police Department.
Get me Lieutenant Eckhardt.
[Clicking of ball spinning on roulette machine]
[Ambient casino sounds]
Can I help you, sir?
Oh, thanks. Thank you very much. That's very nice of you.
Here you go.
-Good evening. -A little crowded.
VlCKl: Excuse me. Excuse me.
Could you tell me who is Bruce Wayne?
I'm not sure.
Thanks anyway.
GORDON: Eight. I can make that eight.
I can make that eight.
KNOX: Commissioner! Mrs. Gordon, you look lovely.
Is it true the Commissioner has a file on the Batman?
There is no Bat. If there were, we would find and arrest him.
Be straight with me, Commissioner.
How're you making out?
Mr. Dent, I love that tie.
We were discussing winged vigilantes. What's your stand?
We have enough problems in this city...
...without worrying about ghosts.
Pardon me, but that's not a denial.
Excuse me, I'll be back.
Won't anybody go on record?
-Your Honor, great suit. -No comment.
GORDON: Robert, what's up?
Anonymous tip. Napier's cleaning out Axis Chemicals.
Why wasn't I told? Who's in charge?
-Eckhardt. -Oh, my God!
Come on, let's go.
KNOX: Mr. Gordon?
[Eerie sounds]
Wait, wait. Living room, dining room, arsenal.
Look at this stuff.
Who is this guy?
He gives to humanitarian causes, and then collects all this stuff.
KNOX: He probably does it to get chicks. They like his charity balls.
Don't leave out his very large bankroll.
KNOX: The more they've got, the less they're worth.
This guy must be the most worthless guy in America.
Check this out. He must have been the King of the Wicker People.
[Knox and Vicki chuckle]
Where'd this come from?
VlCKl: I have no idea.
It's Japanese.
How do you know?
I bought it in Japan.
KNOX: Who are you? BRUCE: Sorry. Bruce Wayne.
Alexander Knox.
I read your work. I like it a lot.
Thanks. Can I have a grant?
Vicki Vale.
Hi. Bruce Wayne.
Are you sure?
Yeah. I've seen your pictures from Corto Maltese, haven't l?
You've got a wonderful eye.
Some people think she has two.
This is an amazing house. I'd like to shoot it sometime.
Mr. Wayne, we need more champagne. Is that all right?
Sure. Go ahead.
BRUCE: How many cases? Six? Six?
Six is good.
BRUCE: Six. Thanks.
Will you be in Gotham for a while?
I'd love to. I'm intrigued by Alex's "giant bat" stories.
Oh, right. The bat.... Batman.
A bit light after the war in Corto Maltese, no?
What do you do for a living?
Commissioner Gordon was compelled to leave.
Very unexpectedly, sir.
Will you two excuse me?
I think perhaps this way, sir.
They need wine in the front room, and a Mrs. Daley needs a copy of the menu.
And give Knox a grant.
Nice talking with you, Wayne.
The rich....
Know why they're so odd? They can afford to be.
Look at this mirror.
KNOX: Maybe it should be Bruce Vain.
[Knox chuckles]
[Sound of video tape rewinding]
GORDON: What's up? ROBERT: Anonymous tip.
ROBERT: Napier's cleaning out Axis Chemicals.
GORDON: if we could get him, we'd have Grissom.
GORDON: Why wasn't i told? Who's in charge?
ROBERT: Eckhardt. GORDON: Oh, my God!
GORDON: Come on, let's go.
[Electronic beeps]
ECKHARDT: Take a good look. This is the guy.
Get a good look.
Shoot to kill. You know what I mean?
Let's move out.
[Suspenseful music]
[Drawer slams]
[Papers ruffling, folders being thrown, banging, clanking]
We've been ratted out, boys.
Watch it.
Freeze!
[Hissing of fumes escaping]
ECKHARDT: You take the right. Move it.
GORDON: What the hell's going on?
ECKHARDT: What are you trying to do?
I'm in charge, not Carl Grissom.
This is Commissioner Gordon. i want him taken alive.
i repeat. Any man who opens fire on Jack Napier will answer to me.
[Explosions]
[Gunshots, hissing of fumes escaping]
[Jack cackles]
[Groaning]
GOON: Let me down!
Let me down!
Oh, my God!
[Banging, hissing of fumes and water escaping]
[Gunshots]
[Man groans]
Get up on the catwalk, on that side.
You take that side. Be very careful.
Jesus!
BOB: Let him go...or I'll do Gordon.
Nice outfit.
Come on, Jack, let's go!
BOB: Come on!
Eckhardt!
Think about the future.
[Gunshot]
[Jack screams]
[Jack groaning]
[Jack screaming]
GORDON: Goddamn it, we had him!
GORDON: Hold it right there!
[Glass shatters, hissing]
[Swoosh of batgun]
COP: Who is this guy? GORDON: I don't know.
Until we find out, keep a lid on it.
[Water bubbling]
KNOX: If there's no Bat, then who dropped Napier into the acid?
Suicide? I want to get this on tape.
Hello?
He hung up. What have you got?
Here's the inner city.
VlCKl: Here's the sightings so far.
Maybe Batman has some sort of flight pattern.
This is very good. Tonight we'll go to dinner, then we'll walk the trail.
No can do. I got a date. Bruce Wayne.
Wayne! Wayne! Oh, no!
The guy's a stiff. You could do much better.
Thanks for being so concerned. Bye.
[Phone ringing]
[Dog barking in the distance]
[Metallic clanking of gate closing]
[Voice echoes] How's the soup?
[Voice echoes] Excuse me?
BRUCE: The soup. How is it?
VlCKl: It's great.
[Voice echoes] Could you pass the salt?
Sure.
[Footsteps echo]
[Bruce clears his throat]
BRUCE: Did you have trouble finding the house?
No....
VlCKl: It was no problem. BRUCE: Good.
Do you like eating in here?
Oh, yeah.
I don't think I've been in this room before.
[Vicki laughs]
You want to leave?
Yes.
ALFRED: There was young Master Bruce...
...leading his gray pony with me on its back...
...like a sack of old potatoes, covered in mud and nursing a sprained ankle.
ALFRED: That was the first and last time I gave him a riding lesson.
I think I've embarrassed him for long enough.
ALFRED: I'm off to bed.
ALFRED: Please, leave everything. I'll tidy up in the morning.
ALFRED: Good night, miss. VlCKl: Good night, Alfred.
-Good night, sir. -Good night, Alfred.
VlCKl: He's really wonderful. He loves you a lot.
Alfred's great. I couldn't find my socks without him.
He reminds me of my grandfather.
Were you close to him?
I used to spend summers with him and my grandmother.
They had a house on the lake. Nothing like this, but...
...it was fun.
-That sounds nice. -Yeah.
What about your family?
Actually, Alfred is my family.
This house and all this stuff doesn't seem like you at all.
Some of it is very much me.
Some isn't.
That dining room is definitely not you.
The dining room isn't.
DOCTOR: Let's see how we did.
[Jack gasping]
Oh, my God!
JACK: Mirror.
Mirror!
[Jack groaning and sobbing]
You understand that the nerves were completely severed, Mr. Napier.
[Jack's sobbing turns into laughter]
You see what I have to work with here.
VlCKl: There are an awful lot of stairs in this place.
My feet are killing me.
[Vicki giggles]
I feel a little drunk. And you're not anything.
One drink and I'm flying.
Why are you afraid of flying?
That you, sugar bumps?
GRlSSOM: Who are you?
JACK: It's me.
"Sugar bumps."
You're alive! I heard you'd been--
JACK: Fried?
Is that what you heard?
You set me up over a woman.
A woman!
You must be insane.
JACK: Don't bother.
Your life won't be worth spit!
JACK: I've been dead once already.
It's very liberating...
...if you think of it as...therapy.
Jack, listen.
Maybe we can cut a deal.
Jack?
Jack is dead, my friend.
You can call me...
...Joker.
As you can see...
...I'm a lot happier.
[Joker cackles]
[Grissom screams]
[Repeated gunshots, circus music plays in background]
[Joker cackles]
JOKER: Oh, what a day.
[Vicki moans softly]
[Rythmic squeaking sound]
Gotham City.
It always brings a smile to my face.
JOKER: "Winged Freak...
"...Terrorizes...."
Wait'll they get a load of me.
Oooh....
[Joker cackles]
I've got an idea. How about lunch at my place? I'll show you some photos.
Sure. Okay.
Wait a minute. No, I can't. I can't make it.
VlCKl: Okay, we'll do it later in the day.
I can't make it then, either. I've got a very important meeting today.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I have to leave town for a few days.
-Okay, we'll do it when you get back. -All right.
VlCKl: I have to go. I'm late.
Bye.
-Nice to see you again, ma'am. -Nice to see you, too.
I'll talk to you guys when you get back.
Back, Miss Vale? We'll be here for quite a while.
VlCKl: Well, bye.
[Footsteps]
JOKER: Honey....
You'll never believe what happened to me today.
[Alicia moans]
[Joker chuckles]
JOKER: So, gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissom...resurfaces...
...i'm the acting president.
And i say, starting with this anniversary festival...
...we run this city into the ground.
Why don't we hear this from Grissom?
MAN: Yeah.
And what's with that stupid grin?
Life's been good to me.
[Joker chuckles]
What if we say "no"?
Well, Tony....
Nobody wants a war.
If we can't do business, we'll just shake hands and that'll be it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
[Hissing]
JOKER: I got a live one here.
There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight.
[Doors bang open]
[Joker cackles]
Antoine got a little hot under the collar.
You're crazy.
Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?
JOKER: Now get out of here! GOON: Let's go! Move it!
You think it over.
[Goons yelling orders, Joker continues to cackle]
Go to the Globe, follow that reporter Knox. Take your camera.
See what he knows about this Batman.
[Whispers] And, Bob...
...remember...you...
...are my number one...
...guy.
Yes, sir.
Your pals...
...they're not bad people.
Maybe we...
...ought to give them a few days to think it over.
No?
Grease them now?
Okay.
You are a vicious bastard, Rotelli.
I'm glad you're dead.
[Joker cackling]
I'm glad you're dead.
[Joker continues to cackle]
[Phone rings]
I need that.
KNOX: I'm losing confidence in you.
I thought we were a team.
Is this a personal issue for you?
I just want you to do your job.
I am doing my job.
And I'm protecting my partner.
There's nothing in these files. Who is this guy?
Who cares?
Forget Bruce Wayne. I'm onto Batman.
[Car engine hums]
[Dramatic instrumental music, background]
They'll be out any second. I can't wait to hear the explanation.
REPORTER: What is this affidavit you filed?
Grissom gave you his business?
Mr. Grissom asked me, as a personal favor...
...to take over all his businesses until he returns.
That's a big favor. You two must have been very close.
Did you do time together as children?
[Suspenseful music, background]
ECKHARDT: Our accountants are looking into it. The affidavit is legitimate.
I smell fresh ink. You can prove this?
Of course you can.
We have witnesses. Grissom's signature is legitimate.
JOKER: It is legitimate.
I saw it. I was there.
JOKER: I saw it all.
He reached up with his dead hand...
...and signed it in his own blood.
And he did it...with this pen.
Hello, Vinnie. It's your uncle Bingo.
Time to pay the check.
[Crowd screams]
The pen...
...is truly mightier than the sword.
[Machine guns fire]
[Crowd screams in panic]
[Car tires squeal]
BRUCE: Get down!
Won't this gang war dampen the city's 200th anniversary?
The festival opens. The police will stop these gangsters.
What about the theory that the Batman is a Mob enforcer?
i don't have any comment.
[Minor explosion]
JOKER: Batman.
Batman.
Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in...
...when a man dressed as a bat...
...gets all my press?
This town needs an enema!
[Party horn blows]
May I have a glass of...water?
I'm relieved that you're home.
ALFRED: Miss Vale telephoned. She was rather concerned.
I feel there's a certain weight that lifts when she is here.
Alfred...
...why don't you marry her?
That's not exactly what I had in mind, sir.
I can't go on with that right now.
If not now...
...when?
[Whispers] I don't know.
Jack Napier's still alive.
He's running Grissom's men. I need any information on him.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Alfred....
She is great, isn't she?
ALFRED: Yes.
KNOX: Knox. VlCKl: Hi.
Check something out for me.
Find out what's special about the alley at Pearl and Phillips.
KNOX: Pearl and Phillips? VlCKl: Yeah.
KNOX: You got it. VlCKl: Okay. Okay, bye.
Mr. Wayne.
[Whistling]
So much to do and so little time.
The photos.
Who's that loss?
BOB: Knox.
JOKER: Bad tie. No style.
Stop the press!
JOKER: Who is that? BOB: Vicki Vale.
The photographer working with Knox.
That girl has style.
Jesus marimba!
A lovely beast like that running around...
...could put steam in a man's strides.
She's dating some guy named Wayne.
She's about to trade up.
It's hard to stay inside the lines.
I'm about...
...to get a new girl, Bobby.
I'm of a mind to make some mooky.
Phone book.
Yes, sir.
JOKER: So much to do...
...and so little time.
[Truck honking]
JOKER: Have you shipped a million of those?
MAN: Yes, sir.
Ship them all! We're going to take them out a whole new door!
FLOOR MANAGER: Ten seconds to transmission.
Five...four...three...two...one.
TV DlRECTOR: Cue music.
Cue Becky.
Good evening. The fashion world was stunned today...
...by the sudden deaths of models Candy Walker and Amanda Keeler.
Cause of death has been attributed to a violent allergic reaction...
...although authorities have not ruled out the possibility of drug use.
Peter.
Plans continue for the city's 200th birthday...
...as Mayor Borg announced today, the unveiling--
This just in.
Three mysterious deaths at a beauty parlor--
[Becky giggles]
...were discovered today.
[Becky laughs hysterically]
What's going on?
This is hardly the....
Kill the camera.
This is Rene on the news floor. I need paramedics up here now!
JOKER: New and improved Joker products!
With a new secret ingredient.
Smylex!
What's that?
JOKER: Let's go over...
...to our blind taste-test.
Love that Joker.
Where's it coming from?
He doesn't look happy. He's been using brand X.
But with new Joker Brand...
...i get a grin again...
JOKER:...and again.
That luscious tan...
... those ruby lips...
...and hair color so natural, only your undertaker knows for sure.
[Joker laughs]
JOKER: You're saying:
"Where can i get these fine, new items?"
That's the gag. Chances are, you've bought them already!
Love that Joker.
JOKER: Remember...
...put on a happy face.
[Joker laughing]
The information you requested.
BRUCE: "Jack Napier, assault with a deadly weapon, age 15.
"Results of psychological profile...
"...violent mood swings, highly intelligent, emotionally unstable.
"Aptitudes include science, chemistry, and art."
Chemistry.
Let's go shopping.
Yes, sir.
...six new deaths, with no clues as to the Joker's deadly weapon.
And what is the pattern?
Foods, alcohol, or beauty and hygiene products?
Cologne, mouthwash, underarm deodorant?
Or worse yet, there may be no pattern.
The search goes on through Gotham's shopping nightmare.
MAYOR: We are having a festival, if I have to use a gun to get people there myself.
Do you hear the words coming from my mouth? The festival is on!
MAYOR: Find out what this madman is poisoning us with.
Do you read me?
We're working on it. I need all the help I can get.
[Answering machine beeps]
VlCKl: Hi, it's Vicki.
i'll be ten minutes late to the museum.
i'll see you when you get there.
A message from Miss Vale.
She'll be late meeting you at the museum.
Okay, thank you. Wait a minute, Alfred.
I'm not meeting her today.
Jack, where are you going?
Daddy's going to make some art, darling.
[Classical music plays softly, background]
VlCKl: Mr. Wayne's table?
He hasn't arrived yet.
We have a table waiting.
Miss Vale, this just arrived for you.
[Hissing]
[Crash]
[People panicking]
[Bang]
Gentlemen!
Let's broaden our minds. Lawrence.
[Pop rock song by Prince]
Give him a shave.
Terence, brush.
"All hail The new king in town "
"Young and old, Gather 'round
"Black and white, Red and green
"The funkiest man You've ever seen
"Tell you what his name is
"Partyman, Partyman
"Rock a party Like nobody can
"Rules and regulations No place in this nation
"Partyman, Partyman
"Party people Say it now
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah "
The one-dollar bill.
"Somebody holler if you wanna party"
JOKER: Hold it!
I kind of like this one. Leave it.
You can take that off now.
You're beautiful... in an old-fashioned kind of way.
But I'm sure we can make you more... today.
[Hissing]
Your portfolio?
I'm meeting someone who wants to see my work.
JOKER: Crap.
Crap. Crap.
Now that's good work.
The skulls, the bodies.
You give it such a glow. I don't know if it's art, but I like it.
Let me tell you what I'm thinking about.
I was in the bath one day...
...when I realized why I was destined for greatness.
You know how concerned people are about appearances.
This is attractive, that is not.
That is all behind me. I now do what other people only dream.
I make art...until someone dies.
See?
I am the world's first fully-functioning homicidal artist.
What do you want?
My face on the one-dollar bill.
[Vicki sighs]
You're joking.
Do I look like I'm joking?
No.
Listen.
We mustn't compare ourselves to regular people. We're artists.
JOKER: For instance, let me challenge you with a piece I did.
Bob. Alicia.
You will photograph and record my work.
You will join me in the avant-garde of the new aesthetic.
ALlClA: Jack, you said I could watch you improve the paintings.
I'm in trouble now.
VlCKl: Why is she wearing a mask?
She's just a sketch, really.
Alicia, sit down. Show the lady why you wear this mask.
Alicia's been made over in line with my new philosophy.
So now, like me...
...she is a living work of art.
I'm no Picasso, but...do you like it?
It's great.
So...what can I do for you?
A little song, a little dance.
