Q: Why generator generate high voltage?

A: The higher the voltage, the deadlier the laser. The deadlier the laser, the more Gotham I can destroy. The more Gotham I can destroy, the higher ransom I can demand. The higher ransom I demand, the more commemorative "Freedom For Iraq" plates I can buy.

Those plates are hand crafted. Those plates are one of a kind. Those plates will only increase in value.

I must have those plates. For I am the Plate Master. 

Increase the voltage! Power the laser! Prepare to fire.

Fire the laser!

I said "Fire the laser!"

You already fired it? 

Did it burn anything?

That's it? Just that flower?

Um, okay,

We're going to need more hamsters. And a bigger wheel. Maybe some scientists. 

We'll just buckle down, start over, and  -

- Did you hear that?

I swear I heard something. It sounded like a POW. Or a ZAP.

There it is again. Clearly a ZAP. Didn't you hear it, guys?

Guys?
