Q: Do children get paid at the age of ten to play football?

A: Son, let me make this clear:

You are not being paid to play, you are being paid to lose.

To lose big. By at least three touchdowns.

I have a lot riding on this one. Daddy's made some bad investments and he needs to make good, quick. I need you, son. I'm counting on you. I need you to go out there and not come through.

Now get out there and fail, get out there and fall down, get out there and fumble, fumble like your life depends on it. Because it kind of does.

I don't imagine you'll last too long living on the streets without a father.

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?
