At the police station, Terry and Violet visit Commissioner Viva Springwater for answers about The Joker.

Viva: Go away.

Terry: Morning, commish.

Violet: Auntie.

Viva: You understand English, you two? Scram.

Terry: Love to. But, first what can you tell us about clowns?

Viva: In this town they're never funny.

Violet: I noticed that.

Terry: Now this Joker—

Viva: Drop it, kid.

Terry: That's what the old man's been saying.

Viva: Listen to him.

Terry: Hey look, I know this fruitcake was one of the big bad guys from the cape and cowl days.

Viva: He was more than that.

Terry: What? A garden-variety wacko who threatened people with whoopee cushions and squirting flowers? Big deal, I'm shaking.

Viva: McGinnis! The Joker, the real Joker, was unlike anyone you've ever faced. And for your sake, I hope you never do. If Branch wants you to drop it, then drop it.

Women Over The Phone: Commissioner, your 9 o'clock is here.

Viva: Send him in. You two were leaving?

Violet: Figure we were.

As they walk out, Tim Drake walked in.

Tim: Thanks for seeing me, Viva.

Viva: That's what I'm here for.
