I think it's safe to take that off.

You're quite beautiful.

VICKI
... Thank you.

JOKER
Unfortunate, but I think we can work
around it.

You're Vicki Vale. I guess you know
who I am -- Is this your portfolio?

Crap. Crap. Crap, crap, crap...
Ahhh. Now here's what caught my eye.

The panic. The bloody skulls. The
armless screaming fellows... you know,
the atrocities.
I don't know if it's art, but I like it.

I'm just an old cornball, but I live
for beauty. I look around at my drab
little city, it gets me down.

Then it came to me that what this city
needs... is beautification. Kind of a
big makeover.

And this is exactly the look I'm going
for. You know the saying. "In his
image created he them"?

VICKI
And you want a --

JOKER
A visual record, yes. A before-and-
after kind of thing.
This could make your reputation.


VICKI
Maybe we should start with a portrait
of the artist. People might like to see
the face behind the makeup.

JOKER
... Behind the makeup?

Oh. Yes. I see what you mean.

Silly little twit -- I can't take
you anywhere!

Well? What are you waiting for??

You see, Miss Vale -- that was my
makeup.
What do you think?

VICKI
I've seen worse. Much worse.

JOKER
Strong stomach, huh? I like that in
a woman -- Maybe we can do business after all.

VOICE
Jack?

JOKER
Christ, it's my girlfriend.
What?

ALICIA
You said I could look at the pictures
before you -- before you --

JOKER
Shucks, honey, I forgot. I'm in trouble now.
This is business, sweetie. Why don't
you go outside and see how the boys are coming?

VICKI
... Why the mask?

JOKER
Alicia! Come here, have a seat. Show
Miss Vale why you wear the mask.

You see, Miss Vale, Alicia's beautiful.
One in a million. A work of art. In fact...

... She makes you look sick.

VICKI
You scum! You sick filth!... You did
that to her!

JOKER
What? I improved her a little...

VICKI
I'll see you burn. I'll see you dead --
get away from me!!

JOKER
Miss Vale, was it something I said?
Do you want to sniff my flower?

VICKI
No!
