  Episode Quotes  
The Joker: No safe is safe when I'm around! (He opens the door. Batman is in the safe.)
Batman: Except this one!
 
Dick Grayson: (repeating a riddle read to him over the phone) What's worth two in the bush? Don't worry, Commissioner! I... uh... we'll solve it. (He hangs up.) Now's my chance to show Batgirl and Batman! I'll get those three villains all by myself!
 
The Riddler: What's worth... two in the bush? A bird in the hand... is right! And the bird in our hands... is Robin! (laughs insanely)
 
The Riddler: Now... we can steal... the Peruvian treasure map!
The Penguin: Yeah – this half of the Dynamic Duo will still be here when we get back!
The Joker: That is... if he doesn't (laughs maniacally) drop in on the crocodiles!
