Joker: Hi. You know...I don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Harvey. When you and...
Dent: Rachel!
Joker: Rachel were being abducted...I was sitting in Gordon's cage. I didn't rig those charges.
Dent: Your men, your plan.
Joker: Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know? I just do things. The Mob has plans. The cops have plans. Gordon's got plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers...how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say... Ah. Come here. When I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal...you'll know that I'm telling the truth.
Gordon: I'm gonna need your weapon.
Berg:What? Why? Because my wife’s in the hospital?
Gordon: Yeah, that'd be why.
Joker: It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans...and look where that got you.
Announcer: Police are taking every precaution...urging people not to take matters into their hands.
Joker: I just did what I do best. I took your little plan and I turned it on itself. Look what I did to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple of bullets. Hm? You know what I noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow I tell the press that, like,a gangbanger will get shot...or a truckload of soldiers will be blowing up...nobody panics. Because it's all part of the plan. But when I say that one little old mayor will die...well, then, everyone loses their minds.Introduce a little anarchy...upset the established order...and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
