Okay, first off, okay, jingle bells. I get that.
Fine. Jingle bells. I mean, I don't know what the hell they
are. Are they like sleigh bells? Are they the same
thing? What the fuck a jingle bell is I don't know and I don't
care. But okay, fine, everyone gets jingle bells. What is
there to argue about? They're goddamn jingle bells. There's
no controversy about them. So forget about it. Just let it
pass, for Christ's sake, I don't know why some people have to make a
federal case out of everything. Jingle bells.
But you know what? Can I be honest here? Can I be
absolutely fucking forthright about something for once in my
life? Batman smells.
I mean, he fucking stinks.
The guy smells like fucking shit.
Like acutal shit. Big
goddamn crimefighter, saving Gotham City. Really impressive,
that's great. Well you know what? Save us from something
else, Mr. I Smell Like a Horse's Ass.
I'm serious, man: you smell.
You smell bad. What,
are we supposed to be impressed that you have that fucking suit and
you're swinging from a rope and all that crap, when you smell like a goddamn toilet?
Fucking Bruce Wayne, man. The guy is a millionaire. He's
the richest man in the city. He buys and sells people like they
were baseball cards. Fights crime by night with a utility belt
but he can't be bothered to take a fucking shower every once in a
while. Put some fucking deodorant in your utility belt if you
really want to impress people, jackass. I'm not kidding around
here. You think this is funny? You think I'm lying? Well, try this, Mr.
Doubting Thomas: go and steal a TV set one night and then
just hang around waiting for Batman to show up. Oh, you'll know
he's coming, all right: you'll be able to tell from a mile away
because your eyes will be watering from the horrible stench.
Because Batman smells.
He stinks. There's no
way to put a pretty face on it.
And Robin -- okay, I don't want to get into a big thing here. I
don't like to tell people how to live their lives. If you want to
go around smelling like used toilet paper, fine. If you want to
live in a cave with a young boy who wears chain mail underpants, well,
I guess we can chalk that up to an eccentricity of the rich, can't
we? But Robin -- all right, I'm going to speak frankly
here. I'm not going to dance around this. We all know what
we're talking about here. Robin laid
an egg. He -- I mean, what
the fuck? Seriously. He laid a goddamn egg. What
that? He's a fourteen-year-old
boy and he laid an egg.
How does that even happen? What in the name of God is going on at
Wayne Manor? I'm not a judgy-type person. But that's repulsive. It's a fucking travesty, a little boy laying an
egg. Are you hearing what I'm saying? Robin...laid...an...egg. It
makes me sick just thinking about it. I have an image in my head,
I don't even want to describe it to you because I can't get it out of
my mind and it makes me want to throw up.
Now, okay, look. I'm no millionare. I don't know how these
things work. I'm also no mechanic and I don't know how you pros
do things. But, okay, did you know that the Batmobile lost a wheel? It just...it fell right off. This is a car
that cost like fifty million dollars. And the fucking wheel fell off. You can't --
I mean, Christ, hasn't Mr. Bat-Stink ever heart of routine preventive
maintenance? I guess if you can't be bothered to clean the
dingleberries off your ass you can't be bothered to change your oil
either, but look. You can't just take the fucking thing to a
Jiffy-Lube. You have to take some goddamn responsibility.
How is it going to look when you're tooling around town with your
stinking ass and your teenage sidekick with the egg that popped out of
his rear end and your...the wheel
falls off your fucking car? It's unbelievable. Do
you know what happened when the Batmobile lost its wheel? The Joker got away! The guy
killed like fifty people! He's a goddamn mass murderer and now he's sipping
sangria in Maztlan because Shitty-Drawers can't take care of his
car. You think that Gordon or the rest of the cops would be able
to get away with letting the Joker get away because the wheels fell off
their patrol cars? God! God.
