- Batman: Cleaning up crime is the dream of every good citizen, Batgirl. But one thought intrigues me: how did you know that Robin and I might be in trouble with Penguin in this glue-factory?
- Batgirl: Through the one thing you couldn't possibly have in your utility belt, Batman... a woman's intuition.
....
- The Penguin: Now what about the other Parasol, the four- legged one. Is that also a fake?
- Lola Lasagne: Do you mean my prize-winning filly, with the white stripe in the middle of the forehead? That's the only thing I have to show for me three weeks of marriage to Luigi Lasagna.
- The Penguin: What! The billionaire South American playboy?
- Lola Lasagne: Not exactly a playboy, Pengie. Luigi's almost 80. Instead of dying, as any adoring young wife might reasonably expect, he divorced me! Can you imagine he thought I was after his money?
