== Quotes ==
* '''[[Batman]]''': Whatever is fair in love and war is also fair in crime-fighting.

....
* '''[[Chief O'Hara]]''' Brazen bird! I'll wager there's a connection between this and that parasol he stole from Lola Lasagna today at the race track.
* '''[[Commissioner Gordon]]''': You wager, Chief O'Hara? A public servant, an upstanding chief of police, betting?

....
* '''[[Oswald Cobblepot|The Penguin]]''': I knew you when you'd steal the braces from other kids teeth.
* '''[[Lola Lasagne]]''': While you stole their teeth!

....
* '''[[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.

....
* '''[[Oswald Cobblepot|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.
* '''[[Oswald Cobblepot|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?
* '''[[Oswald Cobblepot|The Penguin]]''': What slander! Fah!
