Quote:No idea had ever gone from so very good to so very bad in so very little time.From the most recent Cat-Tales installment. Poor, dumb bastards....
Going after Joker in the dentist’s chair. It seemed like the most inspired hit ever. There he’d be: helpless. That’s how you get the dangerous guys. When their guard’s down. When they’re helpless. Lying back, mouth open, he’d never see it coming. It seemed like the best idea Sal and Rudy ever had—until the blood started spraying. Sal didn’t even know where it was coming from at first.
“PSYCH!” Joker laughed—and all of a sudden blood was spurting. Rudy grabbed his neck and something really hard—which turned out to be Joker’s head—rammed itself into Sal’s forehead. Then something else hard—which turned out to be a metal tray, came crashing down on the top of his head three or four times.
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? What the hell were they thinking going after The Joker where there was a tray full of sharp pointy things sitting right next to him?!
“HAHAHAHAHA! Made you look!” Joker cried.
Sal tripped over the dentist’s body as he tried to ‘step back’ without realizing that ‘crawl away’ would have been more viable movement with a wild man swinging—OUCH!—some big fucking gray thing around at face-height. The fall onto his back left him flailing like a turtle, but it gave him the first clear view of what was happening with Rudy. His partner was holding his neck like he was trying to hold back the blood from a throat-puncture, but there wasn’t any blood coming from underneath his hand. All the blood was coming out the back of his wrist, where two silver dental picks still protruded. His hand still held his gun, which was hanging a little too loosely from his one finger and was pointing aimlessly at the back window—at least it had been until Joker leapt out of the chair and swung Rudy around to take his place there and it went off, blowing a hole in the filing cabinet.
“HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! Now, what’s that expression? ‘Is it safe?’”
