Batman: It was all a lie. There's nothing wrong with you.
Joker: Nice of you to say, but you of all people should know... [emerges from the shadows, revealing the nasty rash on his face] there's plenty wrong with me. [holds up a vial of blood] Take my blood for example. I wish somebody would. This stuff is killing me!
Batman: Why should I care?
Joker: Because now, there's a teeny little bit of me in you too, Bats. [Batman looks at the blood-filled IV next to him] Oh, c'mon. Don't tell me it's not what you've always wanted. [seriously] Look, we're running out of time. I need your help. I nearly had a cure. It was so close, and then it was taken from me!
Batman: So we both die. I'm fine with that.
Joker: Are you? Imagine sucking down that last breath, knowing that Gotham is doing the same.
Batman: What are you talking about?
Joker: Oh, didn't I say? I've spent weeks shipping samples of my blood to emergency rooms all over the city.

Naofumi: If any of you earn coin, I see no reason to take it. You earned it.
Teal:...So if I grow herbs and sell them to an apothecary, I can keep the coin?
Naofumi: (Unease) Y-yeah, sure...
Teal: If Filo and I go out and kill a few monsters by ourselves... Can we sell the spoils?
Naofumi: Well the family as a whole should get first-"
Teal: And if Monti poisons someone and I offer the antivenom for a price then-
Naofumi: You're already pushing it. (Beat) Though ransoming antivenom for profit isn't a bad idea... Monti I'll need some of your venom later.

Lord Refa: Oh, Londo. You are a fool. You walked away from the greatest power I have ever seen. And now you expect me to do the same? They are the key to my eventual rise to the throne. Why would I abandon them?
Londo Mollari: Because I have asked you. (Refa laughs) And because your loyalty to our people should be greater than your ambition. (Refa laughs again) And because I have poisoned your drink. (Refa stops laughing) Yes, and it is a very interesting poison. It comes in two parts. Both are harmless on their own, but when combined, quite lethal. The first settles into the bloodstream and the intestinal walls. It stays there for years; silent, dormant, waiting. When the other half of the poison enters the body, the two meet, have a little party in your cardiovascular system, and suddenly... you are quite dead. Your drink contained the first half of the poison.
Lord Refa: Why? Why did you do this?
Londo Mollari: To guarantee your cooperation. And because sooner or later, you would do it to me. Yes, we are returning to the old ways, Refa, and poison was always the instrument of choice in the old Republic. Being something of a sentimentalist, I got here first.

Alfyn's medicine tome: Gaborra evergreen: a flowering plant native to the tropical and subtropical regions of the continent of Gaborra known for its antipyretic properties. A constituent compound has been known to cause inflammation and swelling of the throat, inducing severe coughing. The symptoms resemble those of the whooping cough known to plague the land whence it hails. Due to the risk of severe and adverse reactions, use of Gaborra evergreen in any dosage is higly discouraged.
Alfyn: ...! That Vanessa... She couldn't have!
(flashback to his first meeting with Vanessa)
Vanessa: I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't share trade secrets with those in the business...
Alfyn: (present) She knew exactly what she was doing... She gave the villagers that medicine for free, knowing full well that when the side effects kicked in...
(flashback to Vanessa talking about whooping cough)
Vanessa: But worry not. Among my wares is a tonic that will cure it overnight. Because of the rarity of the reagent, I fear I must charge a substantial fee...
Alfyn: (present) She induced those symptoms on purpose so she could sell her overpriced elixir...
"Kenji-san asked me to meet him later. I think he wants to break up."
"My grandmother said you should poison your man every morning before he leaves. Tell him he can have the antidote when he comes home."
"What poison should I use?"
"I'm sure my grandmother can give you something. She doesn't need it anymore."
"She's not worried about your grandfather running away?"
"He can't. He's paralyzed. You have to be very careful with the dosage."
