[edit] Plot

Harley Quinn sits, bored, in a prison cell where Poison Ivy and Catwoman are both asleep. After failing to elicit a response from Catwoman, she bothers Poison Ivy for a story. She tries "Jack and The Beanstalk" but Poison Ivy responds she hates; then Harley tries "Sleeping Beauty" and "Princess in The Pea" but Poison Ivy dislikes those stories as well. In the end, they go with "Goldilocks".

Ivy tells the story of the "Three Babes" (herself, Harley and Catwoman) going on a walk to let their food cool while "Goldilocks" (Batgirl) invades their house. She discards Catwoman and Ivy's food in favor of Harley's, goes through a similar routine by sitting down in their chairs... and then Catwoman hurries her through the "bed" segment to the part where they catch her. Goldilocks tries to escape, but is dragged back and thoroughly beaten up by the Three Babes. She finally manages to flee the scene, and is never seen again.

Harley applauds the story, Catwoman is ambivalent, and Batgirl arrives at their cell to express her approval at "a happy ending."

[edit] Interactive Segment

When the Three Babes catch "Goldilocks," the viewer has the option to let Harley attack her with a seltzer bottle, a cream pie, or a boxing glove gun. This can continue for an indefinite length of time, as the viewer also gets to choose when to return to the movie.

[edit] Notes

• Poison Ivy's reaction to Sleeping Beauty having "apple abuse" is odd, as there are no apples to speak of in Sleeping Beauty. It is possible that she had it confused with Snow White, which also features a "sleeping beauty." However, Sleeping Beauty may have involved the "abuse" of briars.

[edit] Quotes

Catwoman: What?! Harley Quinn:I'm bored! Catwoman:Take a Cat nap. Harley Quinn:I can't! Catwoman:Then bother Ivy Harley Quinn: Tell me a story! Jack and the Beanstalk! Poison Ivy: I hate that story. Rife with plant abuse. Harley Quinn: Sleeping Beauty? Poison Ivy: Apple abuse. Harley Quinn: Princess and the Pea? [Poison Ivy just gives her a look.] Harley Quinn:I know pea abuse.....Goldilocks? Poison Ivy:This is a story of Goldilocks Harley Quinn:But no bears! I hate bears! PEEEWWW!

Poison Ivy: ...when who should break in but- Harley Quinn: Goldilocks? Poison Ivy: Yeah. Except this one had pointy ears and a black cowl.

Batgirl: Ah... I love a happy ending, don't you? This one's just right.
