Here's the quote from the game. (I'm fairly sure it was in the Batman movie as well, except it was a bomb. The Dark Knight one, because I'm aware there are tons of Batman movies.)

"Then here is my hypothetical question: You and your sibling are captured and locked in separate cells, unable to communicate. The mage responsible appears and speaks.

He explains his sadistic game: In each cell there is a magical button. If you press your button and your sibling does not, you will die but your sibling is free.

If your sibling presses the button and you do not, they will die but you will go free. If neither you nor your sibling press the buttons, both of you will die.

If both of you press your respective buttons, both of you will die. The Mage says that you have one turn of the hourglass to decide your action, then he leaves."

One of your party members doesn't see the point of the question and announces, and I quote, "This is silly! Buttons are not how one escapes dungeons! I would smash the button and rain beatings liberally down on the wizard for playing such a trick!"

I would totally say that (with strikethroughs) just to see if anyone recognised it and, well, just for giggles.
