beyond the pale

The phrase "beyond the pale" dates back to the 14th century, when the part of Ireland that was under English rule was delineated by a boundary made of such stakes or fences, and known as the English Pale. To travel outside of that boundary, beyond the pale, was to leave behind all the rules and institutions of English society, which the English modestly considered synonymous with civilization itself.

Ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

JOKER:
Tell me, my friend, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Line habitually used by the Joker (Jack Nicholson) in Tim Burton's Batman. Best movie in the franchise, pre-Christian Bale.
Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? I ask that of all my prey. I just like the sound of it.

beyond the pale

1. A pale is an old term for a fencepost or a fence, thus a barrier. Those within the barrier were civilized because it was usually a large building, castle, tract of land, or town. Those outside the barrier, or "beyond the pale", were uncivilized and not under control.

2. Outside the bounds of acceptable behavior.

beyond the pale

A pale is a protected area or jurisdiction. To be outside or beyond it is to be outside of civilization--hence, uncivilized and with no expectation of civilized treatment.
