[to a bound Hugo Strange]
I should cook him.
They want him alive.
So I'll just cook part of him.
Oh no, my dear, let's be calm...
You don't have that kind of control.
And you do? In my hands this flamethrower is a scalpel.
Fine. We each take a foot. Whoever goes above the ankle loses.
[They charge up their weapons.]
You're on!
[watching the virus wreak havoc on the city] As the flames of hedonism licked the very foundation of its society, Nero played and sang "The Destruction of Troy". I will say this about the Court of Owls: they have style!
He has it. It's in his eyes. [laughing] He has the virus!
Really. So tell me, James, what's it feel like?
Like it's taking all my willpower not to kill you.
Oh, my!
I want you to leave.
Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen, is it, mate? You have to remember who you are.
I know who I am. I have a destiny.
Now you listen to me. That man who wanted you to detonate that bomb, whatever he promised you - freedom from pain, power - none of it, none of it was real. I want you to remember what is real.
I know what's real! I got vengeance for my parents' murder! That's real!
No. No, that's not real. What's real is that every time that you were sick when you were a kid your mum used to sit up with you all night and read until you fell asleep. That's real. Or when you were seven and you took your silly rowing boat out and you got lost in that storm, and me and your dad were out, shouting, screaming, losing our minds, and when your dad found you, how he cried. That's real. Yes, your parents died in that alley three years ago, and maybe that man took away the pain of that night, but there is no life, there is no love, without pain. He could not touch the love your mum and dad gave you, that you still have in you. [touches Bruce's heart] That you still have in here. The same love I have for you. I love you, Master Bruce. I would do anything for you. I would die for you. You must find that love again. Come back to me, Master Bruce.
I have been alive for more years than you can imagine. I have seen and done things that would shake the very core of what you believe. I am thought to be a demon. A saint. A ghost. But for all my years, all my travels, there is one thing that I have never found: a true heir. But I need to know if you're ready.
I am.
Where's Babs?
What do you want with her?
That's none of your business, errand boy.
What did you call me?
Sorry. You're not an errand boy. You're more of a shoeshine boy. Did she give you a little stand in front, cute little hat? That's more your speed.
[Gordon and Bullock find Fish Mooney, Victor Fries and Bridget Pike battling ninjas of the League of Shadows as Penguin and Hugo Strange watch.]
Sweet Mother Mercy!
[Gordon, influenced by the Alice Tetch virus, attacks and kills all the ninjas with one of their katanas. Reflexively stabbing behind him, he accidentally stabs Fish in the stomach, to Penguin's horror. Fish drops the antidote to the virus, shattering all but one of the vials.]
You... damn... fool!
FISH! [he runs to her side as she collapses, Gordon drops the katana]
Oswald...
It's okay, it's-it's- we, we can get you some help-
No, no... I've done this enough times... to know I'm finished.
Do not say that. We will get you help-
Listen to me! [convulses in pain] Listen to me. Make this city yours... or you burn it to the ground.
[she dies]
You and the ex are infected, huh? I hear Lee wants to remove my pretty little head from my body. Is it weird that kinda makes me like her?
What's the matter, you've never seen a mason jar full of blood before?
You will always fail, Oswald, because you will always let your base emotions drive you. Hate. Anger. Fear. Love.
Shut up!
You wanna know why I could never love someone like you, Oswald?
I'm warning you...
Because you are a spoiled child who throws a tantrum anytime he doesn't get what he wants! Especially when what he wants doesn't want him back.
[in a note to Gordon] Jim, I knew if I saw you I might not have the courage to leave, and I need to. I finally understand Gotham in a way I suspect you always have. It's a place where the strongest and the most cunning rule. Where the cost of survival is paid for by others, and everyone feels alone. Having the virus showed me the city as it truly was - as I truly was. In so many ways, the virus made me feel reborn. But if having the virus allowed Gotham to embrace its worst self, the cure should remind us there's always hope, a chance to remember who we can be, rather than who we are. I don't know if Gotham deserves saving, but if anyone can save it, it's you. And in return, maybe it can save you as well. And then maybe, one day, it will send you back to me. Until then, love always, Lee.
This is Gotham City. There will always be crime. What I am offering is crime in the hands of professionals, and held to agreed upon terms.
From which you'll profit.
God bless America.
[sees Gordon's bloody nose] Ooh, ouch.
I think we can forget about backup.
I see you talked to some of your fellow officers. Probably not a bad thing.
How's that?
Guys need to let off steam, resentments don't fester.
Next time, you can get punched in the face.
This beautiful mug? No one would dare.
You ladies were not easy to track down. [glances around at shabby apartment] Although I can see why you don't advertise. Didn't you used to be rich?
That was before your boss stole my club.
Well, you murdered his mom and tried to kill him, so... call it even?
I have my things in the car. We can stop them in the parking garage.
Absolutely not, Master Bruce.
Alfred, Penguin is gonna to take those men out and kill them.
Undoubtedly so - but as you said before, you can make a difference. There is a time for masks, and there is a time for Bruce Wayne.
