Mr. Scarface and I have discussed our options, and the submarine sounds like a good plan.

[nodding toward Nygma] And since we'll need the smart one to guild this hay-gurner, he can keep suckin' air. Gut Penguin ain't so lucky! Do it, Penn! Ventilate that mook!
I welcomed you into my home! And, yes, I was not a good friend. To you, or to anyone. It's why I'm alone. But I saw you for what you are, and I valued that. That must be worth something.

Applesauce! You're a liar and a thief! All you do is take, take...
Oswald, I accept you for the person you are, just as you accept me for the cold logician I am. That's why this friendship is great. And as my friend, you have to agree that that lunatic had to be stopped.
[to Selina] You always did think you were better than me. But without my plants, you never would have left your bed. I made you strong again. Think about that while my friend is cutting out your heart.
What am I getting myself into, Alfred? How am I supposed to raise a child alongside a psychopath like Barbara Kean? I mean, how the hell is this going to work? But... that's not all of it. If Jim and I are going to do this, we have to do it together. You know how he is. I don't know what's going on inside that man's head sometimes.
I had no interest in being a father myself. I always presumed that I was unfit to be one. And then I found myself one night, staring down this alley at this little boy quite literally shaking with fear. I don't know, it's funny what life throws you. I am keenly aware that I am not Master Bruce's flesh and blood, but it's the moments... the little things, like when he uses a skill that I once taught him, or when we laugh at a joke that only he and I share... those have been some of the most ecstatic moments of my life. Nothing can possibly prepare you for that joy. The how's and the what's, you'll figure that stuff out. What matters is this: you'll be an exquisite mother, and that child - he, she - will be extraordinary because of you.
I'm just gonna say this isn't gonna be some long, drawn-out, tearful affair like ya'll are used to. This is gonna be a short wedding. I'm gonna make it quick so we can all get to the bar. I first met a young Jim Gordon when he was a pain-in-the-ass, moralistic rookie detective. In the years since, he has evolved into a pain-in-the-ass, moralistic captain. I'd say he's my best friend, but in truth he's my only friend, so we'll skip that. On to Lee. Lee's always had his back, except for the time she was infected with the crazy-making virus and she tried to kill him... but that's love. But I will say that if there's one beautiful thing that's happened over these last few crazy years, it's that these two people met each other. And that truly is a beautiful thing. Jim, will you please take Lee's hand? Do you, Jim Gordon, take Lee Thompkins to be your lawful, wedded wife from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish 'til death do you part?
And now Jim Gordon and Lee Thompkins are man and wife. Thank God you held this city together so this blessed event could take place. It was never gonna work.
Controlling the gangs was not a backup plan. You saw a chance to convince James Gordon you had changed, but he will never see you as anything but a dangerous woman keeping his child from him.
Rest easy, Eduardo. I made you a promise when I found you in that hole in Pena Dura, and I intend to keep it. To give you a true purpose, and the strength to see it through.
I assure you, we will not launch without you. Ed and I will finish making preparations, and be ready to launch the moment you get back with that little bundle of joy! Or, unless I should drive you to the clinic in light of your delicate condition...
