It must be nice. You were born in opportunity, honey, so you can afford to think in black and white. What I got with Oz, it ain't just one thing. I know what he is. A liar, narcissist. Killer... But we all got our shit, don't we?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Gold Summit. You'll be proud to say you were here tonight, all of you. Even though I know you hate each other's friggin' guts. The shit between the Massive and Odessa is legendary. LoBoys, you gotta scrap with everyone just to get a bit of respect. Got the Triads. Sullivans, the oldest crew in town. But the most hated here among us is yours truly and not for nothin'.
DSDonnie Sullivan
I got three of my guys strung up 'cause of you.
No, not 'cause of me. They're dead because the Maronis and Gigantes got the power to take you out. You want revenge? What the fսck is stoppin' ya? They're right over there across the Elliot Bridge. A bridge that was built by your ancestors, Donny Boy. But it ain't named Sullivan. No, it's named for the rich crooks who took credit for your family's hard work. They run shit. We eat shit. The sad thing, Donny Boy, is they don't even know your fuckin' name! They don't know none of youse. But I do. Sal, give me a fuckin' break. You know Sal bitches and moans about Carmine stealin' his Drops business? What do you think him and Sofia are gonna do to you, huh? They'll take your shit, your territories. That's what's comin'. 'Cause you mean nothin' to 'em. They don't give a fuck about any of you all. You know, not even a mile from here, there's a bunch of big-time City Hall fucks. They're sittin' in some fancy private club. They're drinkin' orange wine. They're making crooked deals to benefit them. And guess what? They can't fuckin' stand each other either, just like you. But they're breakin' bread because they know that each of them on their own, they ain't got nothin'. But together, those soft-bellied pricks, they run this whole fuckin' city. Why the hell not us? Now, I'm bringing you Bliss. Yeah, sure, that gives us the extra leg. But the real power comes if we've got each other's backs. Then Sal, Sofia, the old guard, they won't be able to fuckin' touch us.

This man's a fool. He betrays everyone he works with. Sofia Gigante, Alberto Falcone. There's no code, no class. The Penguin is a bargain-basement hustler. He'll do anything, say anything, and everyone here knows it.
Do they, Zhao? 'Cause here's what I know. Between us, we got more territory, more manpower than this city's ever seen. You wanna blow that away? Shit, go ahead. But I do got a fuckin' code! And I'm puttin' my goddamn life on the line to share it with ya. If we come together right here, right now, they're gonna talk about this night. You know, the time that we decided that it's better to work with the ones we hate than live under those that don't even know our fuckin' names! [to a mobster] Nick, give me a beer. [to the gang leaders] Look, everything you heard about me is true, you know? I stole Sofia's product. I, I popped Alberto Falcone. I did it all. So fuckin' what? I hustle. You know, I do what it takes. 'Cause at the end of the day, you know, I'm just a poor kid from the East Side who's got something to fuckin' prove. Like all of ya. [Oz cracks his beer open, inspiring the other gang leaders to do the same, and raises it] To taking back Gotham!
Oz, I'm sorry.
Fuck your guilt! Just get me an army, kid. Go.
SSal
You trying to make a deal, Oz? With me? Nothin' personal, remember? Hm, just part of the game? "I hold up my end, you hold up yours", you remember? You said that to me! Right? You looked me right in the eye, like a gentleman, and you assured me you wouldn't hurt my family! Guess what? I'm a gentleman, too, and I'm gonna give you the exact same deal.
'Kay, you wanna know about my boy, Oswald?
Please.
He's always two steps ahead. All those years, driving you around, cleaning up after you and your family, he was watchin'. Studyin'. He knows this game better than you. You changed your name! So what? Okay, you think everything's different now. That don't change the game, sweetheart. Drugs is drugs. Crack, Bliss, dope, Drops... it's all the same shit. Same winners, same losers. So, you call yourself whatever the hell you want, but... when my Oswald puts a bullet in that pretty little skull of yours, I'll be tap-dancing on your grave like Ginger fuckin' Rodgers.
You know what I'll never forget, Sal? Is the smell. Burning flesh. Y'know, muscle, fat, shit? The smell of hair. No, I didn't anticipate that. It's real distinct. Tell me, Sal, did your beautiful wife, Nadia, did she wear a special kinda hairspray or something? 'Cause, man, she went up like a tinder box.
The fuck?! C'mon, Jesus Christ! You were supposed to destroy me, Sal! Y'know, show me what a big man you are, what a fuckin' big man you are! Huh? Well, I got you! I fucking got you! You filthy, stupid prick! Fuck you! Try to steal from me. Try to take what's mine? What I built?! What'd you say? I didn't hear you. Say it again! Yeah... I didn't think so. I beat you, Salvatore Maroni. I win.
It might sound confusing, and I know that it hurts, but your mom and your dad, everyone in our family... they were bad people who deserved it. And I am glad that they're gone. Don't hurt yourself because of them. This is a gift. You're gonna get out of here. And you're gonna find a new home. And whatever woman you become... you deserve much better than what this family could have offered.
Before my father put me away, he wanted me to take over the family. He put me in an institution, and the second I got out, I walked right into another one. She's right. Francis is right, I thought I was doing something different, and I... I thought that I... I thought that I was different, but I'm still playing my father's game, I'm-- I'm abiding by his rules! I... Jesus Christ, I can't... breathe! Can't-- I can't breathe! I can't breathe...
Sofia, look at me. Your father's hand is not on your throat anymore. It doesn't matter what he or anyone else wanted for you. What do you want?
I wanna be free. I wanna be free... And I want Oz to feel pain. Real pain. The kind that I have felt. I need him to suffer for what he's done.
You think you know what I want. That it's the same for you and me. Of course you do. I guess this game was made for men like you. Like my father. Same winners, same losers. That's why everyone expected me to die in Arkham. No one even considered that I might learn something there. How to play new games.
I can't do this alone no more. You have to promise me that you're gonna make something of yourself. That you'll get me every goddamn thing I deserve. Lord, I ain't gonna make it! I don't know how else I can live with this, Oswald! But you'll make me happy, 'cause I deserve a happy life! Don't I? Don't I, Oswald? Tell me!
Of course you do, Ma. You deserve the best life. And I'm gonna get it for ya. I promise. And I ain't gonna quit 'til I do.

If Oz is what you say, well... Guys like him? They can serve a purpose. Go on to do big fuckin' things, especially in my line of work. But you gotta know how to control them. Mostly, guys that come to me say they're looking to make money. Now that's fine. But greed don't buy loyalty. If I want loyalty, I bring in guys who are looking for a father. Guys like that got a void to fill. They'll do anything for me. Now, Oswald... He don't need a father. He's got you. He's devoted to you. You can use that. Foster what he's got, embrace that, raise it. Maybe he'd be great. Or maybe not, I dunno. You'd have to bet on him to see.
I see you, Ma, in ways that other people don't. I see the way you smile when you want people to think you're enjoying something you ain't. I see how you smoke more when you're thinking, or you drink more when you're sad. I see how hard you work. How smart you are. And how you wish the people who matter would notice... or the people like that wouldn't matter at all. No one else believes in you like me. No one else is gonna give you what you deserve.

Watch what you say. You gotta know your place, or you're gonna catch a bullet. Then you really don't matter.
I just wanna know... was it worth it?
Fuck you.
Did he give you everything that you wanted?
Fuck you!
Did he fulfill his promise?
Ma! Ma!
Or do you wish you would've let Rex take him for that ride? What did you lose by keeping him alive? I know what I lost. What he took from me. He deserves to know what he did to you. How you feel about him and how... how angry you are! Tell him. Tell him.
