Harvey Bullock quotes from Gotham

Harvey Bullock

I love bartending. It involves two of my favorite things: drinking and ignoring people.

Harvey Bullock

How now so righteous? Hmm? Not long since you put a man in the river.

Jim Gordon

You want to say that a little louder? Not everybody heard.

Harvey Bullock

Ever since then, you've been a royal pain in the ass. You think I or anybody around here gives a crap about a dead snitch or your guilty conscience?

Jim Gordon

No body? We calling this a murder?

Harvey Bullock

Call it a public service. Danzer was a bum. He got what he deserved. I'm gonna go get a danish. That's what I deserve.

Harvey Bullock

Ed, what you got?

Edward Nygma

I have a paradox for you.

Harvey Bullock

What?

Edward Nygma

Well, a paradox, Detective, is when you...

Harvey Bullock

I know what a paradox is, smart-ass.

Jim Gordon

Where is he? Where is Potolsky?

Those hypocrites! Empty altruism will not erase what they've done. They must pay.

Jim Gordon

Who? Who must pay?

WellZyn. Wayne Enterprises. Everyone will finally see them for what they are.

Jim Gordon

How? Where's Potolsky headed?

Harvey Bullock

What's 'altruism?'

WellZyn has no connection to this tragedy. We will vigorously pursue legal action against any individuals making assertions to the contrary.

Harvey Bullock

Do you think we push a button, or does she just rewind automatically?

Harvey Bullock

Where the hell have you been?

Jim Gordon

Personal business.

Harvey Bullock

You disappear in the middle of a case, you can't even tell me why?

Jim Gordon

That's what "personal" means.

Harvey Bullock

I didn't realize this before. You're a hypnotist, right?

A hypnotherapist.

Harvey Bullock

Oh, therapist. It's a funny word, therapist. Can either mean "therapist" or "the rapist."

Randall Milkie is undone. Gone. This body is moved by the Spirit of the Goat.

Harvey Bullock

Uh, we're going to go with Milkie. I've already done the paperwork.

He always thinks he's the smartest one in the room.

Jim Gordon

I know, right?

Harvey Bullock

[annoyed] That's because I'm always in a room full of idiots.

Harvey Bullock

So I've been thinking. You're still a douchebag. But you have the moral high ground. So I'm gonna back your play, whatever it is. I figure I'm doomed anyhow. I might as well join the good guys.

Jim Gordon

Thank you.

Harvey Bullock

So what is your play? I mean, you got one, right? You said you had one.

Jim Gordon

Tomorrow morning, I'm arresting Falcone and the mayor for the framing of Mario Pepper. Conspiracy, POJ, Rico, the works.

Harvey Bullock

Well, that's a…that's a hell of a plan. You sit there with a panel of chimpanzees and a bucket of crack and come up with that one?

Jim Gordon

I figure whatever else happens, we'll stir things up. We might even make the papers.

Harvey Bullock

Oh, yeah, we're gonna make the papers, all right. We're gonna be dead in the streets in time for the evening edition.

Jim Gordon

Well, at least the people will know the truth. And we'll go out doing our jobs, enforcing the law.

Harvey Bullock

That's the best inspirational speech you got? Doing our jobs?

Jim Gordon

You don't have to join me.

Harvey Bullock

No, I'm game. Like I said, I'm doomed anyhow.

Alfred Pennyworth

I'm coming with you.

Harvey Bullock

All right. You're pretty handy for a valet.

Alfred Pennyworth

[racks his pistol] Butler, mate. I'm the butler.

Sarah Essen

You know I'd bring you back here in a second…if I could.

Jim Gordon

I know. It's all good, Captain.

Sarah Essen

You do look spiffy in the uniform.

Harvey Bullock

Yeah, if spiffy means dorky.

Jim Gordon

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Harvey Bullock

Hey, pal.

In a cow slip's bell I lie, there I crouch when owls do cry.

Harvey Bullock

All right. I can dig that.

Oswald Cobblepot

A simple phone call would resolve things, I'm sure.

Harvey Bullock

But, see, I like having you here. 'Cause I can sit at my desk and look at you. It's soothing. Like a bonsai tree.

Gabe

What's a bonsai tree?
