Harvey Bullock quotes from Gotham

Harvey Bullock

Wait, this is is the owl? What the hell happened to it?

Alfred Pennyworth

Jerome Valeska smashed it to bits when he broke into the Manor, didn't he? Can you put it back together again?

Harvey Bullock

I can't even do a jigsaw puzzle. I just mash the pieces in with my fists until they fit.

Harvey Bullock

Sweet Mother Mercy!

Fish Mooney

You... damn... fool!

Oswald Cobblepot

FISH! [he runs to her side as she collapses, Gordon drops the katana]

Fish Mooney

Oswald...

Oswald Cobblepot

It's okay, it's-it's- we, we can get you some help-

Fish Mooney

No, no... I've done this enough times... to know I'm finished.

Oswald Cobblepot

Do not say that. We will get you help-

Fish Mooney

Listen to me! [convulses in pain] Listen to me. Make this city yours... or you burn it to the ground.

Harvey Bullock

[sees Gordon's bloody nose] Ooh, ouch.

Jim Gordon

I think we can forget about backup.

Harvey Bullock

I see you talked to some of your fellow officers. Probably not a bad thing.

Jim Gordon

How's that?

Harvey Bullock

Guys need to let off steam, resentments don't fester.

Jim Gordon

Next time, you can get punched in the face.

Harvey Bullock

This beautiful mug? No one would dare.

Jim Gordon

Hey.

Harvey Bullock

Hey.

Jim Gordon

You gave me quite the scare, back there. How you feeling?

Harvey Bullock

...I've had better days.

Jim Gordon

The doc says you're gonna be OK.

Harvey Bullock

Well, that shows what he knows. Pyg? [Gordon shakes his head] Son of a bitch. He could've killed me, but he cut me just deep enough to make you choose: go after him, or save my worthless hide.

Jim Gordon

It wasn't a choice.

Harvey Bullock

Either way, I owe you.

Jim Gordon

So pay it back, now. Tell me the truth: how long you been taking money from Penguin? [Harvey looks away] You knew Metzke was the bag-man; you knew Nakajima was dirty. Then Pyg... says all this stuff, about you deserving to be killed. [coldly] I don't know why I didn't see it before; maybe I didn't want to. I just need to know, how long. We talkin' years?

Harvey Bullock

[tearfully] No. Just since this license crap started. The commissioner ordered us to comply. Then, Metzke started showing up with these envelopes, stuffed with cash. I didn't do nothing I wouldn'ta done anyway. [Gordon nods, looks away] You gotta understand, Jim, the bills I got...the debts I got-

Jim Gordon

It stops. It stops, right now. [leaves]

Jim Gordon

Those cops were waiting for you.

Harvey Bullock

Yeah. To spit in my face.

Jim Gordon

If that's what they wanted to do. You owed it to them to be there. To stand in front of them. Look each one in the eye. If you'd have done that, maybe you could have gotten their respect.

Harvey Bullock

I don't deserve their respect. Jim, I shot Officer Patel. What the hell was I supposed to do? Stand in front of her and hand her the bullet that I shot her with, that came from my gun?

Jim Gordon

That's the job. Take responsibility for what happens to your cops. That's the job.

Harvey Bullock

So now you're telling me what the job is?

Jim Gordon

Yeah.

Harvey Bullock

Well, today, Jim... I just couldn't do the job. So I sent you. Because I knew you could.

Jim Gordon

It's not good enough. Not today. They needed you there.

Harvey Bullock

Well... Ain't nothing I can do about it, now.

Jim Gordon

[stands up, takes the form out of his pocket] You got a pen?

Harvey Bullock

For what?

Jim Gordon

Harvey Bullock, you are relieved of duty. As of this moment, I'm assuming the captaincy of Gotham Central.

Harvey Bullock

Well, well. Look who finally got what he always wanted. But what I'm wondering is... What did you have to do to get it?

Jim Gordon

All I did was my job. Same as you.

Harvey Bullock

[stands up, throws the form down on the desk and walks out] Nothing in Gotham is free, Captain Gordon. [pauses at the door] You just better hope you can pay up when your bill's due. And it'll come due.

Jim Gordon

We should go to the precinct.

Harvey Bullock

Hey, I'm not hiding like some freaking coward, alright? Four people are dead, because she wanted me!

Jim Gordon

Okay, then we'll work on it together. You can wear the badge.

Harvey Bullock

Get this straight, Jim! I ain't working for you now, or ever. I've got more contacts in the Narrows than any of you. I'm gonna find her alone... once I find my pants.

Harvey Bullock

You two! Don't come any closer!

Victor Zsasz

Bullock? Dude, I thought you stopped being a cop! Guess it didn't take, huh?

Harvey Bullock

Not so much.

Victor Zsasz

You remember Wendell, don't you?

[grins] Howdy.

Harvey Bullock

I don't know why you two are here, and I don't care! Walk away!

Victor Zsasz

See, I'm afraid we can't do that.

We're not leaving here without the Penguin.

Victor Zsasz

Harvey, do yourself a favor: Give us Penguin, and... live to get drunk another day. Hmm?

Harvey Bullock

As tempting as that sounds, no.

Harvey Bullock

Hey.

Jim Gordon

... Hey.

Harvey Bullock

Surprised you're alive?

Jim Gordon

Yeah... how?

Harvey Bullock

How do you think? Lee. She kept you alive 'til the medics got there. Even one-handed, she's a damn good doctor.

Jim Gordon

Sofia?

Harvey Bullock

In a coma. Amazing she's not dead.

Jim Gordon

... Harvey, when I get outta here, I'm gonna confess. My connection to Sofia, my role with the Pyg, all of it. I gotta come clean.

Harvey Bullock

No.

Jim Gordon

What do you mean?

Harvey Bullock

Who would benefit from that? You. You get to be the martyr, feel better about yourself. The GCPD loses its hero. No. You wanna pay your debt? You live with it. Just like I do.

Jim Gordon

...So, Sofia wins, after all.

Harvey Bullock

It's what the city needs.

Jervis Tetch

Listen to what I have to say...

Harvey Bullock

Oh, hell no! You are not hypnotizing me again!

Jim Gordon

That's one way to do it...

Jim Gordon

Jerome told his brother his plan was to turn Gotham mad. How the hell's he gonna do that, Harvey?

Harvey Bullock

I dunno. I thought it already was.

Harvey Bullock

Hey Jim, what gives?

Jim Gordon

The mayor and the police commissioner have been kidnapped by Jerome. We've got every cop in the city searching all the places Jerome's been seen the last week. Got something for me?

Harvey Bullock

Well, I was gonna say I just won 100 bucks in the scratch-off lottery at the liquor store and we can go the track with it, but we can do your thing first.

Harvey Bullock

What the Hell?!

Jeremiah Valeska

You might not recognize Jerome's followers, as I've given them something of a makeover. But I assure you, they're as loyal to me as they ever were to him. More so, as I accomplished something my brother never could: killing James Gordon.

Jeremiah! Jeremiah!

Harvey Bullock

You're a LIAR!

Jeremiah Valeska

Not...so... fast. [pulls out a detonator] I have bombs planted around this city, just like the one that... killed James Gordon.

Jeremiah! Jeremiah!

Jeremiah Valeska

All you need to know, is if I hit this detonator, Gotham's blown back to the Stone Age.

Harvey Bullock

And if I pull this trigger, your brains are blown through the back of your skull!

Jeremiah Valeska

Dead-man's switch. [walks toward Harvey] You're familiar. Another little something I took from my brother, except mine's a bit more advanced. You shoot me, my thumb loosens, and then...boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. No, you will do what I say.

Harvey Bullock

You're more sick than your brother.

Jeremiah Valeska

[chuckles] Don't compare me to that short-sighted psychopath. He just wanted to destroy things. Me, I'm a builder. I'm gonna create a new Gotham in my image. But... every artist needs a blank canvass, so... all of this has to go. I detonate the explosives in six hours; I want this city empty when I do.

Harvey Bullock

You need us to evacuate Gotham in six hours? That's impossible!

Jeremiah Valeska

Then everyone who dies screaming, who watches their loved ones crushed before them will have you to thank, Detective Bullock. Look, nobody has to die... well, except for these people. [he pulls out another detonator] I know seeing is believing, and I do want you to believe me, so...

Harvey Bullock

Oh, my God! [to his officers] Get officers on the scene, NOW! GO!!

Jeremiah Valeska

[removes his sunglasses, sternly] Six hours, Detective. [walks away] The clock is ticking!

Alfred Pennyworth

You know, I don't know why I brought him here. Shoulda killed him when I had the chance.

Jim Gordon

You did the right thing, Alfred.

Alfred Pennyworth

You say that. You didn't see what he did to Selina. Right, I'd better get to the hospital.

Jim Gordon

I'll stop by when I can. [Alfred leaves as Harvey comes in]

Harvey Bullock

Alfred. [to Jim] Couldn'ta put a cap in that psycho, done the world a favor?

Jim Gordon

Where are we?

Harvey Bullock

Bomb squads hit the last site on the map. After they disarm the bomb, they're gonna put it in the warehouse along with all the others. Also, the mayor called. He wants to lift the evacuation order.

Jim Gordon

No. Tell him we're not doing anything until we have all the bombs locked away. [Harvey nods]

Jeremiah Valeska

Pardon me, Jim?

Jim Gordon

[to his officers] Don't you all have work to do? [they move away from Jeremiah's cell] What is it?

Jeremiah Valeska

I'd like to press charges against Bruce Wayne's butler. I mean, just look at my face.

Jim Gordon

[sarcastically] I think you look great.

Jeremiah Valeska

And, I'd like to speak to Bruce again. We couldn't really talk before, what with his girlfriend bleeding out all over him.

Jim Gordon

...You tried to prove you're better than your brother. But I'm still here. The city's still here. You're a failure, Jeremiah. Enjoy Arkham. Your brother did. [turns to Harvey] Put him in the box, get him ready for transport.

Jeremiah Valeska

Bring me Bruce Wayne, and I'll tell you where the other bombs are.

Jim Gordon

... We have all your bombs.

Jeremiah Valeska

The maze bombs, yes. I mean... the other ones. [pause] Jim... as an engineer, you expect systems to fail, so you build in redundancies. [stands] And I am a very good engineer.

Jim Gordon

You're bluffing.

Jeremiah Valeska

Am I? How many lives are you willing to bet? [steps closer to the bars] You're right, you know; I did fail. I didn't yet understand the vision I was servicing, but... I do now. My eyes are open, as will yours be. [smiles, turns away] When you realize I'm not bluffing, bring me Bruce Wayne. And I'd like a coffee. Black, two sugars.

Harvey Bullock

What did the department of douchebaggery say?

Jim Gordon

Same as always. They're not sending any help, they're not letting anyone leave. I had to try.

Harvey Bullock

I swear to God, I'm never paying taxes again.

Why would anyone be a cop in a world like this?

Harvey Bullock

Well, the Halloween shop was all out of gas masks, so it was either this or "sexy nurse".
