Edward Nygma quotes from Gotham

Mr. Cobblepot, you've freed me! How can I ever repay you...?

Oswald Cobblepot

Why did you do that? He wasn't the threat, the dummy was... [trails off as he realizes what he is saying]

Edward Nygma

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.

Oswald Cobblepot

[smiles] Perhaps, Edward, we really are meant for each other.

Oswald Cobblepot

Congratulations! Go to the clinic, go have your baby...

Barbara Kean

What, so you two can hightail it off this rock without me? I don't think so.

Oswald Cobblepot

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...

Barbara Kean

I can do it! I'm not that delicate! Remember that, if you even think about double-crossing me.

Edward Nygma

Very kind of you to offer to drive her.

Oswald Cobblepot

I knew she would never accept my help.

Edward Nygma

Should I start the engine?

Oswald Cobblepot

One less passenger to worry about.

Edward Nygma

No, two, actually.

Oswald Cobblepot

[laughs] You are so right!

Edward Nygma

Lee.

Leslie Thompkins

Ed.

Edward Nygma

Don't worry, I'm not here for you... but, for the record, you stabbed me first.

Edward Nygma

I should have known you would try to screw us over.

Barbara Kean

You only noticed because you tried to screw me over first!

Edward Nygma

Second, technically.

Oswald Cobblepot

[draws a gun] Hand over the part, now.

Leslie Thompkins

[stepping in front of Barbara] Don't point that at the baby!

Oswald Cobblepot

...What? [quickly lowers the gun] I did not! I was merely trying to make a general threatening gesture with a firearm...

Edward Nygma

But you did, though, you pointed the gun at the baby...

Oswald Cobblepot

All right, fine, I'M SORRY! Now give us what we want!

Barbara Kean

[in labor] Oh, you think I'm stupid enough to have the part on me? It's hidden away somewhere safe! And if you think you can torture me into telling you where, there is literally nothing more painful than what I am going through right now!

Edward Nygma

Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will let us always meet. What am I?

Oswald Cobblepot

A pregnant lady with a gun?

Edward Nygma

Death. But close enough.

Oswald Cobblepot

How long have you had that?

Edward Nygma

Long enough to know she'd never let it out of her sight.

Oswald Cobblepot

[starts to laugh, then] And you stuck around long enough to risk both of our lives to save Barbara's?! [realizes] Or was it to protect Lee?

Edward Nygma

Do you want me to answer that, or do you want to sail away from here?

Oswald Cobblepot

Bon voyage.

Oswald Cobblepot

We saved this city from certain damnation, but will we receive any thanks for our loyalty, for our selfless bravery? Of course not!

Edward Nygma

I don't want their thanks or their respect. You know what I felt, standing shoulder to shoulder with those people out there? Nothing. I feel absolutely nothing for those drab, boring people. That was me, once. Minimum wage at a thankless job at the GCPD. "Yes, sir." "No, sir." "Thank you so much, sir." Picking up scraps from my master's floor. Shy, awkward, pathetic Ed. Common criminals. Never again! I've shown this city who I truly am once before, and I'll do it again! They will bow to the Riddler, and they won't get up until I permit them to!

Oswald Cobblepot

You're right. Our accomplishments erased. Our brilliant minds underrated. If they had let me run this city the way I wanted to, it would not be in ruins now. I had the men, the money, the guns...

Edward Nygma

Gordon took them. Why? Because he still sees you as Fish Mooney's umbrella boy, and he always will. I only came back to help him save the city so I could take it myself!

Oswald Cobblepot

We would be strong together. No one could stop us.

Edward Nygma

Perhaps.

Oswald Cobblepot

Let's make a pact, here and now. We will take what we want from who we want, and we will suffer no fools.

Edward Nygma

Shall we shake on that?

Oswald Cobblepot

Please, we're brothers. A hug.

Edward Nygma

A hug it is.

Oswald Cobblepot

Life begins anew.

Edward Nygma

Shall we get to work?

Oswald Cobblepot

I did not spend 10 years in Blackgate Prison to give control of my city to a man dressed like a bat!

Edward Nygma

Yes!

Oswald Cobblepot

We have to find out who he is and show him that this is our city!

Edward Nygma

Agreed!

Oswald Cobblepot

...Tomorrow.

Edward Nygma

Tomorrow.
