Alfred Pennyworth quotes from Gotham

Alfred Pennyworth

You really scared me, Master Bruce. If you die... who employs butlers anymore?

Alfred Pennyworth

Shall I get a broom then? Or would you rather continue crying over the shattered fragments of your young dreams?

Alfred Pennyworth

[to Bruce] Still looking for clues, sir? Or just breaking stuff?

Alfred Pennyworth

Turns out staring into the cold, dead eyes of the man who killed your parents doesn't bring the right amount of closure.

Bruce Wayne

I'm learning to conquer fear.

Jim Gordon

Fear doesn't need conquering. Fear tells you where the edge is. Fear is a good thing.

Alfred Pennyworth

And you think I haven't told him that, have you?

Alfred Pennyworth

Bruce's father gave me very firm orders was him and his missus to die. Now, I will raise the boy the way his father told me to raise him.

Jim Gordon

Which is how?

Alfred Pennyworth

Trust him to choose his own course. He is, after all, a Wayne.

Bruce Wayne

Bad dream.

Alfred Pennyworth

Oh. Was I in it?

Bruce Wayne

Not this time.

Bruce Wayne

Could you pass me that blue folder over there?

Alfred Pennyworth

Well, I suppose as hobbies go, this is a damn sight better than grilling yourself like a bloody pork chop. Still, not particularly healthy, is it?

Bruce Wayne

Thank you.

Alfred Pennyworth

Are you listening to me?

Bruce Wayne

Y--yeah. yeah, for sure. I'll take a walk later. Thank you, Alfred.

Alfred Pennyworth

Don't you miss your mates?

Bruce Wayne

Not really. I've always found them kind of childish.

Alfred Pennyworth

Well, that's what they're meant to be, aren't they? That's what they do. Don't you want to be like a normal kid?

Bruce Wayne

I'm not sure. Define "normal" and make a good case for it.

Alfred Pennyworth

You're going to bloody school. Now start walking.

Alfred Pennyworth

Don't you be scared.

Bruce Wayne

I'm not. I'm visualizing what I'm gonna do.

Alfred Pennyworth

'Cause if you don't want to do this, there's no shame in it.

Bruce Wayne

There would be immense shame in it.

What the hell are you doing here?

Bruce Wayne

We have unfinished business.

Listen, if you think you're gonna tell my parents-

Are you crazy?!

Bruce Wayne

[punches him again] Don't talk about my mother!

Alfred Pennyworth

Master Bruce! Point well made, I think. You all right, mate? Any broken bones?

He-he tried to kill me!

Alfred Pennyworth

That's right, he did. He tried to kill you. Just you remember that the next time you see him. And you remember that I let him try.

Bruce Wayne

Alfred? Can you teach me how to fight?

Alfred Pennyworth

Yes, Master Bruce. Yes, I can.

Bruce Wayne

There's plenty to eat in the kitchen. Alfred will be happy to fix you some...

Alfred Pennyworth

No, he won't be, will he? Because it's not a bloody hotel!

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.

Bruce Wayne

Well, Alfred... we can only stay if you think you can handle it.

Alfred Pennyworth

If I can handle it? Mate, this place is positively cushy compared to some of the place I've slept at. Cup of tea, you cheeky monkey?
