Leslie Thompkins quotes from Gotham

Selina Kyle

You're cute, for a doctor.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Thanks. You're cute, for a gangster.

Jim Gordon

I don't like this any more than you, but it is the only way.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

No. This is you, Jim. This is all you. She sucked you right back in, didn't she? Because she still has a hold on you. Her sickness and yours feed off each other.

Jim Gordon

What sickness? I'm not sick.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You see an abyss and you run toward it. That's not healthy.

Jim Gordon

I'm just doing my job.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You keep trying to kill yourself. Did I have you all wrong? Are you just crazy?

Jim Gordon

Of course not.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You're on the run from the law. You want to attack the mayor with the help of a depraved sociopath. That's not crazy?

Oswald Cobblepot

[offended] I can hear you.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Shh. Don't speak.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You were violently abducted. You nearly died. You must have been very scared. It's normal to feel trauma. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Bruce Wayne

I wasn't scared.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

No? What did you feel?

Bruce Wayne

I felt alive. Intensely alive. Do you think I'm abnormal?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Certainly unusual, if you're being honest.

Bruce Wayne

I'm always honest.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You and Jim are made for each other.

Valerie Vale

Thanks.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

It's not a compliment.

Jim Gordon

I love you. I love you. I never stopped. I should have come to see you as soon as I got out of prison, but I couldn't. I was ashamed. I felt I had to set things right. But I did finally come, Lee. I saw you in the window with him. You were smiling. You looked happy. I couldn't bring myself to come in. I've regretted it every day since. Please, don't marry him.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

After the wedding, Mario and I are leaving Gotham. I'll never see you again.

Jim Gordon

Lee...

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

[crying] Damn you for telling me this now! You come in here with these crazy accusations, and when I don't believe you, you pull this? How dare you! [she slaps him]

Jim Gordon

Don't you see? He wants you to hate me.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Well, he succeeded.

Capt. Nathaniel Barnes

You want to know about you husband. Was he a diseased maniac? Would he have killed you? Well, I can tell you this: I've never felt better in my life. Clearer. Stronger. More focused. Even now, I can feel it coursing through my veins, restoring my body.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

So Mario could have lived a normal life with it. It would have given us time to find a cure. Jim didn't didn't have to kill him.

Capt. Nathaniel Barnes

Cure? This virus isn't the disease, it's the antidote! It's the best thing that ever happened to me. I don't need a cure. The murderers, thieves, rapists... James Gordon is one of them. When I get out of here - and trust me, I will - he'll be the first that I judge. He, and all the other human garbage that plague this city. All will be tried, convicted and executed! I will purge Gotham, and the innocents will thank me! Their savior! Their executioner!

Jim Gordon

If you wanna blame me for Mario's death, that's fine. I can live with that knowing you're okay. But don't let your hatred of me turn you into something you're not.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Or what, Jim? If I change too much, you're gonna put two in my heart just like you did to Mario?

Jim Gordon

I'll talk to Harvey. You came back to the job too soon. You need some time off.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Yeah, you do that. And I'll tell the Commissioner that I saw the acting captain punch a suspect in the face. [pause] Don't ever touch me again or tell me what to do.

Jerome Valeska

Wow, that is quite a story. Now, I know I've been dead, but doesn't that sound a little crazy to you?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Hey, maybe you're dreaming. Try shooting yourself.

Jim Gordon

Listen to me - you need to drop this. You're going to get yourself hurt.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You think I care what happens to me? I am sick of watching you destroy people's lives and getting away with it. When I find out what you did, I am gonna make sure you pay for it, and I am gonna enjoy it.

Jervis Tetch

Twinkle, twinkle, pretty doctor/How I wish I could unlock her/Here in Arkham, what a wonder/Too bad her husband's six feet under.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Clever.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Don't you want to see what the virus brought out in me, Jim? What it's shown me?

Jim Gordon

No.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

My love for you. Pretty obvious when you think about. Perfect Dr. Lee Thompkins. Why would she be drawn to a man with so much darkness, so an appetite for violence? Unless something inside her liked it? Craved it? Needed it?

Jim Gordon

It's not true.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

The virus has shown me how to give in to my deepest desires, and I will no longer deny myself what I really want.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Where's Babs?

Butch Gilzean

What do you want with her?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

That's none of your business, errand boy.

Butch Gilzean

What did you call me?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Sorry. You're not an errand boy. You're more of a shoeshine boy. Did she give you a little stand in front, cute little hat? That's more your speed.

Edward Nygma

Doctor Leslie Thompkins. Wow.

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

I heard a rumor you were frozen. I should have known it was too good to be true.

Edward Nygma

You're not still mad at me, are you?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Mad at you for what? Killing Kristin Kringle? Or framing Jim for murder so he'd be in prison when I lost our child? [deadpan] I'm over all that. Let's be friends.

Edward Nygma

I know about your clinic. I'm guessing that Cherry lets you have that as long as you work these fights. That's your deal, right?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

So?

Edward Nygma

So, I'm guessing that that means something to you, which makes you vulnerable to... [suddenly confused] to, um...

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

Blackmail? Threats?

Edward Nygma

Yes! Yes! Both of those!

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

All right, let's hear it. What's your brilliant scheme?

Edward Nygma

What?

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

You said you were going to force me to help you. So, what is your threat? Hit me.

Edward Nygma

If you don't help me, I am going to... do... something to that clinic!

Dr. Leslie Thompkins

[bursts out laughing] Oh my God, you really aren't smart!
