Barbara Kean

So that's it. We're shutting up shop. So long, farewell, toodle-ooo.

Selina Kyle

I can't believe this!

[sour] I can.

Barbara Kean

All this was so I could be Ra's' eyes and ears in Gotham. He was bankrolling us, but now he's gone, so I'm pulling the plug. Help yourself to whatever.

So, all of this - being partners, building something together - all lies.

Barbara Kean

A sales pitch. I couldn't do it alone.

Selina Kyle

We can still spy on the jerks who come in here and get intel on jobs. We can make it work.

Barbara Kean

What, and the three of us stay together like a plucky little family? Well, how about a little parting lesson from Big Sis: In this life, you're on your own. Always.

Butch! It's Butch! You know what this means?

Barbara Kean

Yeah. You owe me an apology for electrocuting me.

Bridgit Pike

Boss gave you a deadline. You missed it.

Barbara Kean

So what? We got Ed. We are literally champions here.

Bridgit Pike

[pointing her flamethrower] What you are is four courses of barbecue. Crispy skin.

Barbara Kean

So. Penguin's out building support amongst the gangs. Pretty soon every criminal in Gotham is going to go after us.

Sofia Falcone

He's building support because we made him look weak. We kill him, and all the gangs will support me. I'm still a Falcone.

Barbara Kean

Yeah, you mentioned that about a billion times.

Barbara Kean

You know, I am so proud that I have a great relationship with all my exes.

Jim Gordon

Leave me off that list.

RSRa's al-Ghul

[flashback] What a vital, poisonous little mind you have. Everybody hates you for it, don't they?

Barbara Kean

Yes. Everybody hates me. I don't know why.

RSRa's al-Ghul

I understand that feeling very well, Barbara. You are just the one I've been looking for. I have a present for you. But it's a secret. You shall become the Demon's Head. The League of Shadows shall be yours to command. An army of assassins. The world is weak, Barbara, and you are strong. Use the League to make the world more like you.

Barbara Kean

I have finally found my true purpose. I'm not going to let your jealousy distract me. [to her henchwomen] Ladies, escort Miss Galavan to the street.

I'll show myself out.

Barbara Kean

Actually, I think it's time my loyal servants taught you some manners.

Why don't you do it?

Barbara Kean

Because I am the one true heir to an immortal god's ancient dynasty, and I don't dirty my fingers with the likes of you anymore.

$50,000,000? That's what you want?

...It's a nice, round number.

I don't quite have that on me, right now.

You gave the mayor six hours to evacuate Gotham. An impossible task. Let him buy another hour. He will save thousands of lives... $50,000,000 will seem cheap.

I see. I play the villain, you get away Scot-free and rich. [Penguin shrugs and nods] I get you the money, you give me back my core relay.

Barbara Kean

That is usually how a handoff works, yeah.

... You drive a hard bargain, but I'll see what I can do.

Barbara Kean

Just like that? After knowing your brother, I expected something more...

Insane? Oh, I'm nothing if not sane. And reasonable. Two things my brother never valued; that's why I'll be successful where he failed. Well, that and being... vastly more intelligent. Now, to see about your money. [dials his phone] This is Jeremiah Valeska. I'd like to speak to the mayor, I have additional demands. Yes, really. $50,000,000, unmarked bills. I'll tell you the location...

[he walks away]

We're not just gonna hand this thing over and let him destroy Gotham, are we?

Of course not! Once we get the money, we kill Jeremiah and his people, give the core relay to the police, split the $50,000,000 and are hailed as the heroes of Gotham!

... And we cure Butch.

[nodding impatiently] And that! Certainly.

Would you believe it? They put me on hold. [sets down his phone] Well, there's always Plan #2.

[He raises an RPG to his shoulder]

Barbara Kean

GET DOWN!

WAIT!

[Everyone ducks as Jeremiah fires at Jongleur and the core relay, blowing them both up]

Are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!

[Offended] Why do you keep insisting I'm insane?! What's insane about having a backup plan, something Jongleur never knew about? And just so you know, this building is within the blast radius, and because of your interference, I'm gonna detonate the bombs as soon as I'm far enough away to observe the destruction in peace.

Barbara Kean

[Alarmed] No, you promised the city six hours!

[Irritated] And whose fault is it that I changed my mind? [to one of his followers] Tell our men to re-wire the bombs to work in direct sequence. And, the rest of you... kill these idiots.

[He ducks out as a firefight ensues]

[after killing Tabitha] Can we move past this? Say the whole "Butch-Tabitha" chapter is over?

Barbara Kean

I am gonna feed your guts to the rats, you beaky-nosed freak!

So... no.
