Jervis Tetch quotes from Gotham

Jervis Tetch

[while hypnotizing a victim] Lock sense away, let loose the rascal. When I say it is so, your home is my castle.

Jervis Tetch

Who am I? I haunt your dreams like a ghost, for I know what scares you most. So you run, run, as fast as you can. There's no escape from the magic man.

Jervis Tetch

Now, introductions. Leslie Thompkins, meet Valerie Vale. You have one very important thing in common: You're two halves of Jim Gordon's heart.

Jervis Tetch

I know of whom you speak, oh yes indeed! I stabbed him, and pricked him, and caused him to bleed. But nothing you can say, no words you might possess, can pry from me the smallest guess. For this game is my game, I say when it's done - and right now I'm having too much fun!

Jervis Tetch

Nothing! Nothing! I'll tell you naught. His name shall be neither spoken nor taught. He'll cut and he'll crush, and the blood will run thick. Though from healer to killer is no easy trick.

Jervis Tetch

Almost magic hour, Gothamites. Time to climb to the tippy-top of every tower, and the clock strikes twelve, throw yourselves pell mell onto your heads!

Jim Gordon

This is about your sister, isn't it? In your addled brain, you blame me for what happened to her.

Jervis Tetch

Don't you talk about her!

Jim Gordon

I got to know her, Jervis. She was a good person - that's why she hated you. Why she died trying to get away from you. You want revenge, kill yourself.

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.

Jerome Valeska

When I say three hairs past a freckle, gentlemen, I do not mean five hairs past. Let's do better next time, hmm?

Jervis Tetch

Mind both P's and Q's, Valeska. We're not your militia, to be becked and called.

I dread to think of where you'd be without us.

Jervis Tetch

Boys! Boys, um, let's not squabble too early in our partnership. There'll be plenty of time to stab each other in the backs later, but for now, stick to Jerome's plan and everyone will get what they want.

An earthly kingdom of terror.

Jervis Tetch

A piece of Gotham Pie, both sky and high!

Jerome Valeska

That's the spirit, boys! Think big... and kinky. [glances at Tortuga] And lose the weirdo; she's giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Jervis Tetch

Your work is done, my dear. Your race all run.

Glad to be of help. [she hands Jerome her keys and slits her own throat]

Jerome Valeska

Much better. Now, to free the rest of our cronies and blow this popstand.

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

You know, I never figured you for Jeremiah's errand boy.

Jervis Tetch

Oh Captain, no errands do I run. This is simply a way for me to have some fun.

Leslie Thompkins

Tell yourself that. Take away your games and your rhymes, and what are you but a second-rater with a really silly hat?

Jervis Tetch

Shut up!

Jervis Tetch

Beautiful! [to Leslie] Lee Thompkins, you intrigue me so. First you were a doctor, then the Narrows' queen. Tell me, please do, are you running from your past when you become someone new?
