Ivy Pepper quotes from Gotham

I know you... all of you. And I'm pretty sure I hate you.

Plants love us. They give us food, shelter, the very air we breathe. And what do we do in return? We kill them, because that's our nature. We cause pain. Everyone I've known has only hurt or betrayed me. Maybe I've always known in my heart what I needed to do, but I finally have the power to do so. I'm giving your city back to the plants, starting with the people who hurt me. So, if that's you... your time is coming.

[to Selina] You always did think you were better than me. But without my plants, you never would have left your bed. I made you strong again. Think about that while my friend is cutting out your heart.

Bruce Wayne

I know you. You're Mario Pepper's daughter.

Yes. Who are you?

Bruce Wayne

I'm Bruce Wayne.

[bitter] Yes, you are. Billionaire Bruce Wayne.

Selina Kyle

Stay cool, now, Ivy…

I am cool! Why would you tell me to stay cool? Why are you telling me what to do?

Selina Kyle

I'm not. I'm just saying I don't want you to get mad at him. He's a friend.

Why would I get mad at him? It's not his fault. [gives Bruce an accusing look] Is it? Did you kill my father? Did you make my mother cut her wrists?

Bruce Wayne

[stunned] No.

Somebody did. Somebody did, but not him. What are you doing? Are you doing okay?

Bruce Wayne

I'm okay. And you?

[agitated] I'm doing okay. How do I look?

Bruce Wayne

[a little stunned] You look good.

Selina Kyle

[to Ivy] Have you seen Clyde the fence around?

Yeah, he's working out of the Factory on the Narrows. [looks to Bruce] He's cute, isn't he?

Selina Kyle

Yes, he is. ptakes Bruce by the arm and starts leaving] Uh, thanks, Ivy, good to see you. Uh... we got to go run and see Clyde.

Oh. Okay, fine. Bye, then.

Selina Kyle

Keep. Moving.

Bruce Wayne

She's just a little girl. Why are you so scared of her? [looks back to Ivy]

Selina Kyle

[alarmed] Because she's scary! Don't look back!

Oh my God, you guys are a couple?

Bruce Wayne

Yes.

Selina Kyle

No.

Bruce Wayne

Wait... we're not?

Selina Kyle

I'm not talking about this right now!

Raise your right hand. Do you swear to be loyal and true to Penguin?

Gabe

No.

Ouch.

Oswald Cobblepot

I don't understand. Why can't he be loyal?

Go ahead, answer.

Gabe

I never was. I only followed you out of fear. We all did.

Oswald Cobblepot

Actually, I can live with that. Fear and respect - Management 101.

Gabe

No one ever respected you. We always saw you for what you are: a tiny freak who used to hold an umbrella. Nothing more.

Oswald Cobblepot

A freak? A freak? [grabs a trowel and stabs Gabe repeatedly] Yes, a freak! A FREAK, A FREAK, A FREAK!

One scratch is all it takes, Selina; and there's no antidote this time. And there's no more jumping across rooftops for little, dead Selina.

Selina Kyle

[sarcastically] I'll keep that in mind.

You're gonna have to fight me, Selina. You can't run forever.

Selina Kyle

I wasn't running. I was getting this. [she holds up the vial of Lazarus Water] This is what you're gonna use, to make all your little plants? So, I guess it's safe to say that I shouldn't drop it-

Stop, Selina. I will let you leave.

Selina Kyle

[scoffs] "Let me?" You're not gonna turn me into some geranium-type thing? That's so generous.

NO!! [pause] ... How can you side with them? All the people who hurt us. You think they're innocent... they're guilty. [she starts advancing on Selina] Every person in this city... they spew out poison! How are you not choking on it?

Selina Kyle

The only thing that I'm choking on, Ivy, is your insanity.

You shouldn't have done that. Now, you're gonna die-

Selina Kyle

Ivy, look down.

...Well.

Selina Kyle

Yeah.

So what happens now? We kill each other?

Selina Kyle

That's an option.

You always did think you were better than me-

Selina Kyle

That's not true. I was your friend. We were friends, Ivy, you said so yourself.

That was a long time ago. I'm a different person now.

Selina Kyle

This isn't what I want.

Don't get in my way again.

You know, I wasn't lying when I said this park is changing. I'm feeding the Earth with these wretched creatures. It consumes them, and then it flourishes. I think I shall plant your body in the ground, Bruce. What will grow from you, I wonder?

Bruce Wayne

Those men you killed were right. You are a witch. A murderous, callous witch.

Are you trying to bait me, boy?

Bruce Wayne

I wouldn't waste my breath. I can see there's no good left in you. If you were trying to make this park flourish, it would be full of beauty and color. Instead, it smells of death.

It's a work in progress.
