Sal Maroni quotes from Gotham

Sal Maroni

You see, Falcone is only the boss of Gotham because people believe he's the boss. That's what this Arkham thing is gonna change. People are gonna see that the emperor's got no clothes.

Sal Maroni

[looking at the video of a bishop being killed] See this, this is not good. [while making the sign of the cross] You can't go around killing priests. At least not in public.

Sal Maroni

Guys! Can you feel the buzz in the air? That's victory. Redemption. Power! When this old man dies, a new day begins. We will rule Gotham. We are building a dynasty. We will whip this town like a rented mule.

Sal Maroni

What's your name again?

Oswald Cobblepot

Everyone here calls me Penguin, sir.

Sal Maroni

You don't like that name, huh? Yeah, well, you're wrong. It's a good name. Works for you.

Sal Maroni

Um, I heard Vic Zasz tore up the G.C.P.D., tracking down Gordon. Did you catch him yet?

Carmine Falcone

We're working on it.

Sal Maroni

Well, good luck with that. There's nothing more dangerous than an honest man, huh?

Sal Maroni

Let this be a lesson to you, yes?

Oswald Cobblepot

Yes, sir.

Sal Maroni

You're a smart monkey... but you're a monkey. And I'm the zookeeper.

Fish Mooney

Hello, Sal.

Sal Maroni

Hey.

Fish Mooney

You sound surprised. Let me guess, your little friend Penguin told you I was dead.

Sal Maroni

As good as.

Fish Mooney

I'm just on vacation for awhile. I'm not gonna lie, I thought I was going to end up on top, but I got played. Turns out Penguin has been Falcone's man the whole time. They played us both for suckers.

Sal Maroni

Is that right?

Fish Mooney

Indeed. He told me himself right as I was about to gut him.

Sal Maroni

You understand why I might be skeptical, considering it's you telling me this.

Fish Mooney

Oh, wake up, dummy. You mean to tell me this whole time that you haven't suspected anything? That he hasn't made one slip that he's had to explain away? Or maybe even you wanted to believe his lies. But it still gnaws at you, the doubt.

Sal Maroni

Maybe a couple of times.

Fish Mooney

It's time for you to get your house in order, Salvatore. And remember who put you wise.
