You people have pills for everything! Insomnia. Anxiety. You have to have something for me!
PPharmacist
I don't know. A pill to reverse the effects of having your brain frozen and unfrozen? That's kind of specific.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Is it so hard to believe that someone would want to do something nice for you?
There was only one person who did things for me without wanting something in return, and that was my mother.
Then I envy you. My father never did anything for anyone unless it benefitted him. Eventually, it drove away everyone who loved him.
[visibly upset] Go. I'll decide what to do with you later.
Oswald, I only want to help you.
Oh, you wanna help? Try leaving!
[He sits and massages his leg]
Your foot...
It's just the weather.
[She kneels beside him and reaches for his foot]
What are you doing? Don't!
It's okay. I won't judge.
[She tenderly massages his foot]
When I was a child I broke my ankle while playing with my cousins. I was desperate, crying in pain. My father told me to put ice on it, toughen up, stop with the tears. My mother went with me to the hospital, and on the way she told me that cold actually increases the pain. What's needed is warmth.
RSRa's al-Ghul
Every moment of my life is agony. End my suffering.
Whatever your curse is, you deserve it for what you've done!
RSRa's al-Ghul
You're angry, Bruce. I understand. But unless you strike me down with that blade, you will never be free.
No! I won't!
RSRa's al-Ghul
Then allow me to tell you what will happen if you don't kill me. I will disappear, and let you live your life. You will follow the path of light, grow into a fine man. Become a husband. A father. There may be a day where you forget I ever existed. But then I will return, and I will kill everyone you love. Just as you watched your parents die, just as you watched me slice your friend's throat, I will slaughter your wife and children before your very eyes, and there will be nothing you can do about it!
[Bruce stabs him with the dagger]
Die!
Are you going to arrest me?
For what?
...For murder.
I don't know what I just saw in there... but as far as I'm concerned, Ra's al Ghul's men broke into Blackgate and he escaped.
... I betrayed myself, and my parents' memory. I took a life. I did exactly what Ra's said I would.
Just because you know you're capable of doing something, doesn't mean it has to happen again. Bruce, you and I have known each other a long time... since the night your parents were murdered. Now, you may not feel like you're that kid anymore, but I know that you are. One who believes in doing good, in fighting for what's right... who will do anything, to keep the people he loves safe. [claps Bruce on the shoulder] Nothing that happened today, changes that.
Doctor Leslie Thompkins. Wow.
I heard a rumor you were frozen. I should have known it was too good to be true.
You're not still mad at me, are you?
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.
Victor, we will be having a chat with Miss Falcone.
Just so we're clear, is this a "chat" chat, or a "shovel in the trunk" kind of chat?
Get the shovel.
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?
So, I'm guessing that that means something to you, which makes you vulnerable to... [suddenly confused] to, um...
Blackmail? Threats?
Yes! Yes! Both of those!
All right, let's hear it. What's your brilliant scheme?
What?
You said you were going to force me to help you. So, what is your threat? Hit me.
If you don't help me, I am going to... do... something to that clinic!
[bursts out laughing] Oh my God, you really aren't smart!
Your father's blood really does flow through your veins. Luckily, not for long.
Hey.
Hey.
You gave me quite the scare, back there. How you feeling?
...I've had better days.
The doc says you're gonna be OK.
Well, that shows what he knows. Pyg? [Gordon shakes his head] Son of a bitch. He could've killed me, but he cut me just deep enough to make you choose: go after him, or save my worthless hide.
It wasn't a choice.
Either way, I owe you.
So pay it back, now. Tell me the truth: how long you been taking money from Penguin? [Harvey looks away] You knew Metzke was the bag-man; you knew Nakajima was dirty. Then Pyg... says all this stuff, about you deserving to be killed. [coldly] I don't know why I didn't see it before; maybe I didn't want to. I just need to know, how long. We talkin' years?
[tearfully] No. Just since this license crap started. The commissioner ordered us to comply. Then, Metzke started showing up with these envelopes, stuffed with cash. I didn't do nothing I wouldn'ta done anyway. [Gordon nods, looks away] You gotta understand, Jim, the bills I got...the debts I got-
It stops. It stops, right now. [leaves]
So that's it. We're shutting up shop. So long, farewell, toodle-ooo.
I can't believe this!
[sour] I can.
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.
A sales pitch. I couldn't do it alone.
We can still spy on the jerks who come in here and get intel on jobs. We can make it work.
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.
So, the insane serial killer who hates cops warned you to save your life... because, why, now?
Because I'm against dirty cops!
Oh, except all the times you are one.
Congratulations, Jim. You're a hero. And I'm just the cop who shot a cop.
I'm gonna find you.
PProfessor Pyg
Oh, I hope you do. Because I want to thank you in the flesh, flesh, flesh. What you said about the rot in Gotham, high to low - so concisely phrased - well, it gave me an idea. The next step in my plot. It's a saga. It's an epic. It's a spectacle. And you're my muse, Jimmy Gordon. I'll see you soon.
Butch! It's Butch! You know what this means?
Yeah. You owe me an apology for electrocuting me.
Boss gave you a deadline. You missed it.
So what? We got Ed. We are literally champions here.
[pointing her flamethrower] What you are is four courses of barbecue. Crispy skin.
