I love bartending. It involves two of my favorite things: drinking and ignoring people.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
It's like that tweaker we found last week.
[nods] The toxin entered the bloodstream through the cuts on the neck. If it is the same as the last victim, the toxin creates vines that feed off the victim's body, while also attacking the hippocampus like some...plant-based psychedelics.
So, it kills you and makes you hallucinate. Any witnesses?
The family's saying it was two women, redhead and a brunette. The redhead used some kind of hypnosis on them, and the brunette wore a leather whip.
[frowns] Selina Kyle? Murder's not really her thing.
The family says the redhead killed Rolland; she left with his briefcase.
Well, if his briefcase is missing, maybe this is related to his work at Wayne BioTech?
Doubtful. He oversaw standard projects; pharmaceuticals, pesticides...
...What?
[shakes his head] Nothing.
I'll track down Selina.
[answering machine] This is Bruce, leave a message.
Bruce, I know we haven't talked in a while, but someone just killed Rolland Charles. We may have a problem.
I'm gonna cure you of this attitude, Oswald. I'm gonna find the entertaining guy I know is inside of you, and when I do... oooh, we are gonna have so much fun together!
Ed. You must be here to gloat.
Correct.
And why not? I am in an insane asylum, being pummeled by lunatics... but at least I'm not a moron.
I may not be the man I once was, but I have many things you don't have. A purpose. Friends. You have neither of those, and I wanted you to see that.
No. I know you. There's something else going on. Something else brought you here.
There's nothing else. I wanted you to see how well I am doing, and I wanted to see how miserable you are. Mission accomplished.
Ed, I'm going to be out of here soon. And when I am, I am gonna wipe that smile off your face... preferably with a chainsaw.
What do you want? Why did you bring me here?! This is where my parents were killed!
No. This is where I was born.
Who are you?
I am the one you cannot escape. The one you cannot kill.
You're me... Please...
You're scared. You should be.
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.
We should go to the precinct.
Hey, I'm not hiding like some freaking coward, alright? Four people are dead, because she wanted me!
Okay, then we'll work on it together. You can wear the badge.
Get this straight, Jim! I ain't working for you now, or ever. I've got more contacts in the Narrows than any of you. I'm gonna find her alone... once I find my pants.
RThe Riddler
[whistles] You don't look good. Think you might be exceeding your recommended dosage. You experiencing... "Trembling Extremities?" Check. "Cognitive Imparement?" Definite check. Though, to be fair, how would you know? [laughs]
SHUT UP!!
RThe Riddler
Take all the pills you want, Ed. I'm only getting stronger. Soon, I'm gonna be out... and the FUN begins!
No! I won't let you. 'Cause I know what you'll do.
RThe Riddler
Oh, you mean, kill Lee? Yeah, I guess I will do that. And you can't stop me-
There are things that I can do!
RThe Riddler
Like what? You need to face it, pal. The only way to get rid of me, is to kill yourself.
...I guess you are smarter than me.
RThe Riddler
...You wouldn't-
I would. Oh, yeah.
[Bruce is giving a speech knowing that Alfred is in the audience]
My parents spent their lives helping people. I was so proud of them, and I always wanted them to be proud of me. Then I saw them get murdered. I survived because someone in my life kept me going. He's been everything to me: a teacher, a protecter... he's been a father to me. I hope... I hope he can see that, and give me another chance. Thank you.
[He leaves the stage to meet Alfred]
Thank you. That meant a great deal. But I can't help you, not until you accept who you really are.
I know who I am. I've seen what's inside me.
Darkness and anger. But beneath that is a heart that feels pain. Your heart, it's what makes you want to help other people. Your heart is your strength. Deny the darkness, and you deny that. But accepting that is something you must do on your own. You understand me?
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.
[sarcastically] I'll keep that in mind.
[She dodges Ivy's attack, flipping across the room and behind a table]
You're gonna have to fight me, Selina. You can't run forever.
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.
[scoffs] "Let me?" You're not gonna turn me into some geranium-type thing? That's so generous.
[she drops the vial on the floor and raises her boot over it]
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?
The only thing that I'm choking on, Ivy, is your insanity.
[she stomps on the vial, shattering it. After a pause, Ivy shrieks with rage, lunges forward and pins Selina against the table, grabbing her throat with her toxic nails]
You shouldn't have done that. Now, you're gonna die-
Ivy, look down.
[Ivy glances down and sees Selina's switchblade pressing into her stomach]
...Well.
Yeah.
So what happens now? We kill each other?
That's an option.
You always did think you were better than me-
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.
This isn't what I want.
[She drops her switchblade. Ivy briefly tightens her grip on Selina's neck, then pauses]
Don't get in my way again.
[She releases Selina and leaves]
You two! Don't come any closer!
Bullock? Dude, I thought you stopped being a cop! Guess it didn't take, huh?
Not so much.
You remember Wendell, don't you?
WWendell
[grins] Howdy.
I don't know why you two are here, and I don't care! Walk away!
[Victor and Wendell both draw their guns]
See, I'm afraid we can't do that.
WWendell
We're not leaving here without the Penguin.
Harvey, do yourself a favor: Give us Penguin, and... live to get drunk another day. Hmm?
As tempting as that sounds, no.
What?
You're just... different.
Different how?
Well, you were a complete douchebag to me at the club, and now you're... not.
Listen, Selina, about that night...
Oh, no, you're not gonna try to apologize to me, are you?
No, I just wanted to say...
Save it. [smiles, pats his cheek] Because you're probably gonna be a douchebag to me later anyway.
[smiles] Missed you, too.
So now, are you gonna return it? Selina, you said-
Can you do it?
That's really why you came to me. It wasn't about the money. [pause] You did not kill Rolland Charles.
... I was there, though. And what- what am I supposed to say? "I, I stole your jewelry, sorry."
Sometimes, that's enough.
Hey.
... Hey.
Surprised you're alive?
Yeah... how?
How do you think? Lee. She kept you alive 'til the medics got there. Even one-handed, she's a damn good doctor.
Sofia?
In a coma. Amazing she's not dead.
... Harvey, when I get outta here, I'm gonna confess. My connection to Sofia, my role with the Pyg, all of it. I gotta come clean.
No.
What do you mean?
Who would benefit from that? You. You get to be the martyr, feel better about yourself. The GCPD loses its hero. No. You wanna pay your debt? You live with it. Just like I do.
...So, Sofia wins, after all.
It's what the city needs.
