TV show quotes
Back in the GCPD, when I told you there was so much I wish I could change, you asked what I meant.
Jim...
I would change everything that brought us to this point. I would ask you to leave Gotham with me the first moment I saw you, and I would make sure we had a life together. Maybe that'd be a good thing.
No, it wouldn't. I'm not going back to who I was, but what you said yesterday about part of you always caring for me - I feel the same way. [they kiss] Goodbye. Now, go save Gotham.
It's true. How did you two-
Find each other? I like to think it was you, Bruce. You brought us together. I trust everything went smoothly?
Like clockwork. Did your men retrieve my bombs?
They are en route to their positions as we speak. [leads Bruce forward to the window] From here, we can take in the full majesty of Gotham's destruction.
...You're both insane.
I know it's difficult to fathom, Bruce. But Jeremiah and I are doing this for your benefit.
How is destroying Gotham supposed to help me?
Because I had a vision, that out of this crucible of blood and fire, will rise the Dark Knight that your city needs. That I need.
To be honest, Bruce: Prophecies, visions? Not really my cup of tea. But our friend revealed something to me: that my twin obsessions, rebuilding Gotham and rebuilding you, are one and the same. You're the brother I never had... the one Jerome never could be. [puts his hand on Bruce's shoulder] We will create a legacy, in this city. Gotham falls... we rise. Together.
[to Tabitha, after shooting Butch dead] Did you think I forgot you murdered my mother? That I just... got over it? I have lived with that pain every day. I could have killed you anytime I wanted, but I believe in an eye for an eye. You took away the one person I loved, so I took away the one person you love. And you get to live with that.
[Enraged, Tabitha attacks Cobblepot, but he shoots her in the leg]
All of this - finding Strange, curing Butch - was all so you could kill him front of me?
Exactly. But don't worry: In time, when I feel you have suffered enough, I will kill you, too.
Not if I kill you first.
You're welcome to try.
Bruce. You're not supposed to be here.
Neither are you, or the dozen cops downstairs. But you stayed to fight for the city.
The gangs are carving up territory; we're gonna have to go block by block. I have no idea what we're gonna find. [gestures at the searchlight] A thing like this brings out whatever's lurking in the shadows.
...The light. You're basically daring whatever's out there to come after you.
Let them come. There are still good people out there. They need to know we're here, willing to fight.
... I remember the night we met. You told me "The world may seem dark...
"...But there is light."
What did the department of douchebaggery say?
Same as always. They're not sending any help, they're not letting anyone leave. I had to try.
I swear to God, I'm never paying taxes again.
Get what we came for. Kill whoever stands in your way. Show these fools the face of fear!
Doc says, the surgery's a success; my spine's not gonna turn to jelly. [sarcastically] I'm still never gonna be able to walk again, so... that's a bummer.
... There's limited resources here, but there's hope once we're on the mainland.
[Sarcastically] Gee... for a second there, I was worried.
Selina, I know you're in pain... but the medicine is on it's way.
[scoffs]...You know what's funny? Jeremiah shot me to get to you. After all the things I've done... what did me in was being your friend. [turns away from Bruce] I just wish Jeremiah had killed me.
[Bruce stares at her for a moment, then stands to leave.]
[quietly] Doctors can't help her. [Bruce stares at her] She needs the Witch.
[after killing Tabitha] Can we move past this? Say the whole "Butch-Tabitha" chapter is over?
I am gonna feed your guts to the rats, you beaky-nosed freak!
So... no.
I know you're all asking, "Why are we still here when our own government wont help us?" Simple. We're supposed to giving these people hope. Hope that if they're in danger, someone will come. We will come. Suit up!
Planning revenge?
Well, someone has to do something about that freak!
He has an army. It would be suicide.
Look around, Jim. We're all slowly dying. Just, some of us get to choose how.
Give us the kids you're holding captive and we'll leave.
I don't know what you're talking about.
What are the cattle prods for?
Fun.
Why would anyone be a cop in a world like this?
Well, the Halloween shop was all out of gas masks, so it was either this or "sexy nurse".
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?
Those men you killed were right. You are a witch. A murderous, callous witch.
Are you trying to bait me, boy?
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.
Wow. Your last bullet just for me, huh? Must be love. Not all square yet though. You're gonna help me do what we all know needs doing.
Oh, yeah? What's that?
Kill Penguin.
The Street Demonz! To what do I owe this honor?
You hit our stronghold and killed our men. And not just us - you hit the Lo Boyz and the Undead, too.
[sarcastically] Did I, now?
You tagged the scene with graffiti that said, "Penguin Was Here".
You dolt! If I wanted to start a gang war, you'd all be dead. I wouldn't leave a few and sign my name. Someone wanted you to attack me.
[pause] That's a good point. We didn't really think this through.
Well, there'll be plenty of time for thinking while my men are ripping out your fingernails! Chain him up!
