Oswald. Come in.
Still have those eyes in the back of your head, Jim.
No, you just have a remarkably recognizable odor. Part dandy, part snake. After all these years, it hasn't changed. Drink?
No thank you. It dulls the senses.
That's what I was going for. Surprised you're still here. Would have thought you'd be long gone by now. That storm you warned me about for so long? It's finally here.
We've shared some turbulent times, you and I.
That we have.
When you spared my life on the pier that day and banished me from Gotham, it was the most lost I've ever been. Because I was away from the city, you see. It's part of me. You know what I'm talking about, because it's part of you, too. Sure, I could escape - with money, I might add - but then what? Stand on the shores of the mainland and watch the army burn it to the ground? Then watch tasteless industrialists and vapid politicians rebuild it? No. My life is etched on the walls of every alley and dirty warehouse here. My blood lives in its broken concrete. I'm staying to fight for my legacy!
