You tell us what the hell is going on with Penguin, or we leave you with Zsasz.
You can't do that.
Bullock?
We can totally do that.

[after Bruce leaves the room] While it's just us girls, let me give you a little advice. You come around here again... it would be bad for you.
Who the hell are you?
SSSilver St. Cloud
I'm Bruce's friend. His only friend. And you're a piece of gutter trash. Let me ask you something: Would anyone miss you if one day you were just... gone? [Selina says nothing] I didn't think so.
I'm here for Gilzean. Anyone who leaves now, leaves alive. Anyone who stays, dies. You have 60 seconds to do the math.
I had high hopes for you. I thought you were prepared to make the hard choices, to do whatever it takes to rid Gotham of its monsters.
I am. I've just decided I'm gonna start with you.
I don't like this any more than you, but it is the only way.
No. This is you, Jim. This is all you. She sucked you right back in, didn't she? Because she still has a hold on you. Her sickness and yours feed off each other.
What sickness? I'm not sick.
You see an abyss and you run toward it. That's not healthy.
I'm just doing my job.
He's a psychopath, Barbara. He's using you. He's laughing at you. And when he's done with you, you're just a loose end. He'll kill you.
You really don't like this Galavan guy, do you?
Yeah, well, that's... not an offer, is it? That's bloody extortion.
Yeah, well, I can't help but consider it, Alfred.
Well, you shouldn't.
There's a fine line between extortion and negotiation.
Yes, there is, Master Bruce, but there's still a line.
You good?
Anything that makes Captain Barnes tight-ass nervous, I'm all for.
I need to know that one of you isn't going to get sucked into all these mind games that Miss Kean is going to be pulled out there.
Not to worry - no one's ever accused me of getting sucked into mind games.
You know what I like about those glasses? [shoots Kasich in the eye] They look like bullseyes.
I nearly crossed the line.
The line? Let me tell you something about the line. My third tour, we're stationed in the desert. We captured three insurgents, when this sandstorm kicks up. Zero visibility. Then we start taking fire. We're getting lit up. Suddenly, I'm alone. I come across one of our prisoners. He's a kid. His hands are zip-tied. But he figures what the hell, he's gonna use the sandstorm to try to escape; so I jump him. And I take my gun and I jam it in his mouth. I figured it was just a threat; show him who's boss, you know? Next thing I know... I just pulled the trigger. Blew his head off. That kid woke me up every night for years. Until I made my peace with him. See, I come to find out I'm just a man. And at the right moment, a man might do anything. Any man. There is no line. There's just the law. That's what separates us from the animals.
I need advice, Mr. Penguin. These murders... changed me. And like the butterfly, I've come to realize that I cannot be a caterpillar once again.
I'm disappointed you let a woman like that get in your head. If you're feeling upset, find yourself a nice librarian to torture. That always cheers you up.
My mother was a saint! The only person who truly cared about me, and now she's gone and I have nothing left!
A man who has nothing that he loves is a man who cannot be bargained. A man who cannot be betrayed. A man who answers to no one but himself. And that is the man that I see before me. A free man.
An assassin kills four cops, dares me to pull the trigger, and I don't. Explain that to me.
