The city's sick. Sick in a way I hadn't realized.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Hello, James. Old friend.
I should put a bullet in your head right now.
And you would have every right to do so. But you won't, Jim Gordon, because you're a good man. You may very well be the last good man in Gotham, and that's why I want to help you.
I don't want your help!
No? But you need it! That vile creature, Fish Mooney... Don Falcone... the police... not even your own partner trusts you! They will always hide the truth from you, but not me! Never me! You saved my life.
God knows I wish I hadn't.
Why will there be a war?
Well, as you know, war is just politics by other means. And isn't politics just money, talking?
Talking about what?
[smirking] Arkham, of course
Ed, what you got?
I have a paradox for you.
What?
Well, a paradox, Detective, is when you...
I know what a paradox is, smart-ass.
Bad dream.
Oh. Was I in it?
Not this time.

[to a victim he's about to burn alive] You know if it were up to me, this would be over quick, without all the fuss. My father used to say, "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." But it's not up to me. And my customer specifically asked me to send a message. And you know what they say: The customer is always right.
Where is he? Where is Potolsky?

Those hypocrites! Empty altruism will not erase what they've done. They must pay.
Who? Who must pay?
ISIsaac Steiner
WellZyn. Wayne Enterprises. Everyone will finally see them for what they are.
How? Where's Potolsky headed?
What's 'altruism?'
Could you pass me that blue folder over there?
Well, I suppose as hobbies go, this is a damn sight better than grilling yourself like a bloody pork chop. Still, not particularly healthy, is it?
Thank you.
Are you listening to me?
Y--yeah. yeah, for sure. I'll take a walk later. Thank you, Alfred.

WellZyn has no connection to this tragedy. We will vigorously pursue legal action against any individuals making assertions to the contrary.
Do you think we push a button, or does she just rewind automatically?
What's your name again?
Everyone here calls me Penguin, sir.
You don't like that name, huh? Yeah, well, you're wrong. It's a good name. Works for you.
Where the hell have you been?
Personal business.
You disappear in the middle of a case, you can't even tell me why?
That's what "personal" means.

Gotham's golden rule, Harvey: No heroes.
Barbara... This city... the law, the crime here, they're all... twisted up in each other like a maze. I came here to be a cop. This city needs something else.
I didn't realize this before. You're a hypnotist, right?
MDr. Marks
A hypnotherapist.
Oh, therapist. It's a funny word, therapist. Can either mean "therapist" or "the rapist."
