Gotham · Season 1
I want to find Jeremiah just as much as you do, but even if we find him, he's had months to fortify himself. We can't go after him alone.
You scared, Bruce?
Of course I'm scared. Jeremiah shot you to get to me. He almost killed you. I won't lose you.
I'm not yours to lose.
I'm not helping you, Jim. You are the reason I'm in this predicament. You have taken everything from me.
Keep your voice down!
I kept people safe. I protected them from chaos. They should have loved me. Instead, they came here to this pigsty to be covered with fleas and filth. Why? What makes this place so special?
Well, for one thing, it's far away from you.
What's the matter? Don't you wanna meet Jeremiah?
I do. I'm just not willing to play your little psychotic game.
[chuckles] But, baby... It's sooo fun.
[sarcastically] If it's so fun... why don't you play?
Don't you get it? I have. [grins, reveals a bullet wound at the top of her neck] The bullet's still inside... rattlin' around this old noggin of mine. Ping. Ping. Ping. Boy, do I feel it when the nights get cold.
[She holds a gun to her own head and pulls the trigger on empty several times, laughing manically]
You're insane.
No, I was willing to look death in the face. To allow the old me to die. It's the gift Jeremiah's brother Jerome left for him, and the gift he wants for all his followers. Don't you wanna experience this gift for yourself? [points the gun at Selina] I know I want you to... Selina.
[startled] You know me.
There isn't a single part of Bruce Wayne's life we don't know about. His joys, his disappointments, his... desires. But, just like Bruce wasn't ready to embrace his true self... looks like you aren't, either.
May-be. [steps closer] But... one thing Jeremiah did teach me? [hisses] Is that I... hate...having a gun pointed at my face.
[She disarms Ecco and they fight]
[sneers] Oh, Puddin'... aren't you delicious!
[They continue fighting. Ecco retrieves the gun and pulls the trigger until it fires, but Selina catches her arm, then throws her to the ground and grabs the gun.]
Don't... call me Puddin'! [She drags Ecco up and holds the gun to her head.]
[grins] There you go, Selina. I knew you had it in you! All it took was a little kick in the pants!
Do you really think I could have killed all those people?
[pause] I don't know.
I guess I deserved that.
[through a bullhorn] To the vile miscreant who murdered those innocent Havenites, you have nowhere to run!
There goes the element of surprise.
We will root you out like the vermin you are! Two forces, united in one purpose-!
[A bullet knocks the bullhorn out of his henchman's hand. Everyone scrambles for cover.]
Elevated position, back to the sun...
Looks like we found our guy, huh?
We're sitting ducks out here.
And one penguin. Hey, Oswald, why don't you crawl out there, grab that bullhorn and tell him to come down quietly?
[Oswald scoffs sarcastically.]
I did not make that building go boom, Jim.
[interjecting] Oh, please! You gave up any shred of honor long ago! Why should we believe a snake like you?
Because I would never take credit for someone else's work.
Oh, no, you would just betray anyone and everyone for the right price!
Is this about Sofia Falcone? Because you should really move past that. It's not healthy.
OK, recruits, let's do like my daddy did before my sixth birthday and move out!
You guys got any canned peaches? Man, I'd give an arm and a leg for some of those right now. Not mine. Somebody else's.
It's only fair you die slow and painful, to pay for JoJo!
Who's JoJo?
JoJo was in Haven when you blew it up. [shows him a picture of a dog]
[laughs] This is a joke, right? 300 people died in Haven!
[scoffs] We don't care about people! [tearing up] Look at how happy JoJo was. He always had a smile on his face.
You anthropomorphizing nincompoop! Dogs can't smile!
Hello, Oswald. We have a great deal to talk about. But first: did you name your dog after me?
Selina, I know you, and this isn't you.
[scoffs] You know me?
Yes, maybe better than you know yourself.
Let me tell you something. That night when your parents were murdered, I was in that alley on the fire escape. And I watched that guy shoot your father, and shoot your mother... and through it all, I did nothing. [crying] I didn't call for help, I didn't scream for the guy to stop...
It wasn't your fault. You were just a scared kid.
[abruptly stops crying] No. You were the scared kid. We're not the same, Bruce. I didn't do anything because I wasn't willing to risk my neck for somebody else. Because I didn't care! That's who I was, and that's who I am.
I am gonna cut your face into a jigsaw puzzle and watch you try to put it back together again.
So the government is behind Haven and the supply helicopter. [gestures to Nygma] And they did it with a chip in this one's head.
Is that really the craziest thing you've ever heard, Barbara?
[Fox is operating on Nygma's brain]
OW! Would you be careful?!
If you stop moving, this will go a lot faster.
Well, if you'd be more careful, I wouldn't potato all the longlegs in the hidden spoon!
[Alfred and Barbara exchange confused glances]
What just happened?
I believe the chip is installed against his speech center.
[chuckles] Do it again.
The human brain is not a plaything, Miss Kean.
Please don't habituate the curtain rod!
This is my workshop, where I make my boom-booms. Anything out there, boom-boom, then more boom, and soon, the whole room...
Boom-boom, we get it!
