Gotham, season 3

Harvey Bullock: How many escapees you brought in now? Hmm? Six? Five grand a pop? That's not too bad. What happens when there aren't any more? Jim Gordon: I don't think Gotham's running out of monsters anytime soon. Oswald Cobblepot: [about Mooney] Why didn't she kill me when she had the chance? I was powerless. She must have a larger goal. I-I need to know what she is doing. Edward Nygma: Do you? When Alexander encountered the Gordian knot, a knot so complex no one had ever been able to untangle it... he just removed his sword and cut it in two. Details can be distracting. Sometimes, a simple solution is best. See, no matter what she is planning, just remember: Penguins... eat... fish. Selina Kyle: You okay, Butch? World getting you down? Butch Gilzean: [sighs] Yeah, I'm fine, kid. And you're too young to be in here. Scram. Selina Kyle: Jeesh. Just trying to be nice. [leaves] Butch Gilzean: [to Cobblepot, about Tabitha] Just seeing her kills me, you know? Oswald Cobblepot: Get over it

Valerie Vale: I have a proposition... Jim Gordon: Not interested. Valerie Vale: Oh c'mon. Think of it as a way to say "I'm sorry for handcuffing you to a car door." Jim Gordon: Except I'm not. Valerie Vale: So, this is where you live. Anyone considering a career in bounty hunting should see this, preferably wearing a Haz-Mat suit. You don't bring women here, do you? Barbara Kean: Jim. I had a dream about you the other night. You were in this horrible accident, and you lost both of your legs, and then I had to push you around in a giant baby carriage. James Gordon: Good seeing you, Barbara. Oswald Cobblepot: This is it, Butch. She's finally cornered, like a rat! Butch Gilzean: Yeah, well, what are you gonna do? The cops are already there. Oswald Cobblepot: GCPD is not Gotham. Gotham listens to me. Fish Mooney: You know, I owned this club once, ran protection on the side. Every first of the month, people would pay me. Every once in a while, someone would come up short. They would say, "M

Jervis Tetch: [while hypnotizing a victim] Lock sense away, let loose the rascal. When I say it is so, your home is my castle. Jervis Tetch: Who am I? I haunt your dreams like a ghost, for I know what scares you most. So you run, run, as fast as you can. There's no escape from the magic man. Oswald Cobblepot: Gotham is rife with crime, Butch. Who better than a criminal to clean it up? Mario Calvi: [whle stitching up Gordon's head] Lee speaks very highly of you. I'm Mario, Lee's fiance. Jim Gordon: That's nice of her. Mario Calvi: Jim, I don't know where your head's at with all this, but I want you to know that I love her very much. I'll take good care of her. Jim Gordon: Good to know. Mario Calvi: So we're okay? Jim Gordon: Yeah, sure. Why wouldn't we be? Lee and I are old news. Water under the bridge. You won't get any problem from me. I wish you both nothing but the best. Mario Calvi: Thank you. All done. Jim Gordon: [smiling] But, uh, if you ever were to hurt her, I'd have to hunt y

Alice Tetch: I'm not a monster. But if you want to see one, wait until my brother comes to see me. Barbara Kean: [to Gordon] Oh, you need a favor. You must be monumentally screwed. Capt. Nathaniel Barnes: Look, you've caught some bad breaks. Blackgate, Lee... I don't know what happened when you went to see her, but I can take a pretty good guess. But at some point, you're going to have to make peace with the decisions you've made. Jim Gordon: What if I can't? Capt. Nathaniel Barnes: Take it from me, you don't want to wake up one day and realize that 20 years have gone by. Jim Gordon: Guess you're gonna have to trust me. Harvey Bullock: Remember to chisel that into my tombstone. Oswald Cobblepot: Butch? Oswald Cobblepot: Give me one reason why I shouldn't let Butch kill you where you stand! Edward Nygma: Well, there are about thirty witnesses... Oswald Cobblepot: I DON'T CARE! Edward Nygma: [nods to the television] And there's that. News Anchor: In what can only be viewed as a seismic s

Oswald Cobblepot: I can't be bought, but I can be stolen with a glance. I'm useless to one, but priceless to two. Love. They love me. Edward Nygma: If you would have bought the election, you never would have known. Now you do. Feels good, doesn't it? Oswald Cobblepot: How did you know I would win? Edward Nygma: I believe in you, Oswald. Even when you don't believe in yourself. Oswald Cobblepot: [to Butch] You. You never believed I could win this election on my own. I think maybe you're not cut out for this after all. Butch Gilzean: What?! Oswald Cobblepot: Oh, don't worry, I still need someone to crack skulls. [to Nygma] C'mon, Ed, we've got plans to make.

Edward Nygma: The people love you. Gangs fear you. And tomorrow, the cream of Gotham will be gathering to celebrate you. What more could someone ask for? Oswald Cobblepot: Someone to share it with. Butch Gilzean: Let me see this through. When I get my place beside Penguin back, I'll protect you. Tabitha Galavan: Oh, you'll do more than that. You'll owe me. And one day, I'm gonna collect. Bruce Wayne: How long do I have to stay? Alfred Pennyworth: As long as takes for you to be seen out in the world, Master Bruce, being Bruce Wayne and smiling. Bruce Wayne: So this is our life now. Fake smiles and mingling. I miss the old days. Alfred Pennyworth: So do I. Butch Gilzean: I can't believe you'd turn on Oswald too. Victor Zsasz: Uh, hello? Pot? Kettle? Black? Bruce Wayne: There's something between us. You have to see that. Selina Kyle: Rule one: Don't ever tell me what I have to do. Bruce Wayne: So you do have feelings for me? I'm confused. Selina Kyle: Good. [leaves]
