- [Hugo Strange and Ms. Peabody watch over Theo Galavan's condition]
- Hugo Strange: Strong as an ox, fast as a snake.
- Ethel Peabody: Mad as a hatter. There's not much use bringing back the dead if they come back crazy.
- Hugo Strange: Oh, he's not crazy. He just doesn't know who he is.
- [first lines]
- Theo Galavan: [Theo Galavan claws at the wall talking to himself] Rally to me. Rally to me. St. Dumas will deliver us. Dumas will deliver us. Rally. Heathens. And Dumas will protect us. Heathens, idolaters, Spawn of Satan, prepare to die! No. No. No, don't. Please. Sister? Speak to me, please. Please speak to me. Who are you? Huh? Who are you?
- Ethel Peabody: [as Ms. Peabody and Hugo Strange watch from behind the glass] Has there been any improvement since he woke up yesterday?
- Hugo Strange: No. But he's wonderful, isn't he?
- [Jim Gordon asks Hugo Strange about Pinewood Farms]
- Hugo Strange: Pinewood Farms was started by Thomas Wayne in an attempt to cure humanity's greatest ailments on the genetic level - Old age, disease, even death.
- James Gordon: But that's not what happened, is it? Karen said the program tried to play God, and you ended up creating monsters.
- Hugo Strange: I was just a researcher with no knowledge of that until it was too late.
- James Gordon: A man of your skill and expertise a lowly researcher. Find that hard to believe.
- Hugo Strange: [Hugo Strange smiles] But it's true. Mr. Wayne excelled at compartmentalizing every aspect of his life. Within Pinewood, the left hand often didn't know what the right hand was doing.
- [Hugo Strange asks Jim Gordon during their interview why is he there]
- Hugo Strange: Why are you really here, Mr. Gordon?
- James Gordon: Excuse me?
- Hugo Strange: This whole city has turned its back on you, despite you risking your life to save it over and over again.
- James Gordon: I'm not here for a therapy session, Professor.
- Hugo Strange: No. It's more like an interrogation by a man who's no longer a police officer. Who no longer has the right to demand answers. The only reason you're sitting in that chair is because I allow it. So let me ask you, why... are... you... here?
- [Hugo Strange tells Jim Gordon he's lost everything and calls him a liar]
- Hugo Strange: You've lost everything. You're trying to make up for the sins of your past, and you believe that this case will somehow bring about your own personal redemption.
- James Gordon: No.
- Hugo Strange: You're not doing this for your client. You're doing this for yourself.
- James Gordon: You're wrong.
- Hugo Strange: [Hugo Strange smiles] You just exhibited several tells - facial ticks expressions and eye movements that people involuntarily betray themselves with when they lie.
- [Jim Gordon asks Hugo Strange where Victor Fries' body is and calls him a liar]
- James Gordon: This is a court order signed by District Attorney Dent to exhume Fries' body. Where is it buried?
- Hugo Strange: [Hugo Strange smiles] He was cremated.
- James Gordon: Thank you.
- Hugo Strange: For what?
- James Gordon: I can read tells, too. You're lying. I needed to be sure you were behind all this, and now I am.
- [as Gordon walks out, Hugo Strange opens the empty envelope Gordon carried]
- [Edward Nygma shows Hugo Strange that he can manipulate people such as the patients in Arkham Asylum]
- Edward Nygma: I can manipulate people. I did it to Gordon once, and I can do it again, 'cause peoples' brains are just a mystery, and once you figure it out. Look. Helzinger?
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma walks up to the patient Helzinger who's folding paper] Can't stand criticism because of an overbearing mother. Wants love and approval. Gets mad when he doesn't get it, so I give it.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma receives the folded piece of paper from Helzinger] Oh, thank you!
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma walks up to the patient Sharon when he takes her book away from her] Sharon. Kleptomaniacal due to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma gives her back the book to stop her from grunting] Just give her something to concentrate on.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma feels the inmate Norton breathe down his neck from behind, licking his face] And... and Norton. Serious boundary issues. Prone to torture, violence and cannibalism. Unless he thinks he's your friend!
- Norton: [Nygma holds up the folded piece of paper] For me? Oh!
- [Edward Nygma tells Hugo Strange that everyone has a story]
- Edward Nygma: Everyone has a story, and they just want to be listened to. My God! I should be the shrink!
- Hugo Strange: [Nygma laughs] What did you say?
- Edward Nygma: I'm sorry. Was that too far?
- Hugo Strange: Everybody has a story.
- [Hugo Strange gives the reanimated Theo Galavan the name of Azrael]
- Hugo Strange: I am your father and your lord. And he who has another birth, brought forth from the cold grasp of death shall rise again and serve my Order. I say this, and it becomes. And I will give him the name of...
- Theo Galavan: Azrael!
- [Bruce Wayne and Captain Barnes tell each other how they feel about one another]
- Bruce Wayne: Excuse me, Captain. I find your flippant attitude to be inappropriate.
- Nathaniel Barnes: I find you to be kind of a pain in the ass.
- [Butch Gilzean tells Tabitha Galavan that Barbara Kean is mad]
- Butch Gilzean: Honey, I know you like her, but that woman's mad as a bag of squirrels.
- Tabitha Galavan: She said she's cured.
- Butch Gilzean: That's what an insane person would say!
- Barbara Kean: [Barbara returns holding a butcher knife up] Do we have any limes?
- [last lines]
- Edward Nygma: [Edward Nygma finds the secret elevator in Arkham Asylum that leads him into the basement corridor of screaming patients] Oh, my.
- [Jim Gordon sees Edward Nygma behind bars while at Arkham Asylum]
- James Gordon: Go to hell, Ed.
- Edward Nygma: Oh, you've already put me there. Here.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma laughs] But not for long, my friend. I'll find my way out. 'Cause this place is just one big puzzle, and puzzles are my forte. Nobody beats me.
- James Gordon: [Gordon smiles] I did. See you never, Ed.
- [Jim Gordon tells Bruce Wayne that he needs to be better the right way]
- Bruce Wayne: What you did to Galavan. What you knew you had to do, because of the bureaucracy and the red tape.
- James Gordon: What I had to do? I chose to kill a man in cold blood, and it was the wrong choice, crossing that line. You'll pay for it over and over again, like I have been. Like I still am. And it will make you more like the evil you're trying to fight. You need to be better.
- [Hugo Strange tells Ms. Peabody the story of the knight Azrael]
- Hugo Strange: He's Azrael now. A fabled 12th century knight who died for the cause of his feudal Lord, Adam Dumas. This Dumas character was made a saint, performed a lot of miracles and so forth. And one of the miracles was bringing Azrael back to life.
- Ethel Peabody: I still prefer Thorazine.
- Hugo Strange: You need to learn to work with what you have, Ms. Peabody.
- [Edward Nygma expects the Arkham inmate Norton to bring him back the bug zapper]
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma whispers to Norton] What is this?
- Norton: It's a fly swatter.
- Edward Nygma: I can see that it's a fly swatter. I didn't ask for a fly swatter. I asked for the bug zapper in the kitchen.
- Norton: What's the difference?
- Edward Nygma: The difference is that one has a black light that emits ultraviolet energy and this is leather on a stick.
- Norton: They both kill flies.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma slaps Norton in the face] I don't need to kill flies. I need you to go back to the kitchen and get the bug zapper.
- [Jim Gordon tells Captain Barnes about Hugo Strange creating monsters]
- Nathaniel Barnes: So, in a nutshell, Hugo Strange is making monsters out of dead people in his spare time, and he had Karen Jennings killed by Victor Fries, who's been dead for three months.
- James Gordon: I know it sounds far-fetched.
- Nathaniel Barnes: Far-fetched? No. It sounds insane!
- [Hugo Strange reads out of the book 'Alice in Wonderland' for more persona exploration]
- Hugo Strange: 'But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked. 'Oh, you can't help that,' said the cat: 'We're all mad here.'
- Hugo Strange: [Hugo smiles before laughing] Oh, yes. Yes, that will do nicely!
- [Captain Barnes tells Jim Gordon man needs the law in Gotham City]
- James Gordon: There are times when breaking the law is the right thing to do.
- Nathaniel Barnes: And who gets to decide that, you?
- James Gordon: Yeah. Someone has to.
- Nathaniel Barnes: No, Jim, you're wrong. Look where Gotham's going. Maniacs, perverts, freaks, coming out of every hole. It's like a sea of evil flooding the city. If a man doesn't cling onto the law, he'll lose his bearings, drown.
- [Azrael gives Captain Barnes the choice to release Jim Gordon or his officers will die]
- Theo Galavan: Order them to stand aside and allow the sinner, James Gordon, to be punished. Do this, and I will spare them all. Decline and they will face my judgment. Their lives now rest in your hands. How many will die? All? Or one? Decide, Captain.
- Nathaniel Barnes: You can go to hell.
- Theo Galavan: I've been there. You go.
- [Azrael fires a pistol killing the GCPD officers while holding Jim Gordon]
- Theo Galavan: Such an amazing tool of destruction.
- Theo Galavan: [as Azrael fires the empty gun at Gordon's head] Vile sorcery.
- [Azrael tells Jim Gordon that he'll show him the way to hell]
- Theo Galavan: Finally. Come to me, and I will show you the way to hell.
- James Gordon: I know the way.
- [when Gordon fires his pistol at Azrael]
- [Barbara Kean tells Butch Gilzean she's making gimlets]
- Barbara Kean: Gimlets!
- Butch Gilzean: Actually, bourbon sounds...
- Barbara Kean: I'm making gimlets.
- Butch Gilzean: [Barbara leaves the room as Butch tells Tabitha Galavan] Okay, she scares me.
- Hugo Strange: I have it, Peabody. I have the cure for our prize patient.
- Ethel Peabody: Do tell.
- Hugo Strange: What is an identity? What is a sense of self? It is a story that we humans tell ourselves. We have got to give him a great, heroic story.
- Ethel Peabody: We need to give him a good heroic dose of Thorazine, but you're the boss.
- Hugo Strange: [referring to Helzinger who is wandering the room] That is a demon. He lives in fire. That case will give you everything you need to destroy him!
- Azrael: [picks up the case and hits Helzinger with it]
- Hugo Strange: Not exactly what I had in mind, but good enough. Try opening the chest, my son.
- James Gordon: Trust me.
- Nathaniel Barnes: How can I trust you when you're talkin' crazy? How can I trust you when you've lied to me so many times? Monsters?
- James Gordon: I lied to you because it's hard to tell you the truth. You're stubborn and you're angry, and the GCPD has paid a price for it!
