Quotes 

• James Gordon : Surprised you're still here. Thought you'd be long gone by now. That storm you warned me about for so long, it's finally here.

  Oswald Cobblepot : We've shared some turbulent times, you and I.

  James Gordon : That we have.

  Oswald Cobblepot : When you spared my life on the pier that day, banished me from Gotham, that was the most lost I've ever been. Because I was away from the city, you see. It's part of me. You know what I'm talking about, because it's part of you too. Sure, I could escape - with money, I might add - but then what? Stand on the shores of the mainland and watch the army burn it to the ground? Then watch tasteless industrialists and vapid politicians rebuild it? No. My life is etched on the walls of every alley and dirty warehouse here. My blood lives in its broken concrete. I'm staying to fight. For my legacy.

• Oswald Cobblepot : That bitch stole our submarine!

  Edward Nygma : And our gold.

  Oswald Cobblepot : And by now she's probably landed somewhere on the mainland, impossible to track! After all we've been through these last months, we are once again left with nothing! Nothing!

  Edward Nygma : Back to square one. Common criminals.

  Oswald Cobblepot : We saved this city from certain damnation, but will we see any credit for our loyalty, our selfless bravery? Of course not.

  Edward Nygma : I don't want their thanks. Or their respect. You know what I felt, standing shoulder to shoulder with those people out there? Nothing. I... feel... absolutely nothing for those drab boring people. That was me once. Minimum wage at a thankless job at the GCPD. "Yes, sir, No, sir. Thank you so much, sir." Picking up scraps from my master's floor. Shy, awkward... pathetic Ed. Common criminals? Never again. I've shown this city who I truly am once before, and I will do it again. They will bow to the Riddler, and they won't get up until I permit them to.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yes. You're right. Our accomplishments have been erased, our brilliant minds underrated. If they had let me run this city the way I wanted to, it would not be in ruins now. I have the men, the money, the guns...

  Edward Nygma : Gordon took them. Why? Because he still sees you as Fish Mooney's umbrella boy and he always will.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yes.

  Edward Nygma : I only came back to help him save this city so that I could take it for myself.

  Oswald Cobblepot : We would be stronger together. No one could stop us.

  Edward Nygma : Yeah, perhaps.

• James Gordon : Oswald, come in.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Still have those eyes in the back of your head, Jim.

  James Gordon : No. You just have a remarkably recognizable odor.

• Harvey Bullock : Hey! The Army just busted through the GCPD checkpoint. They're heading to the barricades, Bane's leading them.

  James Gordon : How many men?

  Harvey Bullock : Six, seven hundred?

  James Gordon : [to Oswald]  Still want to fight?

  Oswald Cobblepot : How many do we have?

  Harvey Bullock : Maybe thirty.

  Edward Nygma : [enters behind Bullock]  Thirty-one. Takes two men to pilot that submarine, Oswald. The dog can't do it. Ditto on that blood and concrete thing. Kind of like this city the way it is.

  [cocks his gun] 

  Edward Nygma : Shall we? I believe time is of the essence.

  James Gordon : Gentlemen.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Remind me to talk to you about that full pardon.
