Quotes 

• [Penguin says goodbye to Leslie Thompkins and Jim Gordon] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : [shakes Gordon's hand]  Good luck, old friend. See you around.

  James Gordon : I hope not. Goodbye, Penguin.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Goodbye, Miss Thompkins. Please don't think too badly of me. We are who we are.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [shakes Penguin's hand]  That's true. Goodbye, Mr. Cobblepot.

• [Penguin offers Jim Gordon a team-up in taking Theo Galavan down] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : You and I share a bond in Theo Galavan. A passion if you will. If there was ever a time for us to work together, now is that time.

• [Leslie Thompkins tries to convince Jim Gordon to not team-up with the Penguin] 

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Have I got you all wrong? Are you just crazy?

  James Gordon : Of course not.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : You're on the run from the law. You want to attack the mayor with the help of a depraved sociopath. That's not crazy?

  Oswald Cobblepot : I can hear you.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [looks over to Penguin]  Shh, don't speak.

  [back to Gordon] 

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Jim, don't do this.

• [Jim Gordon holds a gun on Penguin, who tries to remind Gordon that Theo Galavan must die] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : Look forward now, Jim. What now? I will kill you to get to him if I have to. Forget that this man sicked Barbara Kean on you. Forget that he nearly killed the mother of your child. Forget revenge. Think of the greater good. Think of Gotham. He has the courts in his pocket and billions of dollars at his command. Are you 100% sure that he won't beat this and walk free again? Are you sure, Jim?

  Officer On Radio : [the radio of Captain Barnes' goes off on the ground]  Captain, Bravo Team in the vicinity of the penthouse.

  Oswald Cobblepot : But think fast.

• James Gordon : [preparing for the raid on Galavan's penthouse]  You're in, Cat. Thanks for your help. Grab a vest and let's go.

  Lucius Fox : People, surely we should have a backup strategy, given the strong possibilities of failure.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [cheerfully]  Au contraire, Mr. Fox. Failure is not an option!

  [Fox looks to Gordon] 

  James Gordon : What he said.

  Lucius Fox : As you like.

• [Theo Galavan kneels on the riverbank, looking to both Jim Gordon and the Penguin] 

  Theo Galavan : Now, uh... here we are. Shame. It's gonna be a beautiful morning. Goodbye, Jim Gordon.

  [Galavan looks at Penguin standing over him] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : This is for my mother.

  [Penguin brutally beats Galavan with a baseball bat] 

  Theo Galavan : [to Gordon]  Kill me, please! Please.

  James Gordon : Enough! That's enough.

  [Gordon pulls away the laughing Penguin, draws his pistol and shoots Galavan in the chest]
