Quotes 

• [Edward Nygma asks Harvey Bullock what he thinks Jim Gordon will do after escaping prison]

  Harvey Bullock : Knowing Jim Gordon, I'd say he's not gonna rest until he finds the son of a bitch who framed him for murder.

• [Edward Nygma talks to his other personality in the mirror about Jim Gordon] 

  Edward Nygma : [the nervous Nygma]  Relax, relax. Maybe Gordon won't even find Penguin.

  Edward Nygma : [the confident Nygma]  You idiot. He's a detective. He finds people for a living!

  Edward Nygma : [the nervous Nygma]  Penguin won't tell him. He's my friend.

  Edward Nygma : [the confident Nygma]  Oh, who am I kidding? Stupid, stupid!

  Edward Nygma : [the nervous Nygma thinks]  Okay, okay. Okay, calculate, Ed, calculate. Chances of Gordon finding Penguin? Say 80%. Chances of Penguin telling Gordon? Also 80%. So it's a 60% chance of Gordon finding Kristen. That settles it.

  Edward Nygma : Hello, Kristen. I know, didn't expect to see me again, but... circumstances.

• [Jim Gordon confronts Edward Nygma out in the snow about what made him a killer] 

  James Gordon : How did this happen to you? How did you become this?

  Edward Nygma : You dummy. This is who I am. It was just finally admitting the truth to myself. Well, that and murdering some people.

  James Gordon : I don't believe that.

  Edward Nygma : You don't believe it. Why, Jim? Because it would make you incompetent to know that I was right under your nose the whole time? Or you don't want to admit there's a monster in all of us? Because you, of all people, should know that!

• [Edward Nygma tells Jim Gordon a riddle when Gordon realizes Nygma is the one to set him up]

  James Gordon : You're a clock.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma smiles]  Correct.

• [Edward Nygma gives Jim Gordon a last riddle, reaching his hand out to Gordon's chest] 

  Edward Nygma : A nightmare for some. For others, a savior I come. My hand's cold and bleak. It's the warm hearts they seek.

  James Gordon : Death.

• Edward Nygma : I knew that you knew that I knew.

• [Edward Nygma drags Jim Gordon to the trunk of his car as he sings to himself] 

  Edward Nygma : Over the pavement and down the ally / Oh, my, this wind is cold / It bites my toes and nips my nose / As over the ground we go.
