Quotes 

• [Penguin tells the citizens of Gotham to kill the monsters] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : For months, I warned the police about the threat to our city posed by Hugo Strange's freaks, by the murderer Fish Mooney, and how did they protect you? They said that Fish Mooney wasn't real. That these escapees were victims who need our help. Well, Fish Mooney was real. And once she was cornered by the GCPD, finally, they let her escape. And these 'victims'... Well, I, for one, am not afraid to call them by their proper name: monsters!

  Oswald Cobblepot : [the crowd cheers]  Our city is being invaded by monsters, attacking our brothers and sisters, and it is up to us! To you! To kill every monster you see! Who is with me?

  [the crowd cheers as Penguin holds his fist into the air] 

• [Penguin receives a phone call from Jim Gordon] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin smiles]  Jim, you just keep surprising me.

  James Gordon : [Gordon on the other end]  Shut up.

• [Captain Barnes tells Penguin and the other citizens of Gotham to leave the mansion] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Cobblepot, get this crowd to disperse, or I'll make them disperse. And there will be bloodshed.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin shouts with an evil grin]  Promise?

• [Penguin corners Fish Mooney and Hugo Strange in the woods with a gun] 

  Fish Mooney : So this is it? I spare your life, and you shoot me dead in the woods like an animal?

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin smiles]  Pretty much, yes.

• [Penguin demands for Fish Mooney to tell him why she didn't kill him] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : Why didn't you kill me? I have gone over that night 1,000 times, and it doesn't make any sense. Why didn't you kill me? I would've killed you in an instant. Answer me!

  Fish Mooney : Because you're mine. You were my umbrella boy, remember? You rubbed my feet when they were tired. And now look at you, the terror of Gotham. Everything I've done in my life, possibly the best thing was turning Oswald Cobblepot into... the Penguin. I couldn't destroy that.

  Fish Mooney : [Fish looks to Hugo Strange]  Ask him. He understands what it is to bring something into being. It is a part of you. Forever.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin lowers his gun with tears in his eyes]  Good-bye, Fish. Don't come back.
