Gotham

"Soon the bells will toll, Jim. How many more will grow cold, Jim? Like your soul, Jim." (07.05.2019)

"I'm here to see Xander Wilde, and no, I don't have an appointment. Don't bother going to security, they're all headless." (08.05.2019)

"We came here to blow some minds! Whoo! Sorry to interrupt your little show, but you are gonna love this next one. Introducing Mayor Pritchard, Commissioner Reynolds, Archbishop McGregor, and this lady whoever she is. This is everybody. Everybody, say hi. Now, as you can see, we're still waiting for two guests of honor. But in the meantime, let's go over the rules of tonight's entertainment, shall we? Dynamite. Trigger. I don't get what I want? Boom. Headless people." (08.05.2019)

"I'm the revealer of masks. When I appear, friend becomes foe. And the one that you love becomes the one that you hate. What am I?" (08.05.2019)

"I'm more than a man. I'm an idea. And I will live on in the shadows within Gotham's discontent." (08.05.2019)

"I almost got killed fighting your ex-boyfriend's rotting corpse. I think it's time to return the favor." (08.05.2019)

"You're right, you know. I did fail. I didn't yet understand the vision I was servicing, but I do now. My eyes are open, as will yours be." (08.05.2019)

"After the bridges blew and the government declared Gotham off-limits, the city was up for grabs. Given over to criminals and murderers. Now, territory is controlled by whoever has enough power to hold it. I mean, we have Penguin in City Hall, for God's sakes. He raided the armory and stockpiled weapons, then repurposed a factory to manufacture ammunition. It's made him unassailable. Barbara and the Sirens control an area around their club. It's the only place in Gotham not suffering for food, or booze. Barbara trades mainly in information. It's women only, but men can buy windows of time. Word is she enforces her rule with an iron hand. To the west is Jonathan Crane, the Scarecrow. Victor Fries is further north and warring with Firefly. And to date, there have been no confirmed sightings of Jeremiah Valeska. Then there's us. GCPD controls a ten-block area around the precinct, where we feed and protect 150 civilians. That number could grow as who knows how many others are trapped around the city. These are people who couldn't get out when the city was abandoned. The poor, the sick, whole families." (10.05.2019)

"I swear to God, I'm never paying taxes again." (10.05.2019)

"His name is Will Thomas. Parents died in a home invasion a few weeks after the bridges came down. Guys that broke in took him to some sort of factory where he was held alongside dozens of other stolen kids, all chained together. Call themselves The Soothsayers. Granton. Near the water, he said. Had them digging some sort of tunnel. Will broke free from his restraints last night and walked nine miles through the Dark Zone to find us." (10.05.2019)

"The bullet's still inside. Rattling around this old noggin of mine. Ping. Ping. Ping. Boy, do I feel it when the nights get cold." (10.05.2019)

This is Gotham. You're gonna have to do better than "shady guy." (12.05.2019)

"Verisimilitude trumps precaution, you see." (12.05.2019)

"Congratulations?" (13.05.2019)

"Tick tock, the chemical stock, shall give our Gotham an aftershock." (13.05.2019)

"You worked me to the bone, forced me to be your puppet, well no more." (14.05.2019)

"Ugh. What did you eat? You smell like a butcher. You know, I'm vegan now." (14.05.2019)

"If the world is full of monsters, the only way to defeat them is to become one yourself." (14.05.2019)

"You've spent your life protecting me. Now it's time for me to do the same. It's time for me to protect Gotham, even if there's nothing left to defend." (14.05.2019)

JAMES: I was hoping Gotham would outgrow me. But it hasn't exactly happened. No one's stepped forward. LEE: Well, maybe you need to step down to allow someone to step up. (14.05.2019)
