- Oswald Cobblepot: Can I help you?
- Edward Nygma: I don't think so. Can you?
- Oswald Cobblepot: What do you want?
- Edward Nygma: What I want, the poor have, the rich need, and if you eat it you'll die.
- Oswald Cobblepot: Is this... Are you asking me a riddle?
- Edward Nygma: Do you like riddles?
- Oswald Cobblepot: No.
- Edward Nygma: So do you give up?
- Oswald Cobblepot: Friend, lookit...
- Edward Nygma: Nothing. The answer's nothing. The poor have it, the rich need it, and if you eat it you'll die.
- Oswald Cobblepot: Who are you?
- Edward Nygma: Edward. Nygma. I know who you are.
- Oswald Cobblepot: Then you know that you're standing too close.
- Edward Nygma: Did you know that male emperor penguins keep their eggs warm by balancing them on their feet? Isn't that neat?
- Oswald Cobblepot: Nice to meet you, sir. Keep moving.
- Edward Nygma: Will do.

- Doctor: The boy's received a massive dose of condensed hormones - cortisol, adrenaline... and another compound we're still trying to identify. The combination nearly killed him.
- James Gordon: But he's gonna live?
- Doctor: Yes... But we ran a CAT scan in order to determine if he suffered any brain damage. The results - we've never seen anything like them before. The hormones themselves have long since worn off, but the effects... They seem to be lingering.
- James Gordon: What are you saying? That he's still in fear?
- Doctor: Well, not just fear. Jonathan's brain activity shows he's in a constant state of intense terror.
- James Gordon: How long until this goes away?
- Doctor: Well, that's just the thing, detective. We can't be certain it ever will. Imagine the thing you fear most in the world. Imagine that it's all you see. Every waking hour.
- Jonathan Crane: [hallucinating] No, no, no!

- Fish Mooney: [wakes on the floor] I'm dreaming, right?
- Kelly: [crouching] Oh, I hope so, lady. I sure hope so.
- Fish Mooney: [about approaching thugs] What are they waiting for?
- Kelly: First man that comes at a new girl nearly always gets jumped by the second man.
- Fish Mooney: Is that right?
- Fish Mooney: [to thugs] Here's a promise, boys. The first of you to come at me will die like that. The second will die slow.
- Fish Mooney: [stepping back to the wall] So, boys, who's first?
- [the thugs walk away]
- Oswald Cobblepot: Don Maroni. It's such a pleasure to see you.
- Sal Maroni: Look at you. From the trunk of my car to running your own club.
