Quotes 

• Harvey Bullock : You sure about this, Penguin? You're telling me this is where Loeb keeps 20 years of dirty secrets? Doesn't feel right.

  James Gordon : Well, maybe that's the point. No one would suspect it.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Which would you prefer, Detective Bullock? A sign saying "Super secret blackmail hoard"?

  Harvey Bullock : You know, the last time the three of us took a ride, you were in the trunk. I liked that better.

• Detective Arnold Flass : You heard the good news? Hey, the boys are throwing me a welcome back down at O'Donnelys. Figure you want to stop by. Show support for your soon-to-be new president.

  James Gordon : I wouldn't celebrate just yet.

  Detective Arnold Flass : You just don't learn. Still want to take me down? I'm like the phoenix. I'll just rise again and again and again.

• Harvey Bullock : I'm not denying anything. I did what I had to do. If I didn't do what Loeb told me to do, I would've lost my job. Probably gone to prison.

  James Gordon : What does have on you? Harvey...

  Harvey Bullock : Do you honestly think you're the only one who had orders to take a punk down to the end of the pier and put a bullet in his head? Huh? The difference is my Cobblepot didn't come back.

  James Gordon : Slim pickings at the food court. Brought you a bagel.

  Bruce Wayne : Thanks.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Nothing for the invalid?

  James Gordon : Sorry, hospital food only. Doctor's orders. How you feeling?

  Alfred Pennyworth : All right. Had a slight puncture. Leaked a bit.

• Miriam Loeb : [holding up a bird skeleton]  I started making jewelry.

  James Gordon : What's it made of?

  Miriam Loeb : Bones. Starlings. They, uh they land on my windowsill, and you can catch them if you're really silent and still. And I can be really silent and still. Silent as a mouse.

  James Gordon : Then what do you do?

  Miriam Loeb : I crush the back of their heads. I just press down with my thumb. It makes, like, a a popping noise. Pop!
