Quotes 

• [Penguin admits to the murder of Theo Galavan] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : I took Galavan to the river and killed him. Slowly.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : You confess to murder?

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yes, I do. Proud of it. I'm not a criminal, you know? I'm just... insane.

• [Harvey Dent walks up next to Captain Barnes, asking him about Jim Gordon's story] 

  Harvey Dent : Captivating story.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Yes, it was.

  Harvey Dent : Do you believe him?

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : I believe your investigation has found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing.

  Harvey Dent : Careful. You're starting to sound like a lawyer.

• [Captain Barnes interrogates Penguin about what happened at Theo Galavan's that night] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Why don't you start with the moment right after you knocked me out with that vase?

  Oswald Cobblepot : I'm sorry for that. Such an exquisite vase.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [Barnes' face remains still]  This is my amused look.

• [Captain Barnes shows up at the GCPD with the Penguin in handcuffs] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [the police clap]  Silence! What are you a bunch of cheerleaders? This is not a game! This is our job! And this... specimen... this is just one sad pathetic skell. There are plenty of scumbags out there. Plenty. So stop waving your pom-poms and go catch some.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yeah, stare all you want. Big whoop. You got me. I'm cool. It's all good.

• [Captain Barnes attempts to believe Jim Gordon's story about the murder of Theo Galavan] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Cobblepot backed your story?

  James Gordon : You mean he told the truth.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Yeah. That's what I'm gonna choose to believe.

  James Gordon : That's the right thing to do.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [Barnes extends his hand out]  Good to have you back.

  James Gordon : Good to be back, sir.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [in their handshake Barnes pulls Gordon to his face]  Jim, I'm trusting you, don't make a fool out of me.

  James Gordon : Yes, sir.
