  James Gordon : I've thought long and hard about this.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : No.

  James Gordon : You have to listen to me.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : I'm tired of listening. This isn't fair. How can you not be with us?

• [Captain Barnes interrogates Jim Gordon for the murder of Officer Pinkney] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : I know that something went down between you and Galavan that night. I saw it in your eyes when I.A. was grilling you. And now the one person who was about to shine light on this whole thing is found beaten to death with you standing over the body. What am I missing?

  James Gordon : [Jim screams]  I was set up!

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Jim! How many lying, son of a bitch, low-life weasels have you heard use that same line. Somebody set you up? That's what you're going with? The least you can admit what you did. Be a man! Pinkney was one of us. He deserves that. I deserve that! The least you could do is look me in the eye and remind me that you were a good cop once. That you still know right from wrong. Jim.

  James Gordon : [Jim hangs his head]  I want to talk to my rep.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : You're a disgrace to the badge.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [Barnes bangs the table]  I trusted you! But you broke my heart.
