Quotes
-
[Selina Kyle and Butch Gilzean make their way to visit the Pike brothers]
Butch Gilzean : Just let me do the talkin'. You just smile and make like we're friends.
Selina Kyle : Friends? That's a hundred extra.
Butch Gilzean : [Selina continues walking off as Butch mumbles] Chiseler.

[Butch Gilzean pays a visit to Selina Kyle asking for her help]
Butch Gilzean : I need you to take me to the Pike brothers.
Selina Kyle : The firebugs from the Narrows? I used to hang out with their sister, Bridgit, when I was a kid. Why do you need me to take you?
Butch Gilzean : To vouch for me. The Pikes are the best arsonists in town, but they're also Fish loyalists. The idiots think she's coming back someday.
Selina Kyle : She might come back.
Butch Gilzean : I was there, darlin'.
Selina Kyle : She might.
Butch Gilzean : Whatever. The Pikes hate me and Penguin, for obvious reasons, but... everyone knows Fish loved you.
Selina Kyle : They do?
Butch Gilzean : Your face will open doors, babe.

[first lines]
Theo Galavan : [Penguin and Theo Galavan have a meeting about who's boss] Thank you for the trunk, old friend. I'll call you when I need you.
Oswald Cobblepot : I'm glad you call me a friend.
Theo Galavan : [Galavan scoffs] Figure of speech. But do go on.
Oswald Cobblepot : I can't help feeling... wouldn't I be so much more useful to you as a friend? As a colleague, as an ally?
Theo Galavan : As opposed to the tool you are at present. Good question. No.
Oswald Cobblepot : I would be a much more effective tool for you if I wasn't so worried about my mother. If you let her come home I would still do your bidding. Trust me, I know who's boss now.
Butch Gilzean : [Penguin chuckles before snapping his finger for Butch to agree] Yes, sir, we all know who's boss.

[Tabitha Galavan pays a visit to the Penguin who's beginning to go paranoid]
Tabitha Galavan : Why so glum?
Oswald Cobblepot : I just lost a lot of money.
Tabitha Galavan : Aww. Poor sad little bread head.
Oswald Cobblepot : The money is immaterial. Someone must have betrayed me. Someone close.
Butch Gilzean : You don't know that, boss.
Oswald Cobblepot : Oh, don't I? Don't I!
Tabitha Galavan : Whoa, chill, birdman.

[Butch Gilzean discusses with Penguin about the future plans for Theo Galavan]
Oswald Cobblepot : [Butch takes a drink under Penguin's orders] Your conditioning is still working nicely, hmm? You can't refuse me. You're the only man I can truly trust right now.
Butch Gilzean : You're starting to sound a little paranoid, boss.
Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin chuckles before screaming back at Butch] Am I? Am I going mad? Mm, how can I not when that fiend has my mother in his clutches. Have another drink, Butch.
Oswald Cobblepot : [Butch pours and takes another drink] Maybe I am going mad. Or maybe I found Galavan's weakness.
Butch Gilzean : You did?
Oswald Cobblepot : The knife, Butch. The knife that maimed his ancestors. This is a blood feud for Galavan. He wants revenge against the Waynes. He's acting out of emotion. And that can be manipulated. Have another drink.
Oswald Cobblepot : [Butch pours and takes another drink] You are going to go to Galavan and you are going to tell him I went nuts, and that I accused you of setting up the count shop raid. You are in fear for your life, and you need a job, got that?
Butch Gilzean : Yes, boss.
Oswald Cobblepot : Once you're inside his organization, you will find my mother and rescue her.
Butch Gilzean : Yes, boss. But... Galavan's a smart guy, and that's a basic play. No way is he going to buy I turned traitor.
Oswald Cobblepot : No... but he will buy that I think you turned traitor. He'll buy it... if you sell it right. Drink up.
Butch Gilzean : [Butch takes another drink] How do we sell it?
Oswald Cobblepot : I already sold him my paranoia. But you are the closer. How do we sell you? How do we make him trust and feel for you? I wasn't sure. But then Celestine and Caleb told me how.
Butch Gilzean : How?
[Penguin quickly holds Butch's hand down, pulling out a meat cleaver, chopping Butch's hand off as Butch lets out a high-pitched scream]
