Quotes 

• [Jim Gordon comforts Barbara Kean in the interrogation room] 

  Barbara Kean : Don't act all calm and businesslike. Rough me up a little, if you want.

  James Gordon : I don't want to do that. I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you.

  Barbara Kean : I know... you want to hurt me, just a little. I've been a very bad girl.

  James Gordon : No. You're a good woman. You're just sick, is all.

  [Barbara cries in her hands before looking up a bit shocked, as Gordon sits on the table beside her, kissing her on the lips] 

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara laughs with tears in her eyes]  I knew it. I knew you still had feelings for me.

  James Gordon : Of course I have feelings.

• [first lines] 

  James Gordon : [in a dream, Barbara Kean walks down the aisle to Jim Gordon]  Ready for the practice run?

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara arrives at the alter smiling]  I'm ready to skip this and get married

  James Gordon : Me, too.

  Father Callahan : Let us rehearse the vows. Barbara Kean...

  Barbara Kean : Mmm...

  Father Callahan : Do you take James Gordon to be your unlawfully wedded husband to have to hold...

  Barbara Kean : I'm sorry, Father. You said 'unlawfully wedded'.

  James Gordon : [Gordon whispers]  Barbara, just answer him, for God's sake.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Barbara looks back to Father Callahan, and sees a Father Cobblepot who grins]  I'm waiting.

• [Jim Gordon speaks to Barbara Kean in the interrogation room] 

  James Gordon : They said you'd only talk to me. I'm listening.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara quietly whispers]  Yes. Here it is.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara quickly states]  Is there any chance I could get a latte or something?

  James Gordon : This is not a game, Barbara.

  Barbara Kean : Oh. Of course it is. It's a game you've been losing. Big-time.

  James Gordon : It is not a game.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara chuckles]  It must be killing you. All that righteous indignation with no place to go.

• [Doctor Thompkins talks to Jim Gordon about Barbara Kean still having a hold over him] 

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : This is you, Jim. This is all you. She sucked you right back in, didn't she? Because she still has a hold on you. Her sickness and yours feed off each other.

  James Gordon : What do you mean my sickness? I'm not sick.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : You see an abyss, and you run toward it. That's not healthy.

  James Gordon : I'm just doing my job.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara walks out in chains]  Hey, Lee. You don't mind if I borrow him for a little while, do you?

  [Barbara continues to walk, chuckling] 

• [Jim Gordon and Harvey Bullock assist in following Barbara Kean's plan] 

  James Gordon : You good?

  Harvey Bullock : Anything that makes Barnes' tight ass nervous, I'm all for.

• [Barbara Kean talks to the tied up Jim Gordon in her wedding dress, in the Cathedral] 

  Barbara Kean : Well, this is my wedding dress. The tailor still had it in storage. I mean, can you believe the luck? Or fate.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara aims her weapon at the priest]  That's father Callahan. You remember him, of course.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara aims her weapon to the church members]  And these bozos... Oh! Who knows? But you can't have a wedding without witnesses. That's the law.

  James Gordon : Barbara...

  Barbara Kean : Jim... Please don't act all surprised or aggrieved. You knew, from the start, that this was a trap. But you thought, 'Hey, let the bad guys take their best shot. I'm Jim Gordon. I'll find a way to win. Or die.'

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara grabs onto the chair Jim is tied up in]  It's option B, baby. Your fondest wish to come true.

  James Gordon : [Gordon turns his head]  I don't want to die.

  Barbara Kean : Oh. Hey. Sure you do. Aren't you tired of hiding your true self? Tired of lying to yourself? To Lee?

  James Gordon : [Gordon looks at Barbara]  I don't lie to Lee.

• [Barbara Kean dangles outside of the top Cathedral window] 

  James Gordon : [Gordon holds onto Barbara]  Hold on. Hold on.

  Barbara Kean : I'm sorry, baby. I've been kind of a bad date, huh?

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara looks to Gordon]  I love you, baby.

  James Gordon : [Barbara lets go of Gordon, as he screams]  No!

• [Barbara is being escorted by Jim and Harvey in a police car as part of a convoy, in order to gather evidence against Galavan] 

  James Gordon : Barbara, listen to me. Are you listening? You have a lifetime ahead of you. Don't throw it away on madness.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Gordon, Bullock come in.

  Harvey Bullock : Go ahead, Captain.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : I don't like this. You're boxed in. There's lots of cover, high vantage points all around.

  Harvey Bullock : Perfect spot for an ambush

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Yeah, I gotta pull you out.

  Barbara Kean : Turn around, you get nothing.

  James Gordon : Not yet.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : You hear me? I'm pulling you out.

  Harvey Bullock : What was that, Captain? You're breaking up.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Bullock! I swear to God, if you disobey

  [radio shuts off] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : ...
