Tonya Pinkins: Ethel Peabody

Quotes 

• [Hugo Strange talks to Ms. Peabody about letting Oswald Cobblepot out of Arkham Asylum] 

  Ethel Peabody : Are you sure about that, letting him go?

  Hugo Strange : Not really. He's an experiment.

  Ethel Peabody : He's a notorious criminal. They'll be an outcry.

  Hugo Strange : The outcry will pass. People are afraid of progress, Ms. Peabody, and yet, somehow, we keep progressing.

  Ethel Peabody : I hope you'll at least alert the police he's been released.

  Hugo Strange : That's enough input, Ms. Peabody. I have other reasons, deeper plans for Cobblepot, that you can't know about now. For your own safety.

  Ethel Peabody : Deeper plans? Deeper than building semi-human creatures in the basement? I'm sure I don't want to know, thank you very much. On your head be it.
