- Carmine Falcone: Which of these is your lover?
- Fish Mooney: Please. My heart's been broken far too many times for that nonsense.
- Carmine Falcone: Hmm. I heard you had a lover.
- Fish Mooney: Well, if you're referring to the boy that I keep around for exercise - my lover he is not.
- Detective James Gordon: What do you think?
- Detective Harvey Bullock: I think it's been a long shift. We give this bum three hours, then we knock off.
- Detective James Gordon: He was a vet.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: I salute his service. Now he's a dead bum. People are shooting bums all the time. We might as well be looking for the tooth fairy.
- Fish Mooney: Please, don't lose any sleep over Maroni. He's number two for a reason.
- Carmine Falcone: I never lose sleep over my enemies. It's my friends that keep me awake.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [to Bruce] Haven't I told you to stop creeping up on people like that? It's bloody rude.
- Fish Mooney: [rising to greet them] Harvey. Jim. How marvelous.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: Are you still mad at us?
- Fish Mooney: No. Please. I'm quite fond of you. And you intrigue me. I knew I'd regret killing you as soon as I gave the word. But you know me. I'm feisty.
- Detective James Gordon: [about calling the newspaper] Listen, Barbara, when I tell you stuff, it's between us. You can't do what you just did.
- Barbara Kean: It was the right thing to do.
- Detective James Gordon: Not the point.
- Barbara Kean: What is the point?
- Detective James Gordon: You're right, it was the right thing to do. Don't do it again.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: These high-class temperamental broads need firm handling, trust me.
- Detective James Gordon: Trust you? On women?
- Detective Harvey Bullock: Damn right. All varieties. From house fraus to movie stars. I love them all. Now, you, let me guess, high school sweetheart then a bunch of hos overseas only made you sad. And then there's Barbara.
- Detective James Gordon: Pretty much.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: You, my friend, are a monkey riding a race horse.
- Selina Kyle: Relax, kid. Juvie's not so bad. First week, whatever you do, don't make friends with anyone that's friendly. When you get into a fight, go for their eyes.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Bruce's father gave me very firm orders was him and his missus to die. Now I will raise the boy the way his father told me to raise him.
- Detective James Gordon: Which is how?
- Alfred Pennyworth: Trust him to choose his own course. He is, after all, a Wayne.
- Detective James Gordon: Sounds like a recipe for disaster.
