James Gordon
- [last lines]
- James Gordon: The city is sick. Sick in a way I hadn't realized. When they were taking him away, this Balloonman killer, I asked who his last target was. You know what he said? "Doesn't matter." He meant the mayor, judges, anyone in a position of power, they're all guilty.
- Barbara Kean: But that's not true.
- James Gordon: That's how he feels. That's how they all feel. Everyone. That's why the city embraced him. Because we let them down. But if people take the law into their own hands, then there is no law. And we're lost. There are cops who do it. Same thing he did.
- Barbara Kean: But *you* never would.
- James Gordon: Do you think I could?
- Barbara Kean: No. I know you Jim Gordon. And I love you. And now I'm gonna get you a drink.
- [a knock at the door]
- Barbara Kean: I'll get it.
- [opens the door and seeing who it is]
- Barbara Kean: Jim?
- Oswald Cobblepot: Hello James, old friend...
- Lt. Bill Cranston: Bullock tells me you're a real boy scout. Don't think we should be roughing up the skells?
- James Gordon: They *do* have their rights.
- Lt. Bill Cranston: I'll have to remember that. Maybe I'll get that tattooed on my ass.
