Oswald Cobblepot • Penguin
- [Edward Nygma tells Penguin the type of man he is]
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma walks up to Penguin] Mr. Penguin. For some men, love is a source of strength. But for you and I, it will always be our most crippling weakness.
- Oswald Cobblepot: Move aside, Ed.
- Edward Nygma: We are better off unencumbered.
- Oswald Cobblepot: What did you say?
- Edward Nygma: You said it yourself. Your mother is dead because of your weakness. But what you need to realize is that your weakness was her.
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin grabs a knife and shoves it up to Nygma's neck, screaming] My mother was a saint! The only person who truly cared about me, and now she's gone! And now I have nothing left.
- Edward Nygma: A man with nothing that he loves... is a man who cannot be bargained. A man that cannot betrayed. A man who answers to no one... but himself. And that is the man that I see before me. A free man.
- [Edward Nygma confesses to Penguin that he's murdered people]
- Edward Nygma: Recently, I've been going through a sort of change. 'What kind of change?' You ask.
- Oswald Cobblepot: I didn't.
- Edward Nygma: I've started murdering people.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma takes a deep breath before chuckles] Wow! That is thrilling to say out loud.
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Nygma laughs] How many people?
- Edward Nygma: Three in total.
- Edward Nygma: [Penguin scoffs] Two of them I really didn't care for. But one was my girlfriend, Miss Kringle. She was the love of my life.
- [Penguin gives Edward Nygma his advice]
- Oswald Cobblepot: My empire is in ruins. I'm a wanted man with no friends. And my mother... the one person I swore to protect is dead because of my weakness.
- Oswald Cobblepot: [inhales sharply] Believe me when I tell you that this path you're on leads to nothing but destruction and pain.
- [Nygma grins]
- [Edward Nygma wakes up the Penguin]
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma leans forward] Hello, sleepyhead.
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin begins panting] Where am I?
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma quickly stammers] Rapid movement and elevated heart rate are counterproductive with the healing process.
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin starts screaming] No! No! Don't kill me!
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma stabs a needle into Penguin's neck] Apologies in advance.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma's voice talks distortedly to Penguin] Rest up, my feathered friend. We have a big night ahead of us.
- [Edward Nygma asks for Penguin's advice]
- Edward Nygma: I have no ill intentions towards you.
- Oswald Cobblepot: Then what are your intentions?
- Edward Nygma: I need advice, Mr. Penguin. These murders... changed me. And like the butterfly, I've come to realize that I cannot be a caterpillar once again. And you're one of the city's notorious killers. I brought you here, in part, because I was hoping you could guide me on this new path.
- [Edward Nygma gives Penguin a riddle as Penguin lays in bed missing his mother]
- Edward Nygma: I can bring tears to your eyes and resurrect the dead. I form in an instant and last a lifetime. What am I?
- Oswald Cobblepot: A memory.
- [Edward Nygma and Penguin go into Edward's closet to get the tied up Galavan lackey]
- Oswald Cobblepot: My mother always said a party is not a party without entertainment.
- [Edward Nygma reintroduces himself to the Penguin]
- Oswald Cobblepot: You drugged me.
- Edward Nygma: That was for your own benefit, Mr. Penguin. You have extensive injuries.
- Oswald Cobblepot: I know you.
- Edward Nygma: Ed. Nygma. We met once before at the GCPD.
- Oswald Cobblepot: You're not a cop.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma laughs] Oh, no, no, no. No, I'm in forensics. Do you believe in fate?
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin realizes he's in Nygma's pajamas] Where are my clothes?
- Edward Nygma: Oh, I threw them away. They smelled.
- [Penguin tells Edward Nygma a story about his mother]
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin sniffles] Every night when I was young, my mother would sing that song to me when I was going to bed. And every time, she would tell me, 'Oswald... don't listen to the other children. You're handsome and clever. And some day, you will be a great man'. She said that every time. That's all I have left now. Memories. And they're like daggers in my heart.
- Edward Nygma: [Nygma replies with a stern face] Not forever.
