James Gordon
- [Valerie Vale shows up at Jim Gordon's front door]
- Valerie Vale: Morning. Surprised to see me?
- James Gordon: Not really. What do you want?
- Valerie Vale: I have a proposition.
- James Gordon: Not interested.
- Valerie Vale: Oh, come on. Think of it as a way to say 'I'm sorry for handcuffing you to a car door.'
- James Gordon: Except I'm not.
- [Valerie Vale asks for Jim Gordon's help to get the story]
- James Gordon: What's in it for you?
- Valerie Vale: A story.
- James Gordon: That's it?
- Valerie Vale: It shocks you that I love my job and I want to be good at it?
- James Gordon: Kinda. Why not just bring her in yourself? Why give me a million dollars?
- Valerie Vale: Because I'm a bigger person than you. And... because I couldn't find her.
- [Jim Gordon walks into Barbara Kean's bar]
- Barbara Kean: [Barb smiles uncontrollably] Oh... my... God.
- James Gordon: Hello, Barbara.
- Barbara Kean: 'Hello, Barbara'? Is that all I get?
- James Gordon: [Gordon hesitates] How you been?
- Barbara Kean: [Barbara smiles] Oh. How've I been? Well, see for yourself. I mean, it's no art gallery, but there's less chance of me dying of boredom.
- [Barbara Kean meets Valerie Vale]
- Barbara Kean: How's Lee?
- James Gordon: We're not together.
- Barbara Kean: No. I thought by now you would've chased her down, put a ring on it. Did you dump her? Oh, I bet you dumped her, didn't you? You're such a heartbreaker.
- Valerie Vale: I feel like I walked into something.
- Barbara Kean: [Barb turns to Valerie] 'Cause you did. Who are you?
- Valerie Vale: Valerie Vale. I work for The Gazette. We're working on a project.
- Barbara Kean: [Barb whispers] I bet. She your new girlfriend?
- James Gordon: No.
- Valerie Vale: No.
- [Barb chuckles]
- [Barbara Kean offers Selina Kyle's whereabouts to Jim Gordon but only for a kiss]
- James Gordon: Selina, have you seen her?
- Barbara Kean: [Barb leans into Jim Gordon] A kiss. That's my price.
- Valerie Vale: Is she serious? Are-are you serious?
- Valerie Vale: [Valerie whispers behind Gordon] Do it.
- James Gordon: [Gordon pauses before backing away] Never mind.
- Barbara Kean: [Barb sighs] You're honestly no fun.
- [Barbara Kean tells Jim Gordon that she had a dream about him]
- Barbara Kean: Jim. I had a dream about you the other night. You were in this horrible accident, and you lost both of your legs, and then I had to push you around in a giant baby carriage.
- James Gordon: Good seeing you, Barbara.
- [Valerie Vale locks Jim Gordon out of the car]
- James Gordon: Hey. Open the door.
- Valerie Vale: You should've let me come to find Peabody.
- James Gordon: Vale!
- Valerie Vale: And, you know what, I like your ex.
- [Valerie drives off without Gordon]
- [Valerie Vale tells Jim Gordon that they're even after both successfully ditching each other]
- Valerie Vale: Can we call this even? You got me. I got you. It's over. Let me buy you a drink.
- James Gordon: Yeah... it's over when I get Fish. You can read about it.
- [Jim Gordon tells Captain Barnes that they can't reach Harvey Bullock]
- James Gordon: Harvey isn't answering his phone. Nobody knows where he is.
- Captain Nathaniel Barnes: Well, you could start by looking in every place in Gotham that serves booze.
- [Jim Gordon walks up to Harvey Bullock as a second hostage]
- Harvey Bullock: Jim, what the hell are you doing here?
- James Gordon: Saving you; I thought that was obvious.
- Harvey Bullock: Oh, yeah. Totally. Thank you.
- [Jim Gordon tells Fish Mooney that he showed up to the mansion alone to save Bullock]
- James Gordon: I'm here on my own. I only want Bullock.
- Fish Mooney: Really? You'd risk your life for this broken down old thing?
- Harvey Bullock: Thanks.
- James Gordon: He'd do the same for me.
- Harvey Bullock: I would, it's true.
- Fish Mooney: Well, you've helped me, 'cause now I have two hostages.
- James Gordon: Barnes won't see it that way. Hell, you kill me, he'll probably thank you. I've been nothing but a pain in the ass to him.
- Harvey Bullock: Also true.
- [Penguin receives a phone call from Jim Gordon]
- Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin smiles] Jim, you just keep surprising me.
- James Gordon: [Gordon on the other end] Shut up.
- [Jim Gordon looks to the pile of dead monsters being burned]
- James Gordon: Tell Barnes something, would you?
- James Gordon: [Harvey Bullock nods his head] I'm going home.
- [Valerie Vale questions Jim Gordon about him being the one to let Fish Mooney escape]
- Valerie Vale: You promised to help Fish escape, but you did it by double-crossing her and delivering her to Penguin.
- James Gordon: If that were so, I'd be a millionaire by now.
- Valerie Vale: Except Fish isn't dead. Penguin would've dragged her in front of the mob if she was.
- [last lines]
- Valerie Vale: [Jim Gordon tells Valerie Vale to shut up for once] Who the hell are you, Jim Gordon?
- James Gordon: [Gordon slowly walks up to Valerie's face] Wait...
- James Gordon: Shut up for once.
- [when Gordon kisses Valerie on the lips]
