Quotes9

  • Oswald Cobblepot: I can't be bought, but I can be stolen with one glance. I'm worthless to one, but priceless to two. Love.
  • [hearing the crowd on television cheering for him]
  • Oswald Cobblepot: They love me.
  • Edward Nygma: If you would've bought the election, you would've never known. But now you do.
  • Edward Nygma: [Penguin chuckles] Feels good, doesn't it?
  • Oswald Cobblepot: How did you know I would win?
  • Edward Nygma: I believe in you, Oswald. Even when you don't believe in yourself.
  • [Edward Nygma tells Penguin that Arkham Asylum made them both stronger]
  • Edward Nygma: I do believe, Oswald, Arkham has made us both stronger.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: I couldn't agree more. Which is why I had our release certificates framed. A reminder of past struggles and new beginnings.
  • Edward Nygma: If I didn't know better, I'd accuse you of being a sentimentalist.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: Guilty.
  • Edward Nygma: I can't be bought, but I can be stolen with a glance. I'm worthless to one, but priceless to two. What am I?
  • Oswald Cobblepot: I don't care. I do not need a stupid riddle right now.
  • Edward Nygma: If it weren't for you, I would still be falling asleep to the screams of the insane.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: It becomes almost a white noise after a while, doesn't it?
  • Edward Nygma: It does.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: My beloved mother always believed in me. Even when I doubted myself, she held firm. Seeing all of your bright faces reminds me that there is nothing you cannot do if you put your mind to it. And when I am mayor, I believe... no... I know that together, we will make Gotham safe again!
  • Little Girl: Mr. Penguin?
  • Oswald Cobblepot: [with a smile] Hello, there.
  • Little Girl: I wanted to thank you for getting rid of all the monsters.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: [to Nygma] Do you see? People look at me differently now. For the first time in my life, I feel wanted.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: [holding out hand for a payoff] Nice doing business with you.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: Give me one reason why I shouldn't let Butch kill you where you stand.
  • Edward Nygma: Well, there are about thirty witnesses...
  • Oswald Cobblepot: I don't care!
  • Edward Nygma: [pointing to a television] And there's that.
  • [Penguin turns around to see the crowd cheering on the television that he has won the election]
  • [the Penguin tells Butch Gilzean that he's no longer cut out for the job]
  • Oswald Cobblepot: You never believed I could win this election on my own. I think maybe you're not cut out for this after all.
  • Butch Gilzean: [about Nygma] What? You got to be kidding me. This guy...
  • Oswald Cobblepot: [Penguin shouts] Don't worry. I still need someone to crack skulls.
  • Oswald Cobblepot: It is with a humble heart that I accept the trust placed in me by this great city to become your mayor. The people have spoken, and I have heard their call. And as my first act as mayor, I would like to introduce you to my chief of staff, Mr. Edward Nygma!
