The New Batman Adventures (TV Series)

Judgment Day (1998)

Paul Williams: The Penguin, Oswald Cobblepot

Quotes 

• The Penguin : My dear fellow, I contacted all my usual sources, but I'm afraid it's just not a seller's market.

  Killer Croc : What's that supposed to mean?

  The Penguin : [pulls out a briefcase]  $50,000 for the diamond. Not a penny more.

  Killer Croc : That's robbery! That rock's worth 10 times that much!

  The Penguin : Don't forget, as a legitimate businessman, I have my expenses too: taxes, overhead, labor.

  Two-Face : And they call me two-faced.

• The Judge : Is there no honor among thieves, Mr. Cobblepot? And you're worse than a thief. Trafficking in stolen goods.

  The Penguin : I don't know who you are, sir, but I assure you, my transactions were all legitimate. You see, I had no actual knowledge that the items were stolen. Given that, I don't see how the law can touch me.

  The Judge : I am the law... and I find you guilty!

• The Penguin : Harvey, you're early. I was able to procure a slightly better price on your items.

  Two-Face : I see you do have half a brain. Enough not to low-ball me.

  The Penguin : Naturally.

  Killer Croc : So what am I, a sap?

  The Penguin : You're free to take your business elsewhere. But, of course, who else can guarantee my level of confidentiality?

  [growling, Croc takes his money, and he and Two-Face turn to leave] 

  The Penguin : As always gentlemen, it was a pleasure doing business.

  [to his employees, Raven and Lark] 

  The Penguin : See that they find their way out. Come back again any time. The door's always open.

  [putting money and the diamond into a safe] 

  The Penguin : Now, Harvey, if you ever knew what I really cleared.
