Quotes 

• [Jim Gordon starts to kick Barbara Kean out of his apartment when she asks for a favor]

  James Gordon : Good-bye, Barbara.

  [when Gordon shuts the front door on Barbara] 

• [Barbara Kean and Jim Gordon exchange their plans to talk to The Lady] 

  James Gordon : Let me guess. You're gonna talk to The Lady for me, get the information I need, if I just... what? Trust you?

  Barbara Kean : No one like's a smarty-pants. So what's your plan, then?

  James Gordon : My plan?

  Barbara Kean : Mm-hmm.

  James Gordon : My plan is to stick a gun in The Lady's face and have her beg me not to pull the trigger. Until she tells me everything I want to know.

  Barbara Kean : [Barbara smiles]  The Gordon special. I remember it well.

• [first lines] 

  James Gordon : [Jim Gordon holds his gun on Barbara Kean who stands outside his apartment door]  Hands up. Hands up!

  Barbara Kean : Okay. Look. Better?

  James Gordon : Come inside.

• [Jim Gordon asks Barbara Kean why she's helping him with the Wayne case] 

  James Gordon : Why are you doing this?

  Barbara Kean : I was there. Remember? When you first caught the Wayne case. I know what it means to you. You think that if you solve it, you can close the door on the past. And maybe, just maybe, it'll stay shut. And then you'll be able to start over. And you really have to ask me why I'm doing this?

• [Barbara Kean tells Jim Gordon that he's the image she's been holding on to] 

  James Gordon : Let's say you've changed. What do you care what I think?

  Barbara Kean : Because when I woke up from that coma, the first image I saw was your face as you were holding onto me from the church window. You were trying to save me. Because in that moment, you didn't see the monster. You just saw me. That's what I've been holding on to. Because I feel like if you could just look at me like that again... I'd be okay. I'd make it.

  James Gordon : You want to be a better person?

  Barbara Kean : Yes.

  James Gordon : That's your choice to make.

• James Gordon : What are you doing here?

  Barbara Kean : I was released. Call them, you'll see. I'm telling the truth. It's what I do now.

  James Gordon : That's hard to believe.

• Barbara Kean : Don't be mad.

  Bruce Wayne : I was tied to a chair and nearly killed. Again! What should I be feeling?

  Barbara Kean : Gratitude?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm not feeling that.
