Quotes 

• [Jim Gordon offers Valerie Vale breakfast and a shower] 

  James Gordon : You want some breakfast? There's a place around the corner.

  Valerie Vale : Pass. I have to be at City Hall in an hour. I have to go home and shower.

  James Gordon : I have a shower.

  Valerie Vale : No, you have a dark hole in the wall with no water pressure and one damp towel.

• [Jim Gordon tells Valerie Vale that he can try to make his apartment a little nicer] 

  James Gordon : Well, I'm collecting my bounty from the GCPD today, so, uh, I can stop on my way home, make things a little... nicer.

  Valerie Vale : Yeah, good luck with that.

• [the Mad Hatter hires Jim Gordon to find his sister Alice] 

  Mad Hatter : I want you to find my sister. We're very close. We lost our parents at an early age. I became her guardian. But her condition proved too much for me. I sought help. The worst kind. The fiend, Professor Strange.

  James Gordon : Her condition?

  Mad Hatter : Some poison in her blood. Very rare. Unique, in fact. He took her in. Said she needed constant supervision. He wouldn't let me see her.

  James Gordon : You go to the police?

  Mad Hatter : Useless. This is Gotham after all. The years passed and I lost hope. But then I heard about the breakout. I assumed she escaped with others. But now she is out there. Alone. Afraid.

• [Jim Gordon asks Selina Kyle for if she's seen the woman Alice] 

  Selina Kyle : What do you want?

  James Gordon : I'm looking for someone. I think you may have seen her.

  Selina Kyle : And if I have, why would I tell you?

  James Gordon : She's in trouble, and I can pay you.

• [Jim Gordon meets Leslie Thompkins' fiancé Mario Falcone in the ER] 

  Mario Falcone : [Mario stitches Gordon's head]  Look, Jim, I don't know where your head's at with all this, but I want you to know that I love her very much. I'm gonna take good care of her.

  James Gordon : [Gordon pauses]  Good to know.

  Mario Falcone : So we're okay?

  James Gordon : Yeah. Sure. Why wouldn't we be? Lee and I are old news, water under the bridge. Won't get any problem from me. Uh... wish you both nothing but the best.

  Mario Falcone : Thank you. All done.

  James Gordon : But, uh... you ever were to hurt her, I'd have to hunt you down and kill you.

• [Alice saves Jim Gordon's life from someone infected] 

  James Gordon : Hello, Alice.

  Alice Tetch : I wasn't sure how he turned.

  James Gordon : Turned? What's wrong with him?

  Alice Tetch : He's infected.

  James Gordon : Infected with what?

  Alice Tetch : With me.

• [the Mad Hatter hypnotizes Jim Gordon] 

  Mad Hatter : Do you hear my watch ticking?

  James Gordon : [the watch ticks]  Yeah.

  Mad Hatter : Listen closer. The ticking, it synchronizes with your heartbeat, yes?

  Mad Hatter : [the watch ticks slower]  Look into my eyes. Not above them, or around them, into their center. Are you asleep, Jim?

  James Gordon : Yes.

  Mad Hatter : Show me. Take out your gun and put it on the ground.

  Mad Hatter : [Gordon puts his gun down]  Good. Now walk to the edge and climb onto the wall. Been such a long, hard road for you, Jim Gordon. You are so very tired of life, aren't you?

  James Gordon : Yes.

  Mad Hatter : [as Gordon climbs outside the ledge of the building]  Now you can rest, Jim. Close your eyes. Sleep forever.
