Quotes 

• [Miss Kringle talks to Dr. Thompkins about Edward Nygma, as Nygma listens in from outside the lab] 

  Kristen Kringle : [Kringle talks giddy about Edward]  He is so gentle and kind. Almost too gentle. I think a man needs to have a little... a little fire, a little danger, don't you think?

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Thompkins' chuckles]  Oh, I don't know about that.

  Kristen Kringle : And sometimes I - I feel like he's holding something back.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Like a secret?

  Kristen Kringle : I don't know. I just... I guess I just wish he would open up a little more.

• [Edward Nygma enters the lab and greets Miss Kringle and Dr. Thompkins] 

  Edward Nygma : Good morning. Miss Kringle, Miss Thompkins.

  Kristen Kringle : Hi.

  Edward Nygma : What do you call a three-legged cow?

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : I am terrible...

  Kristen Kringle : Lean beef.

  Edward Nygma : Or supper. At my place.

  Kristen Kringle : [Edward hands Miss Kringle a coffee]  Oh... Ed.

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Miss Kringle holds her coffee mug to Miss Thompkins, seeing the cream in the shape of a heart]  Aw.

• [Edward Nygma and Miss Kringle have dinner together] 

  Kristen Kringle : I swear, I'm gonna get plump.

  Edward Nygma : I won't stop it. I want nothing more but to spoil you.

  Kristen Kringle : [Miss Kringle blushes]  Oh, Ed. So forceful.

• [Edward Nygma tells Miss Kringle the truth about killing, Officer Tom Dougherty] 

  Edward Nygma : Um... Some time ago, he and I had an altercation. I asked him to treat you with more respect.

  Kristen Kringle : Oh, my God.

  Edward Nygma : And he said he would treat you any way he liked, and he assaulted me.

  Kristen Kringle : Oh, my God!

  Edward Nygma : So, anyhow, long story short... I killed him.

  Kristen Kringle : [Miss Kringle laughs uncontrollably]  Oh, Ed, that's... you had me going for a minute, there.

  Edward Nygma : It was outside of your apartment under the elevated train. I stabbed him and he died.

  Kristen Kringle : Ed, that's not funny.

  Edward Nygma : I'm not being funny.

  [Nygma gets up from his bed, and returns with a police badge] 

  Kristen Kringle : [Miss Kringle reads the badge in Nygma's hand]  'T. Dougherty'.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma smiles with a big grin asking]  Do you believe me now?

  Kristen Kringle : [Miss Kringle's face fills up with fear]  Oh, my God.

• [Miss Kringle accuses Edward Nygma of being a murderer for killing, Officer Tom Dougherty] 

  Kristen Kringle : I don't even know who you are. No, that's wrong. You are a murderer.

  Edward Nygma : He was a monster! You said so! He was abusing you.

  Kristen Kringle : I can't believe I even fell for you, you sicko.

  Edward Nygma : I'm not sick. I love you. I did it for you.

  Kristen Kringle : Everything I ever thought about you, I was right. I need to have my head examined.

  Edward Nygma : Don't say that.

  Kristen Kringle : Wait, what were you doing outside my house?

  Edward Nygma : I was worried for you.

  Kristen Kringle : You were stalking me. You are a psychopath!

  Edward Nygma : That is not true! That's not who I am! Don't say that about me.

  Kristen Kringle : You are going to prison where they will do horrible things to you. Things that you deserve.

  Edward Nygma : Don't say that to me.

• [Miss Kringle fights Edward Nygma as he tries to tell her he's in love with her] 

  Kristen Kringle : No, let go. Don't touch me!

  Edward Nygma : [Miss Kringle slaps Nygma in the face]  Oh.

  Kristen Kringle : Let go of me, you freak.

  Edward Nygma : Please don't call me that.

  Edward Nygma : [Miss Kringle slams a glass in Nygma's face]  Oh!

  Kristen Kringle : [Miss Kringle tries opening Nygma's apartment door, screaming]  Help!

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma covers Miss Kringle's mouth holding her into the wall]  Listen to me. I am not the man that you think I am. I would never do anything to hurt you.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma strangles Miss Kringle's neck with his other hand]  I had to kill him because he hit you. Do you understand that? I did it for you.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma tightens Miss Kringle's neck and mouth in his grip]  I promise I will never do anything to hurt you ever again. I love you. I've loved you since the first moment that I saw you.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma loosens his hands, lightly crying and smiling, as Miss Kringle's lifeless body slides to the floor]  Kristen? Kristen? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... no, no.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma listens to Miss Kringle's chest, feeling her neck for a pulse]  Oh, no, plea... Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Please. Please, no. No. No.

  Edward Nygma : [Nygma holds Miss Kringle in his arms, finally crying and screaming out]  No!
