Quotes 

• [Hugo Strange and Ms. Peabody discuss the release of Barbara Kean from Arkham Asylum] 

  Ethel Peabody : If you keep releasing lunatics so liberally, you're going to get a bad reputation.

  Hugo Strange : I'm not looking for a good reputation. We're releasing Barbara Kean into the wild to observe her behavior. She's a beautiful experiment.

  Ethel Peabody : You know what she's going to do, don't you?

  Hugo Strange : I don't, actually. But I do know it will be interesting.

• [Hugo Strange listens to Barbara Kean talk about her recovery] 

  Barbara Kean : I... murdered my... parents. I cut their throats. Um... I joined a gang of psychopathic killers. I tried to kill Jim Gordon and Lee Thompkins. I was a puppet of these demons in my head and they were forcing me to do these terrible things. I wish I could go back and undo what I've done. Only I can't. I don't feel insane... now. I just... I feel sad.

  Hugo Strange : Thank you, Barbara. That was very brave. What do you suppose made this healthful change in you?

  Barbara Kean : Maybe I just... really needed some sleep.

• [Hugo Strange tells Ms. Peabody that Barbara Kean intrigues him] 

  Hugo Strange : One way or the other, she intrigues me.

  Ethel Peabody : Well, if you would allow us to apply rigorous dream therapy, we would know, for sure.

  Hugo Strange : Oh, no, no, no. We do have a very useful hammer, Ms. Peabody, but not all of our patients are nails.
