• [last lines] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : [to Gordon]  Yet in the darkness there will be light. That's what you promised Master Bruce all those years ago in the alley. You saved him. Gave him hope.

  [a shadowy figure flies behind Gordon. Bullock notices it] 

  Harvey Bullock : Holy mother.

  [Gordon, Bullock and Alfred see the figure looking down at them] 

  Harvey Bullock : Who is he?

  James Gordon : A friend.

• James Gordon : What do you want, Jeremiah?

  J : Is there a Jeremiah here?

  James Gordon : So what do I call you?

  J : Uh... I don't know. Call me... Jack. Mm, no, no, no, that's not right. Joseph. John. Jay. I-I don't know. I just - I feel something new crawling from the primordial ooze that was me. Something... beautiful.

  James Gordon : How long have you been pretending to be brain-dead?

  J : How long have *you* been pretending? That's a joke. I know you're not pretending.

• Oswald Cobblepot : Remember when we stood here, Jim, all those years ago? Don Falcone wanted you to shoot me. You refused. Now don't you wish you done it?

  James Gordon : Everyone will know you did this.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Let them! We both know that this has been a long time coming. Our story is over, old friend.

  James Gordon : You want to kill me, fine. But there's no need to attack the Wayne gala.

  Oswald Cobblepot : What are you talking about?

  James Gordon : Breaking Nygma out of Arkham. The attacks on the gangs. What do you think, you're gonna be able to to destroy Wayne Tower and no one's gonna notice?

  Oswald Cobblepot : I don't know what you're talking about. You and I stood shoulder to shoulder on those barricades, ready to die for this city. Six months later, you lock me up like an animal! This begins and ends with you and me!

• Harvey Bullock : So, he comes out of nowhere, saves you and Barbara Lee, and just disappears?

  James Gordon : Yeah.

  Harvey Bullock : So, the dude's on our side?

  James Gordon : I think so.

• Barbara Kean : So... did you hear from Bruce?

  James Gordon : No.

  Barbara Kean : Ten years and not a word. But I'm assuming he'll be at the gala at Wayne Tower tomorrow. I want to see the look on his face when I tell him in three months, he won't have the tallest building in Gotham any more. Hmm. Think he'll recognize you with that caterpillar on your top lip?

• Leslie Thompkins : [notices Jim's clean-shaven face]  Whoa.

  James Gordon : Yup. It was time to admit it. I was trying something. It didn't work. You liked it, right?

  Leslie Thompkins : Totally.

• Alfred Pennyworth : [to Bruce and Harvey]  Good evening, gentlemen. Master Bruce sends his profound apologies. He's otherwise engaged.

  James Gordon : He's been busy a lot since he came back.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Yes, indeed. And I hear that you're retiring.

  James Gordon : I may stick around a while yet.

• James Gordon : GCPD! I know you're here. Show yourself.

  Batman : I am not your enemy.

• Alvarez : Penguin gets released today

  Alvarez : You think...?

  James Gordon : Yeah, put a tail on him
