Quotes 

• [Penguin threatens Theo Galavan to kill him] 

  Theo Galavan : Kill him. Dump the bodies... anywhere.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Theo begins to walk off as Prnguin growls with rage]  You don't have the stomach to kill me yourself? No wonder why your family was run out of town. You come from a long line of cowards!

  Theo Galavan : [Theo scoffs and walks up to Penguin]  Fine, fine.

  Theo Galavan : [Theo cocks a pistol, aiming it down as he asks Penguin]  Any last words?

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin quietly growls]  Yes. I'm going to kill you.

  [Penguin slices Theo Galavan's neck with a knife before running to jump out of the building window] 

• [Theo Galavan talks to Bruce Wayne about having feelings] 

  Theo Galavan : Your feelings do you credit. I never met your father, but it's clear that he instilled in you a sound moral compass.

  Bruce Wayne : He did.

  Theo Galavan : You know, we're both... very alike. Born into wealth and privilege, yet forced to walk our lives alone. Haunted by loss. Driven to prove ourselves worthy to those who came before. Be careful, Bruce. That way of thinking - The need to fill a void - It can consume you.

  Bruce Wayne : Does it ever go away?

  Theo Galavan : No. But you can find closure; a way to move on without letting go.

  Bruce Wayne : How?

  Theo Galavan : Well... I don't want to make any promises, but when the time is right, we'll talk again.

• [Jim Gordon comes face-to-face with the real Theo Galavan] 

  Theo Galavan : I had high hopes for you. I thought you were prepared to make the hard choices, to do whatever it takes to rid Gotham of its monsters.

  James Gordon : I am. I've just decided... I'm gonna start with you.

  Theo Galavan : Dangerous words... when addressing the man who now controls the city.

  James Gordon : Desperate times.

  Theo Galavan : They are indeed.

• Theo Galavan : [giving a press conference]  Men such as Penguin will no longer be tolerated. These are men who scurry from the light of decency like cockroaches. Men who not even a mother could love.

• [Silver St. Cloud reminds Theo Galavan her loyalty] 

  Silver St. Cloud : [Silver holds her pinky finger up]  See this finger? I've got little Bruce wrapped tight around it.

  Theo Galavan : What a little vixen you've become. You make me very proud.
