I used to spend a lot of my time wanting to be just like my father. I wanted to be powerful and held in such high esteem. Then I realized that that was all a farce. He didn't know what he was doing. He was just good at acting like he did.

Your father was the same, just as everybody is, James. The sooner you realize that, the easier it'll be for you to be who you really are.

Can we spar instead? It's easier to get rid of all that bollocks.

[ he has no clue what you said, dad. ]

I hope you always land on your feet, Selina, I really do.

Sweet as sugar?

That's the most endearing thing you've ever said.

[ she's feeling confused. ]

Spend your time winning things that are worth your effort, Butch. This is the first and ONLY time I'm ever going to say this.
You undermine yourself too much. You're worth a lot more.

And if I choose not to? What will you do about it?

[ fyi you're just going to have to deal with fish holding you in high esteem, gilzean. ]

I can wear that. I'm at home, I can wear whatever you want. Or not wear. You catch my drift.

Blue green it is.

fyi gordon
a robbery at a jewellery store is about to go down near the lady who sings building
you should probably get on that
bring some water cannons

[ bye jim!!! ]

Pretty sure he at least wasn't constantly in over his head and swimming against the stream. But thanks for the pep talk.

Why did you want to come back to Gotham?

[ selina doesn't reply for a long time. ]

i liked her, too.
i wish all the people i liked would stop leaving.

[ or dying. but what's dying in gotham these days? ]

[This face.]

The esteemed James Gordon is at home? Has crime stopped for today to allow little Lee a moment of his time?

We'll have to make good use of it. Don't you think?
