Quotes 

• [Penguin admits to the murder of Theo Galavan] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : I took Galavan to the river and killed him. Slowly.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : You confess to murder?

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yes, I do. Proud of it. I'm not a criminal, you know? I'm just... insane.

• [Captain Barnes interrogates Penguin about what happened at Theo Galavan's that night] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Why don't you start with the moment right after you knocked me out with that vase?

  Oswald Cobblepot : I'm sorry for that. Such an exquisite vase.

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [Barnes' face remains still]  This is my amused look.

• [Captain Barnes shows up at the GCPD with the Penguin in handcuffs] 

  Captain Nathaniel Barnes : [the police clap]  Silence! What are you a bunch of cheerleaders? This is not a game! This is our job! And this... specimen... this is just one sad pathetic skell. There are plenty of scumbags out there. Plenty. So stop waving your pom-poms and go catch some.

  Oswald Cobblepot : Yeah, stare all you want. Big whoop. You got me. I'm cool. It's all good.

• [Edward Nygma asks Penguin in his prison cell if he can help in any way] 

  Edward Nygma : Is there anything I can do to help?

  Oswald Cobblepot : I'm beyond help. Forget me, my friend. But if you would take care of my mother's grave, I would be very grateful. If you'd visit occasionally, tell her I'm thinking of her.

  Edward Nygma : I will.

  Oswald Cobblepot : She likes lilies.

  Edward Nygma : Occasional visits, lilies, check.

• [Penguin reveals to the Arkham Asylum inmates that he's the King of Gotham] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : [standing on the cafeteria table]  There seems to be some confusion. My name... is Oswald Cobblepot. Many of you, no doubt, will have heard of me.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin sees that most of the inmates haven't heard of him]  Some of you, clearly, have not. For those poor, ignorant souls, I offer illumination. I am not a man to be trifled with. Oh, no. I am powerful. I am vicious! I am the King of Gotham.

  Loonie #3 : [one of the loonies whispers]  He think he's the King of Gotham.

  Loonie #1 : [a loonie stands up and screams]  I'm King of Gotham!

  Loonie #2 : [another follows]  No, I am the King of Gotham!

• [Penguin meets Hugo Strange for the first time] 

  Oswald Cobblepot : Am I being punished?

  Hugo Strange : Oh, no. I make it a point to meet all the inmates. It's part of the intake protocol. Though I will ask you to refrain from making speeches atop the cafeteria tables in the future.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin smiles]  I'll do my best.

• [Hugo Strange asks how Penguin is adjusting to Arkham Asylum] 

  Hugo Strange : Periods of great transition can bring out great... stress. Surely this must be a traumatic experience for you.

  Oswald Cobblepot : [Penguin chuckles]  Please. This is a pillow fight compared to what I've been through.

• [Hugo Strange threatens Penguin with his treatment programs] 

  Hugo Strange : Don't worry, here at Arkham we have a number of intensive treatment programs. I am more than confident that we'll be able to facilitate your... rehabilitation.

  Oswald Cobblepot : My what?

  Hugo Strange : Rehabilitation. That's why you're here, after all. To be cured of your sickness. You are sick... aren't you?
