[Bruce Wayne talks to Jim Gordon about no longer being part of the GCPD]

Bruce Wayne:
You were going to find my parents' killers. You were going to fight for justice. You were going to clean up the GCPD. Change Gotham.

James Gordon:
I had hoped to do that.

Bruce Wayne:
If you remained with the GCPD, you might still be able to do all those good things, but first... you must do something ugly. And your personal honor forbids that.

James Gordon:
Yes.

Bruce Wayne:
Are you not sacrificing the greater good for the sake of your dignity and self-esteem? For vanity?

Alfred Pennyworth:
Steady on, now, Master Bruce. Manners.

Bruce Wayne:
He walked all the way here to discuss the issue Alfred, I'm simply asking a question. Surely, sometimes, the right way is also the ugly way.
