[Theo Galavan talks to Detective Gordon about giving him an endorsement for mayor]

Theo Galavan:
That night at the gala, I... I keep going through it.

James Gordon:
Me, too.

Theo Galavan:
I've never killed a man before. Fear... blood... I relive that moment over and over. Do those thoughts ever go away?

James Gordon:
No. But over time they lose their power. You did the right thing.

Theo Galavan:
I guess I did. I'm kind of amazed at myself. You, doing the right thing, you do it every day. That's why people speak so highly of you. You're a symbol to the people of this city - Of hope, of honor. That's why I'm here. I would be honored... if you would consider... endorsing me for mayor.

James Gordon:
Ah, endorsement. I'm flattered, but, uh, I'm afraid policemen and politics don't mix.

Theo Galavan:
Maybe not for a cop on the street, but you're the president of the Policeman's Union. Where you lead, officers will follow. That's more power than the kind that comes out of a gun.
