Oswald Cobblepot:
[Oswald Cobblepot fires a shotgun into the air over a dinner table of criminal guests] Gentleman! Ladies! Others! Let us discuss the future with a little civility, shall we? So... not one of you knows who orchestrated and/or executed the Arkham breakout. I find that hard to believe. I mean, the cops' only lead is an old blind man, for God's sakes. A blind man! Then who here is to be trusted. Because someone knows.

Gang Leader:
Uh... we thought it was you.

Oswald Cobblepot:
Why would I do that? We never had it better. I gave you all of the freedom in the world and business boomed. For all of us. A new generation. Then that ginger maniac had to spoil everything. Even now he's dead, public is still terrified, business is in the can and what do we do? Fighting among ourselves. Is this how any of us want to live? Squabbling, brawling, running, hiding? This city belongs to us now. But kids, that brings responsibilities. We need to restore confidence in our brand, if you will. We need discipline and unity, yes? There will be no more chaos. No more gang wars. No more blood in the streets, scaring decent folk. From now on, if you want to kill someone, blackmail, steal, or kidnap anyone, I need to hear about it first. Understand?
