[Jim Gordon comforts Barbara Kean in the interrogation room]
Barbara Kean : Don't act all calm and businesslike. Rough me up a little, if you want.
James Gordon : I don't want to do that. I don't want to hurt you. I want to help you.
Barbara Kean : I know... you want to hurt me, just a little. I've been a very bad girl.
James Gordon : No. You're a good woman. You're just sick, is all.
[Barbara cries in her hands before looking up a bit shocked, as Gordon sits on the table beside her, kissing her on the lips]
Barbara Kean : [Barbara laughs with tears in her eyes] I knew it. I knew you still had feelings for me.
James Gordon : Of course I have feelings.

Barbara Kean : Mmm...
Father Callahan : Do you take James Gordon to be your unlawfully wedded husband to have to hold...

[Jim Gordon speaks to Barbara Kean in the interrogation room]
James Gordon : They said you'd only talk to me. I'm listening.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara quietly whispers] Yes. Here it is.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara quickly states] Is there any chance I could get a latte or something?
James Gordon : This is not a game, Barbara.
Barbara Kean : Oh. Of course it is. It's a game you've been losing. Big-time.
James Gordon : It is not a game.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara chuckles] It must be killing you. All that righteous indignation with no place to go.

[Doctor Thompkins talks to Jim Gordon about Barbara Kean still having a hold over him]
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : This is you, Jim. This is all you. She sucked you right back in, didn't she? Because she still has a hold on you. Her sickness and yours feed off each other.
James Gordon : What do you mean my sickness? I'm not sick.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : You see an abyss, and you run toward it. That's not healthy.
James Gordon : I'm just doing my job.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara walks out in chains] Hey, Lee. You don't mind if I borrow him for a little while, do you?
[Barbara continues to walk, chuckling]

[Barbara Kean marches down the aisle of a Cathedral to the tied up Jim Gordon]
Barbara Kean : [Barbara hums the song, 'Bridal March' to herself, holding a double-barreled pistol in her arms] I know.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara faces Jim in the wedding dress, which she bought for her marriage to Gordon when he previously asked to marry her] Do you believe it still fits?

[Barbara Kean talks to the tied up Jim Gordon in her wedding dress, in the Cathedral]
Barbara Kean : Well, this is my wedding dress. The tailor still had it in storage. I mean, can you believe the luck? Or fate.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara aims her weapon at the priest] That's father Callahan. You remember him, of course.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara aims her weapon to the church members] And these bozos... Oh! Who knows? But you can't have a wedding without witnesses. That's the law.
James Gordon : Barbara...
Barbara Kean : Jim... Please don't act all surprised or aggrieved. You knew, from the start, that this was a trap. But you thought, 'Hey, let the bad guys take their best shot. I'm Jim Gordon. I'll find a way to win. Or die.'
Barbara Kean : [Barbara grabs onto the chair Jim is tied up in] It's option B, baby. Your fondest wish to come true.
James Gordon : [Gordon turns his head] I don't want to die.
Barbara Kean : Oh. Hey. Sure you do. Aren't you tired of hiding your true self? Tired of lying to yourself? To Lee?
James Gordon : [Gordon looks at Barbara] I don't lie to Lee.

[Barbara Kean talks to the tied up Leslie Thompkins about truth, in the Cathedral]
Barbara Kean : The Jim Gordon you know is an act. He's like an addict who thinks he can dabble in darkness as long as nobody sees the needle marks.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Everybody has an act.
Barbara Kean : Did he tell you how he got reinstated with the GCPD?
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : He killed a man for Penguin.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara frowns at Jim] Wow! Very good, Jim. You did tell her.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : We don't have secrets between us. He's done a lot of things that he's not proud of. Everyone has.
Barbara Kean : But you love him anyway... Is that right? Despite all his faults.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Lee looks at Jim] Yes, I do.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara pulls Lee's hair to look at her] Cute little do-gooder, Dr. Lee, mmm... In love with a cruel, cold, death-obsessed sadist.

[Barbara Kean holds a knife to the tied up Leslie Thompkins neck, in the Cathedral]
Barbara Kean : [Barbara pulls a knife out from her bridal crown] Do you think you know him better than I do? I love him, too, you know. I know him better than you do.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Okay, Barbara, I hear you. You love him. We both love him. That's okay.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara holds the knife into Lee's neck] But I love him more.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Lee stammers] Okay, listen, Barbara. I know that now. Please...
Barbara Kean : [Barbara tightens the knife in Lee's neck] I'm gonna prove that I love him more. I'm going to carve your pretty face off your skull. And then you both will understand what true love is.
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [Lee stammers faster] Okay, just one more thing.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara whispers] What?
Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Your dress. I - I love your dress. I just want to know where you bought it.
Barbara Kean : [Barbara stands back pulling the knife away] Hmm. Oh, um...
[Gordon escapes from the ropes of the tied up chair]

Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Gordon, Bullock come in.
Harvey Bullock : Go ahead, Captain.
Captain Nathaniel Barnes : I don't like this. You're boxed in. There's lots of cover, high vantage points all around.
Harvey Bullock : Perfect spot for an ambush
Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Yeah, I gotta pull you out.
Barbara Kean : Turn around, you get nothing.
James Gordon : Not yet.
Captain Nathaniel Barnes : You hear me? I'm pulling you out.
Harvey Bullock : What was that, Captain? You're breaking up.
Captain Nathaniel Barnes : Bullock! I swear to God, if you disobey

Captain Nathaniel Barnes : ...
