I know things have been a little… Odd, given recent circumstances. But you have been a friend to me for what’s been nearly a year.
For that, I don’t know. It would’ve been out of place if I didn’t give you something.
And besides… This seemed right up your alley.
S
Well. This is…this is perfect, actually. Thank you, Selina.
…I’m going to be a target? But for—
The storm…you being at the manor. It wasn’t about pearls, was it. You were there for something else. The injuries that Thomas has been seeing at Gotham General for months…the same on bodies we’ve found in the culverts…the shoot out at the bar with Gillies being a side show, what in the hell is going on, Selina?
*Poker-faced and pensive, a moment’s quiet. Then —*
You’ll just have to wait and see. I don’t say this often. But I’m sorry, Harl.
With what’s coming… It’s every girl for herself. Band together, and you’ll be broken.
You’re sorry…just what side of this storm are you on?
“Just a shrink” will matter more than the higher-ups. Trust me.
The storm was coming. Now, it’s here.
Who are they? …Oh, Dr. Quinzel. Everyone.

You say that now.
Things are changing. Which means, sooner or later, he’s gonna come back.
And then… They’ll be looking for his friends.
I’m just a shrink for the local police department. My opinion only reaches so far.
Things are changing in Gotham. You think that it will get to the point where the Batman will have to return?
Who are they?
Even in the GCPD?
Careful. Don’t let that — what’s his name. Foley? — hear you.
That’s as maybe. I can only really speak for myself. As for Deputy Commissioner Foley…my opinion isn’t all that important when it comes down to it.
You know where he lives, I’m sure you can drop by back.
I’m not condescending. Trust me, you’d know it for certain. It’s too bad that I’m collaterally involved. As for Gillies, he might be an idiot, but he’s an influential one. I hope he was worth the trouble you’re in.
You talk to me as though you think you’re gonna change my mind. Like it’s my first time, and that my guilt is higher than my need. It’s not happening.
Oh, and I’d much rather have charges pressed against me than I would be rotting at the bottom of the river. Gillies came in handy, served his purpose. He’s alive, isn’t he? Problem solved. Now, so am I.
Have you pawned the necklace, then? You’re living with Patrick, do you have a need for money? Or is this about something else, something more? Why did you infiltrate the manor and take the congressman?
It sounds like you are in more of a mess than you’re letting on. If your life is at stake, we can help. At least let me try. Why are you pushing me away?
I’d rather talk to Bruce Wayne about this than deal with your guilt-tripping as the middle man, Dr. Quinzel.
Don’t condescend. You weren’t involved.
Gillies is an idiot.
