Memorable Quotes from Nathan Gamble
2 quotesConfrontation Over Pain and Identity
James Gordon
I'm sorry about Rachel. The doctor says you’re in agonizing pain, but won't accept medication. That you're refusing to accept skin grafts.
Harvey Dent
Remember that name you all had for me when I was in Internal Affairs? What was it, Gordon?
Gordon
Harvey, I—
Dent
Say it...SAY IT!
Gordon
Two-Face. Harvey Two-Face.
Dent
Why should I hide who I am?
Gordon
I know you tried to warn me. I'm sorry. Wuertz picked you up. Was he working for them? You know who picked up Rachel? Harvey, I need to know which of my men I can trust.
Dent
Why would you listen to me now?
Gordon
I'm sorry, Harvey.
Dent
No. No, you're not. Not yet.
[turning to reveal the burned left side of his face]

The Battle for Gotham's Hope
James Gordon
The Joker won. All of Harvey's prosecutions, everything he fought for: undone. Whatever chance you gave us of fixing our city dies with Harvey's reputation. We bet it all on him. The Joker took the best of us and tore him down. People will lose hope.
Batman
They won't. They must never know what he did.
Gordon
Five dead, two of them cops? You can't sweep that up.
Batman
But the Joker cannot win. Gotham needs its true hero.
Gordon
No!
Batman
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I can do those things, because I'm not a hero, not like Dent. I killed those people. That's what I can be.
Gordon
No. No, you can't. You're not!
Batman
I'm whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call it in.
Gordon
...A hero. Not the hero we deserved, but the hero we needed. Nothing less than a knight, shining...
[speaking at Dent's funeral]
Gordon
We'll hunt you.
[to Batman]
Batman
You'll hunt me. You'll condemn me, set the dogs on me, because that's what needs to happen, because sometimes truth isn't good enough. Sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.
[runs]
Gordon's Son
Batman? Batman! Why is he running, Dad?
Gordon
Because we have to chase him.
Police sergeant
Okay, we're going in. Go! Go! Move!
Gordon's Son
He didn't do anything wrong.
Gordon
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him, because he can take it, because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian — a watchful protector — a dark knight.
