Quotes 

• [the Clock King suddenly enters Hill's office] 

  Mayor Hamilton Hill : You! But how did you get past...

  The Clock King : Good evening, Mayor! Nice to see you again too. And whose life are you ruining now? A poor pensioner? A malnourished orphan, perhaps?

• Mayor Hamilton Hill : And so, my friends, it is my privilege to officially bring Gotham City's new courthouse to order.

  The Clock King : [watching from across the street]  By all means, Mr. Mayor, usher the new building in with a bang.

  Mayor Hamilton Hill : [straining to pick up his mallet, to laughter from the crowd]  This could be dangerous. Better stand back.

  The Clock King : [turning on his time device]  Oh, to savor the moment as long as possible.

• The Clock King : A trial run, and it went like clockwork.

  [casually throwing the priceless timepiece away] 

  The Clock King : Hmm. Got one.

• The Clock King : Good afternoon. Have they sold the Louis XVI yet?

  Woman : Uh, no. The bidding just started. How did you...

  [seeing he's gone in the blink of an eye] 

  Woman : I gotta see my optometrist.

• The Clock King : What are you doing in my room?

  Dr. Wataki : I-I called for you, but got no answer. I thought something might be wrong.

  The Clock King : There is something wrong, old man.

  Dr. Wataki : [seeing the time device on his waistband]  Why are you wearing that?

  The Clock King : I'm afraid I haven't been altogether candid with you.

  Dr. Wataki : What... what are you going to do?

  The Clock King : You'll find out, my good doctor. All in good time.

• The Clock King : Even if you could climb the building, you won't be leaving this way, Mr. Mayor. I've waited a long time for this.

  Mayor Hamilton Hill : Please, Fugate, don't hurt me.

  The Clock King : If it's any comfort, my revenge will encompass more than just you. I intend to pass a most timely sentence on the entire judicial system.

• Temple Fugate : 6:15, sir. Time for breakfast. I've also brought you your medicine and the timer so you can take your pills on schedule.

  Dr. Wataki : You think of everything, don't you, Harold?

  Temple Fugate : It is my job, sir.
