Gotham? It's either in your blood or not, honestly. You've gotta be born here. I'm kind of glad you aren't made for Gotham.
[Blink, blink.] I know a lot about feeling lonely. When I got pregnant, there weren't a lot of people around. My boyfriend was a vigilante whose real identity I didn't know, my baby's dad was MIA after the earthquake, and my dad was a deadbeat douchebag. And when you're fifteen? Friends wanna go out and get shit-faced. Not hang around at Lamaze classes. So, it was lonely. And I thought for a while, towards the end, that keeping the baby would solve all that. I'd have someone around all the time! Someone who had to love me because I was her mom. Right? [...] But it wasn't right. It's really, really selfish to use a baby to fix a problem. A baby isn't a solution. It's a person to love and grow and cherish and not throw your own shit at. [Blink, blink. Bliiinnnkkk.] So. I just mean. If you start to feel lonely again, don't think that the baby is going to fix that. It's not.
