Crack, Bliss, dоpе, Drops... it's all the same shit. Same winners, same losers. So, you call yourself whatever the hell you want, but when my Oswald puts a bullet in that pretty little skull of yours, I'll be tap-dancing on your grave, like Ginger fucking Rogers."

Trivia[]
- In DC Comics, Esther Cobblepot is the overprotective mother of the Penguin, her youngest son, who was nothing but loving and caring towards him growing up, in contrast to her cruel husband Tucker and older sons: Jason, Robert, and William. In her old age, Esther would go on to suffer from catatonia after tragically losing most of her family, with exception of her youngest son who would go on to take care of her until she ultimately passed away. She is sometimes confused with Miranda Cobblepot, the paternal aunt of the Penguin, who has been depicted previously as his mother as well.
