Gotham, Season 1

Fish Mooney:
I grew up not too far from here. One bedroom, cold water. Just me and my mama. I used to sleep in a bed behind the curtain. It's where I would hide when she entertained men. And that's where I was when he killed her. One of Falcone's men. Didn't like the service. I hid there, silent, until morning. With my mama two feet away from me. That night, I made a promise.

Liza:
To get revenge.

Fish Mooney:
To never again be powerless. To never let any man, any man, be over me. This is about keeping that promise to that little girl.
