Gotham, Season 3

Bruce Wayne:
Is there a plan for all this madness?

Jerome Valeska:
These people don't want a plan. They want an excuse. A mother who dreams of strangling her child. A husband who wants to stab his wife. All they want is someone to tell them, "Do it. Kill them. It doesn't matter." It doesn't. [turns to dunk tank game, where a hostage is suspended over a tank of piranhas] Ooh, I love this game!

Bruce Wayne:
You won't get away with this.

Jerome Valeska:
Already did. Now shush. Need to concentrate.

Bruce Wayne:
A few dozen brainwashed maniacs can't take the city hostage forever.

Jerome Valeska:
Well, duh!

Bruce Wayne:
So what's the point?

Jerome Valeska:
The point is that all these people out here looting, robbing, killing, they're the people who wash your car, who pour your coffee, who take out your trash. And what happened the minute the lights went out? They showed their true faces. They showed how quickly they wanna open up your rich boy veins and bathe in your blue blood. That is the point.

Bruce Wayne:
That's not true. There are good people in Gotham.

Jerome Valeska:
[laughs] Like who? The sheep who lock their doors and crawl under their beds? Face it, kid: Gotham has no heroes.
