Quotes 

• James Gordon : Why did you kill your mother, Jerome?

  Jerome Valeska : Oh, you know how mothers are. She just... kept... pushing. And I'm like, "Fine, Mom. Be a whore. Be a drunken whore even. But don't be a *nagging*, drunken whore." You know? "Don't come yell at me to do the dishes if you've been banging a clown in the next room!"

  [hits table] 

  Jerome Valeska : [calms down]  You know?

  [hysterical laughter] 

• James Gordon : [interrogating]  How do you feel about your mother's love life?

  Jerome Valeska : I feel fine about it. If not for my mother's love life, I wouldn't be here, would I? Sex is a healthy human activity.

• James Gordon : Come on, you're a doctor. A scientist.

  Leslie Thompkins : There are plenty of things in this world that can't be explained by rational science.

  James Gordon : Yeah, people who enjoy folk dancing, for instance. Doesn't mean ghosts exist.
