Gotham第一季 经典台词 I
Jim: However dark and scary the world might be right now, there will always be light.
Don Falcone: We need a culprit before the funeral, Pepper was sacrificed so that the people of Gotham would see swift justice done. So they can feel safe and secure.
Jim: And that matters so much to you.
Don Falcone: Of course, I’m a businessman, you can’t have organized crime without law and order. I love this city and I see it going to hell，but I won’t let it fall without a fight.
Harvey：You have killed people before.
Jim: That was war.
Harvey: This is war. We’re at war with scumbags like him. Sometime in war you got to do a bad thing to do good, right? So do you do this bad thing or do you die and maybe your girl dies? I might be lackadaisical, hmm? But that’s not a tough call.
Oswald: There is a war coming, a terrible war. Falcone is losing his grip, and his rivals are hungry. There will be chaos. Rivers of blood in the streets.
Jim: He was a vet.
Harvey: I salute his service. Now he’s a dead bum.
C1: You don’t bend, you’ll get broke.
Alfred: Well I imagine the criminals of Gotham are sleeping well tonight.
Bruce: He killed people before, that made him a criminal.
Jim: Everyone has to matter or nobody matter.
Balloonman: Who are you fighting for? A mayor in the Mob’s pocket? Cops on the take? Or the weak and the innocent?
Olswald: Well, as you know war is just politics by other means. And isn’t politics just money, talking?
Bruce: “A new Arkam Asylum will serve the mentally ill of Gotham in the ways the present asylum never can. Those poor, sick souls deserve our help” My mother wrote that she and my father fought for years to get a new asylum built. They thought that if they can help the city’s least fortunate（贫苦百姓）, it would there hope for everyone. I just don’t want my parent’s dream to die with them.
Jim: … This isn’t just about the asylum. If there is a fight between Falcone and Maroni, This could be the spark that ignites a citywide gang war. Innocents will die. Whatever little faith people have that the police can protect them, it will be crushed.
