The Devil quotes from Brimstone

Ezekiel Stone

Going up or down?

The Devil

Guess.

The Devil

You know, before they invented the elevator, I had to walk all the way from hell.

Ezekiel Stone

Glad to hear it.

The Devil

Second throughts, Ezekiel?

Ezekiel Stone

Can't you find someone else to torture?

The Devil

Millions of them. They can wait. Everyone's in such a rush. I say, stop and smell the burning flesh of sinners.

Stone

Where were you ten minutes ago? I could've used your help.

The Devil

Help? I don't feel as if I know you well enough.

Stone

What's with you? Do you want me to catch these freaks or not?

The Devil

Of course. I want you to catch every last one. But I'm the Devil, old boy; I can't change my stripes.

The Devil

You don't have any friends, Ezekiel. You're not only really dead, you're really most sincerely dead.

Ezekiel Stone

Isn't that from "The Wizard of Oz"?

The Devil

I HATE that movie.

Ezekiel Stone

You loved her, didn't you?

The Devil

I never loved anyone but God, and that was a long time ago.

Ezekiel Stone

It's not New York any more. Nobody wants to walk around here. Plus, the buses suck.

The Devil

Now wait a minute. Fifteen years in Hell, now you're back on Earth and you're complaining. Oh, because you have to walk. You're not going Hollywood on me, are you, Zeke?

Ezekiel Stone

Why don't you try and just enjoy some of the beautiful things in this world? Just one. Try it on for size.

The Devil

Believe me, it won't fit.

Ezekiel Stone

You really push a man to the brink.

The Devil

I am the brink.

Ezekiel Stone

Do you know anything about faith?

The Devil

Faith? I was present at its creation.
