Zed Martin quotes from Constantine

Zed

I need to know, should I be scared? For John, I mean?

Anne Marie

He's in a bad way. But John believes he has every situation under control, and he makes you believe. That's his magic. And his curse.

John

[Takes keys from Chas] I've got this one, mate. I put you guys through the ringer on this one. I suppose if I was to offer my thanks, you wouldn't believe me, either.

Chas

Probably not.

Zed

Not for a second.

John

Well, if you're sticking around for the ride, you better buckle up. What we turned up in Mexico is just the start. We're poking a stick at an evil, the likes of which the world hasn't seen in centuries. [Points keys at them in false-pride about to walk up stairs with Chas taking keys from John and walks past him up stairs ]

Zed

Why do you want to help me? Why do you believe me?

John

I survive on instinct. Mine tells me that you're all right. It doesn't hurt that you're easy on the eyes as well.

Zed

Wish I could say the same.

John

Oh, thanks.

John

I want to tell you something about me that nobody knows. I wake up every morning, and for the first five minutes of the day, I imagine that everyone I care about is dead. I lie there, and... I meditate on that. So that when it inevitably happens, then, uh... it lessens the blow.

Zed

Then what do you do?

John

I spark a ciggy and fry an egg.

Zed

A tumor's causing my visions. That explains a lot doesn't it? Cold hard science.

John

Humans always look for narrative and causality. Nothing that he just said suggests that this mass and your visions are linked in any way.

Zed

You don't want to believe it.

John

The girls were taken by a Satanist.

Zed

Why? What does he want them for?

John

A full moon symbolizes rebirth, but the blood moon most likely sacrifices to usher in the new cycle.

Zed

Do you believe in fate?

I don't know. I guess I just... think what's meant to be will be.

Zed

I saw you dead. You asked me before if my visions always come true and I saw you dead.
