TV show quotes
Didn't take you for a religious one.
I don't know what I am... but I like to believe there's a guiding hand in it all.
Guiding... judging... damning. He's a jack-of-all-trades, really. I mean, I'm not critiquing, really, but I'm pretty sure he's not very keen on me.
How can you be so cynical?
Oh, wouldn't it be lovely if I wasn't? Could've been a better man if I hadn't seen it all. Yes, angels exist. Sound the bloody trumpets. As for religion, yeah, all right, be nice to your neighbor and all that, but... the world isn't all puppy dogs and rainbows. You can't just pray evil away. Still have to fight, hard, on our own.
What do you need them to tell you?
Where my powers come from, for starters. I mean, do they come from God or somewhere else?
Doesn't matter where they came from. What matters is what you do with them and what it costs you.
Getting a little bit knackered here, mate. I could really use your help about now, yeah?
I brought this on myself
Look, you got a little bit of power, and you got off your trolley, yeah? It happens. All we need to do is keep them at bay until Zed makes it to the angel, so do us a bloody favor. Pull your head out of your ass and give us a hand, yeah?
What's it like? Pain.
It comes in waves. You feel helpless. You can't fight it. It becomes about making it to the other side, shrinking your world down to one fine point. When that wave melts away, you feel relief. Just for a moment, till it comes back to remind you.
So you feel pain now, but... what was it like the first moment the sun hit your skin? How good was that?
I always figured that one of us would flee to Mexico, but I thought there'd be tequila involved. Or skinny-dipping.
Did you know we were coming to a convent?
It's one gory detail she left out.
Should've shagged you then, but instead I introduced you to my world.
It was a world of wonders.
Which you followed into Hell.
Her name isn't Louise. It's Lamashtu. Eve's younger sister and a bit of a glorified vampire.
I taught you about Lamashtu. She doesn't kidnap her prey.
What does she do?
She enjoys babies for their nutritional value and lucky for you, she's curbing her hunger, though I can't conceive why. Lamshtu lives to feed.
Maybe the question is... what makes keeping Hugo's litter alive?
We're nobody. We're good Catholics. We got nothing to hide.
Maybe someone's hiding something from you.
I always thought God was listening.
Ah, let the Almighty take His time out. We got plenty to occupy ourselves with, like figuring out which one of Eve's sisters is behind all this.
Now you're standing in for God. Make way for John Constantine.
I'm telling a desperate man that that there are things we can do to get his son back other than pray.
If you need me, scream.
That won't be a problem for me.
You kneel here, night after night, hoping against hope that Heaven hears your words. Well, guess what, John has Heaven on speed dial. Someone up there thinks he's worth a damn, and now he's dying because of you.
I got to admit, I never thought you'd do anything this stupid.
I'm John Constantine. I do stupid in spades.
You know, I probably never got the chance to say this, but, uh... I know what I put you through, and, uh... I'm sorry.
No, you're not. John Constantine doesn't do sorry. Pity it took me almost 20 years to figure that out.
This demon will try to use our weaknesses against us. If it emerges, don't listen to it. It won't be John.
I hope I can tell the difference.
