Lines by Dio Brando 8
Drunkard 2 (takes out a knife after seeing his friend get hurt by Dio): Just for that, I'm gonna cut you!
Dio (to drunkard): Ohh. Your threat has been quaking in my boots, you old guttersnipe. How will I escape this mortal peril? How about I use this? (Takes out the mask.) It's for JoJo. But you'll make a nice guinea pig.
Drunkard 2: Just die already!
[Dio plants the mask on the drunkard, using his knife to slit the first drunkard's throat. The mask activates, but ends anti-climatically.]
DioYou've disappointed me, mask.
[Dio is about to leave when the a now-vampirized drunkard attacks him, grabbing Dio by the throat while sucking the blood out of him.]
Drunkard 2: It's odd. I've been drinking through the night, but suddenly I've got such a brutal thirst.
Dio (monolongue while screaming in pain): So this is the power of the Stone Mask?...I have such plans. Must the last thing I see on this world be this damnable sunrise!?
[The vampirized drunkard is reduced to dust to Dio's shock.]
[During the fight between Dio and Jonathan in the burning mansion, while Jonathan is clinging to Dio.]
Dio
Die for nothing, fool!
[Dio kicks Jonathan away; Jonathan screams as he begins to fall into the flames.]
Dio
All I lose is the sacrifice of your blood I would've taken. Blacken and burn among the bones of your damnable father, Jojo! I am a god in all but name! With the powers at my command, I will rule this world! Thank you, brother, for this great boon!
Jack the Ripper (killing a harlot he lured to murder): Shoulda made an early night about it, harlot! Big mistake!
Dio
Most men's hearts are restrained by mortal, recoiling in fear from the fabulous fruits of evil. But some do not constrain themselves to the mortality and its tyranny. They are the Vanguard. Serve me, Jack the Ripper. Submit yourself to me, and I shall give powers beyond your belief. I ask for only one thing in return.
Dio (killing a girl for her blood): With each meal, a bit of my strength returns... What a simple thing, the food chain. As pigs feed on grass, so does man feed upon them. And I, at the top of it all, feed upon the humans. They exist to serve me and quell my thirst. (crushes the dead woman's skull) Go, Jack, it’s supper time.
(The zombified Jack eats the girl's corpse)
Dio
Now to swell the ranks of my diabolical army and send it hence. I will stand astride this world! Humanity will kneel at Dio Brando’s feet!
Dio
They are knights, casualties of Queen Eliz's machinations against Mary, Queen of Scots, in the 15th Century. I leave them to you. Dispose of these vermin, in whichever way you will!
[After Bruford and Jonathan hit the water, with Tarukus keeping Speedwagon and Zeppeli from interfering.]
Dio
(Thought) Jonathan is good as dead. He cannot match Bruford underwater. (Outloud) I shall go. There is no reason for me to remain! I shall turn this sleepy village into a necropolis. The zombies I'll create will devour England like a plague, and then the world!
DIO
Polnareff, have you ever considered why humans wish to live? Humans live hoping to conquer their anxieties and fear, and attain peace of mind. Seeking fame, controlling others, and acquiring wealth are all done to achieve peace of mind. Marriage and friendship are also pursued as means of attaining peace of mind. When humans say they wish to help others, or that a thing is done for love or justice...it's all merely to give themselves peace of mind. To achieve peace of mind is the goal of all mankind. Now, given that, what anxiety could you possibly feel towards serving me? Any other peace of mind would come easily if you do. Doesn't challenging me, even knowing that it may spell your death, bring you anxiety? You are a very capable Stand user. It's a waste to kill you. Why not cut ties with Joestar and the others, and serve me for eternity? I can promise you peace of mind for eternity.
It's USELESS! USELESS! USELESS! UUUSSSEELLLESSS!!!
WRYYYYYY!
Behold, THE WORLD!
Once more, THE WORLD!
THE WORLD! GRIND TO A HALT!
MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!
ZA WARUDO!
[A romanization of DIO's Stand name, The World.]
Scenes with Dio Brando 23
DDario
Listen, Dio. I am not long for this world.
Dio
...
DDario
When I die (cough cough) you get yourself to the Joestar mansion along with this letter. The fool thinks he owes me. This is your ticket to greatness. It's your only chance, Dio. Go out there and take this useless world for all you can get.
(Later, at Dario's grave)
Dio (monologue): Devil that you were, you drove mother to an early grave. I'm glad you're dead; may you burn for your sins. The riches that eluded your grasp -- I will claim them in excess. You lacked the cunning to take what you wanted, but I'll prevail! (Outloud) Now burn! *spits on his father's grave*
Dio
And you must be Jonathan, heir of the Joestars.
That is Danny, my loyal and steadfast friend. Don't worry, Danny knows not to pounce on strangers.
[As Danny approaches, Dio kicks the Great Dane upside his head to Jonathan's horror]
What was that for?! How dare you!
Dio (monologue): So this is the brat I must usurp. He wears his heart on his sleeve and is quick to anger....This pampered fool is nothing for the likes of Dio Brando!
Dio
(While grabbing Jonathan by his ear after knocking him over) Know this. I may be your guest in your home but I'm not one to be trifled with. In all things, I am number one! Look down upon me and you will regret it!
But Dio, I want us to be friends-
Dio
And another thing, I despise all mongrels. They don't scare me, I just can't stand them fawning over the unworthy. So keep your mangy mutt away from me, Joestar!"
Dio (After forcefully kissing Erina on the lips): Tell me... Have you and JoJo kissed yet? I'll take that as a no. You thought your first kiss would be JoJo, but it was I, Dio! (Monologue) Even though it was by force, the fact that I kissed her is enough! I've killed their romance before it began! I'll deny Jojo the comfort of friendship AND love!!
[Dio and the bullies then see Erina washing her lips with the muddy puddle she's in, infuriating him.]
B1Bully 1
What the-?! Just look at her, Dio! She's taking leave of the senses! What's wrong with her? That's disgusting! Washing out her mouth with a muddy puddle?! Why would anybody do that? There's a stream not far away!
Dio
YOU UNGRATEFUL WENCH! YOU DARE SUGGEST MY KISS IS SOMETHING TO BE WASHED OFF! (monologue) Cool your temper, you damnable fool. She's not worth losing your head over!.
Jonathan (Storming into his home in rage): "DIIIIIOOOOOO!"
Dio
"Hush, boy! You won't speak my name in vain again if you know what's good for you!"
"We end this now! I won't let you sully an innocent maiden's honor! Your fight with me, damn it!"
Dio
Upset about Erina? That she shared her favors with me. And now you intend to give me a proper thrashing for my impudence."
[charging Dio] "This time, Dio, YOU HAVE GONE TOO FAR!!"
Dio
You may be right, but you're the one who will PAY! [knocks the wind of out Jonathan] Looking to repeat your performance from our boxing match, be my guest! [Overpowers Jonathan before knocking him into the wall.]
Jonathan (monologue): "I can't beat him. But if I lose now, I'll spend the rest of my life cowering in Dio's shadow. Most of all, I have to fight for Erina's honor.. She needs a champion!"
[Dio throws his shirt as he is about to finish the fight.]
Dio (monologue): "Time to put an end to this little pissing match. I'll beat him here in his own home. Once and for all, he'll know his proper place in this world is under my heel! He'll see that it's useless to try and defeat me! I shall be master, now and always!"
[Jonathan attempts to charge at Dio]
Dio
"Come on!"
[Dio kicks Jonathan in the face.]
Dio (monologue): "Perfect! Right in the face!"
[However, Jonathan grabs Dio's head to counter.]
Dio
"How are you able to grab me after such a blow to the head?! Perhaps I was too gentle with you!"
[Dio suddenly finds himself getting pummeled on by Jonathan]
Jonathan (pummeling Dio): DIOOO! I'm going to beat you until you cry like a baby, Dio!
Dio (monologue): "Impossible! Impossible! How could a pampered brat like him best me in a fight?"
Dio
Y--- You… How--- How dare you…?! Bastard! How dare you strike me?!
Dio
I’ll make you regret that, you filthy cur!
Dio (forced to swear on Dario's name that he was not poisoning George): How can I swear...on the honor of the man who had none...? HE DESERVED TO DIE! HOW'S THAT FOR THE TRUTH, JOJO?!
(blocks Dio's punch) You gave me all the proof I need. I know not what compelled you to murder Dario, but murdered him you did. (blocks an attempted thumb-jab to the eye) You'll hurt father never again! (flings Dio over the stairs)
Dio
Damn your eyes...
Dioː JoJo, it was hubris that led me to this ignominious end. This fall from grace has taught me a valuable lesson. However one may scheme or assemble, my downfall this night is part of the human condition... A condition that I now forsake.
Wait, forsake? What do you mean?
Dio
You see, I am about to become so much more! [Brandishes the Stone Mask] Help me shed this mortal skin!
Dio
JoJo! Your blood is the key!
[George intercepts the stab wound.]
[Dio laughs as he puts on the mask while activating it with George's blood while being gunned down by the constables.]
