Listen, Dio. I am not long for this world.

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*
Bullies: Erina's a cry-baby! Erina's a cry-baby! Erina's a cry-baby!
Bully 1: Are you her friend?
I've never met her in my life!
[Jonathan attacks, but is easily knocked down as the bully notices his handkerchief]
Bully 1: Now that I know you're some rich man's kid, I've only just started!
[After Jonathan is beaten up by Erina's bullies, and Erina attempts to help him up.]
Pant pant... Let me be! [Slaps Erina's hand away] Whatever you think, I did not do this for you!
I wish to conduct myself as a gentleman! A true gentleman is brave and comes to the aid of those in need. Even if it's a fight he has no chance of winning, he joins the fray! One day, I will get strong enough to win.
[Jonathan walks off, leaving his hankerchef behind for Erina to pick up.]
Erina (reading the name): Jonathan Joestar.
This is the tale of two young men, their destinies bound to intersect, and the stone mask that changes their fates forever.
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!
(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-
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 (monologue, after beating Jonathan in a boxing match): Loneliness will devour a man from within. I'll reduce JoJo to an empty husk. Bit by devious bit, I'll steal the life he was meant to have. By the time we're grown, there'll be nothing left of him!
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!
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!"
"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!"
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!!"
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 kicks Jonathan in the face.]
Dio (monologue): "Perfect! Right in the face!"
[However, Jonathan grabs Dio's head to counter.]
"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?"
Y--- You… How--- How dare you…?! Bastard! How dare you strike me?!
I’ll make you regret that, you filthy cur!
Dio (monologue): "Once I learned to control my temper, I will be invincible to even the likes of him."
Dio (monologue): For seven years, I have to make nice with that buffoon. But now that I am of age, it is time for my plan to reach its fruition. At long last, the Joestar fortune will be mine. And Devil take anyone who tries to stop me.
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)
You do the honors, Tattoo.
Use that shiv of yours to slice him open! I want his guts for garters!
Ogre Street is aptly named.
Tattoo(to Jojo after he grabbed his knife): Check out this idiot! He grabbed by blade! In all my days, I've never seen the like! Stuck, ain't ya? One quick yank and you'll be picking your fingers out of the snow for a fortnight.
Try it, then! The moment you pull, my foot will kick out at your groin with all the force of a sledgehammer! I'm willing to see our transaction through. Are you, sirrah?
If you're lookin' to lose body parts, do stick around! Observe! (Reveals the blades on his bowler hat) I'll mince ya right finely, with a tip of the hat. And now we dance!
I took the lad for an easy mark. Guess I've been right disabused of that notion!
