Lines by John Constantine 3

Constantine

[to Nora Darhk] Girl, listen to me, listen to me. As smart as Ray is, he doesn't understand what you're about to do. Choosing a life of magic, you're either all in or you're not. There's no half-measures. And you and I both know it never leads to a happy ending. [shows Nora visions of a handsome black man] So if you're gonna do this... you don't do it for Ray. You don't do it for me. You do it for yourself, all right? It's your choice. [starts to lose consciousness] Your choice... it's your choice. [passes out]

Constantine

[to a comatose Nora] I would've come sooner, Nora, but... do you have any idea how difficult it is to acquire a phoenix's tail feather? I didn't.

Constantine

Of all the way that I thought I'd go: decapitated by a demon, eviscerated by an elemental, I wouldn't have picked being at home with my mates.

Scenes with John Constantine 36

I thought we gave the Englishman to the Time Pigs.

That was Rip. This is John Constantine.

Skinny brit in a trenchcoat. Same thing.

John Constantine

Oooh, doubtful, mate. You see, I'm an accomplished warlock, an expert of the occult, and a master of exorcism. I'm also a Taurus, for those of you taking notes. [winks at Leo Snart of Earth-X].

I thought this was all over. The bloodlust, the fight for my soul, all the crap that I've had to endure.

Constantine

Well, there's always more crap to endure. Take it from one who's damned his own soul to Hell. There was a... a girl. In Newcastle. Astra. I failed her.

Some might say you should forgive yourself.

Constantine

Well, if I could, then perhaps I wouldn't have the need to save the likes of poor Nora. What about you? Have you forgiven yourself for your sins?

I don't deserve forgiveness.

Hey! Before you go, I, uh... I just wanted to say "Thank you". For helping me with Mallus, that is.

Constantine

Oh. Of course. Helping you with Mallus was... good for me, too. If you ever need me to help you with Mallus again, just give us a call. I'll be right there. Although there are lots of people out there with very weird demons. They all need my help.

Mmm. I understand.

Constantine

Good.

And thanks for the shag, too. That was great. [Sara walks away, leaving Constantine speechless, then chuckling.]

Constantine

There isn't exactly a paint-by-numbers spell for locating a spaceship floating through a temporal stream. My business card says "Master of the Dark Arts", not Doctor bloody what's-his-face.

Who?

Who.

Constantine

Exactly.

Constantine

You know, there's a reason why I prefer to walk this path alone. It's, uh... so I don't have to share with anyone how lost I really am. But you're not alone, are you Sara?

Maybe I should be.

Constantine

She's a good one (Ava). Try not to hurt her.

That's what I'm afraid of.

Constantine

I need a word with you sorry lot. [throws down a large bundle and removes the covering, revealing a decapitated dragon's head] Now, whose brilliant idea was it to let an ancient demon out of his bloody cage?

[thumbing at Sara] Sara's.

Constantine

Well, you opened the door, love. And Mallus wasn't the only thing that got out.

Constantine

Look, this is your bloody mess, Sara, so stop playing tiddlywinks with the missus and get ready for the fight that's coming.

What if this is who I am now?

Constantine

Really? [whistles] This is who you are. Fuzzy throws and... fluffy pink slippers.

I like my pink fluffy slippers.

Constantine

I'm just trying to look after you, love. You and I are similar. We're both survivors, but our survival comes at a terrible cost. Look, you can take it from a man who's caused nothing but misery to everyone he's ever loved. Trust me. End it with Ava before it's too late.

You ever think that you cause misery not because of some romantic "I was born to walk alone" crap, but because you're an ass who doesn't know how to trust people?

Constantine

You know, I trust. The people around me get hurt, killed or far, far worse.

You think that I'm not scared? That I don't know grief? I'm not willing to turn my back on life, because that is exactly what you're doing, John. Our friends and family, they don't make us weaker, they make us stronger. You know what you need? You need to be a part of a team.

Constantine

This is King Solomon's original grimoire. The oldest magical textbook in existence. Now, if there is a spell to quell our equine friend, it'll be in here.

Well, not to pressure you, but the entire fate of the sexual revolution is in the balance here.

Constantine

That is my favorite revolution.

I thought that's why we had Constantine.

Yeah,... about that. Constantine is–

Constantine

[entering the bridge dragging a steamer trunk] –tired, hung over, and in need of a stiff one. Dealer's choice as to what that's a euphemism for.

All I want is to make the world a happier place.

Constantine

Well, you got (Prudence's) mother thrown in the bloody clink. And what about that bloke who had his eyes pecked out of his skull, eh?

[hard] That man was a liar. They are all liars. And simple-minded pests like that must be taught a lesson.

Constantine

Ooo, "pests". Intriguing choice of words.

Before Prudence, all the girls I helped were just take, take, take. "I want a new dress, godmother." "I want to go to the ball, godmother." So I gave and I gave, no matter how absurd the request. I mean, who would ever choose to wear glass slippers? Imagine the blisters! And what did I get in return? A thousand years locked away in a dank and miserable dimension.

Constantine

So it was humans who put you away, eh? Well, it serves you right, you bitter old nag. You don't want Prudence happy. You want her raging. That's how you settle the score, by using a child's anger to rain down hellfire on those poor bastards out there.

[The Legends, considering Charlie a dangerous monster, are willing to banish her, and Constantine opens a portal to send her to Hell.]

I'll show you what a real monster looks like. [shapeshifts to Sara] Like this. [to Mick] Like someone who'd rather do what's easy [to Zari] than figure out what's right. [to Constantine] Someone who'd send an innocent to Hell.

Constantine

[to the others] Don't fall for its bloody parlour tricks.

Ray said your team's moral compass is missing. [shapeshifts to Amaya in her disco look] Can you send her to Hell?
