Preacher · Season 1
All right. Well, go on, then. Ask me.
Fangs?
No.
Turn into a bat?
No.
Sleep in a coffin?
Not if I can help it.
Afraid of the cross?
It's a 2,000-year-old symbol of hypocrisy, slavery, and oppression. But it won't burn me face off.
Silver bullets?
That's werewolves.
All them years I was a knocker, watchin' those cows wind their way through the maze, turnin', turnin', marchin' into the kill floor. But just at the last second, at the very last second, 'fore they get the bolt and drop, they get a look in their eyes, 'cause they know what's comin' and they're realizin' all the "don't wanna" in the world is not gonna change this, 'cause they're gonna.
We grow or we die, Miles. We grow or we die.
Now I found him. Alls that's left to do is go over there and get him, tie him to a table, cut his freakin' balls off, and, over and over, stab him in the face with a screwdriver.
So, you're saying this Genesis is some sort of angel/demon baby?
If by "baby," you mean the most powerful entity ever known, the singular force that could shift the balance of power, threaten all of creation, then, yeah, it's a baby.
I doubt everything all the time, all right? It's the only way to live.
What about you? You look like a men's room wall.
I went through a period of low self-control.
Thank God that's over with.
God may not make mistakes, but people are bloody famous for it!
I made a promise. That's what this is for. I'm gonna open those doors. I'm gonna make them see the light and fulfill my promise. Then I will be free. That's what I'm gonna do.
What do you think?
I think they should be more scared. An inferno at your back consuming every man, woman, and child in its path. And you're what? Smiling? They should be terrified. The world's ending. Otherwise, who gives a shit?
I know... there's things I don't know about him, things that would... surprise me.
Yeah. But, then again, that's true of all of us. Don't you think?
I'm not giving you my father's church.
Yeah. You know, toward the end there, William Travis wrote a letter, one of them cold nights of his up behind the garrison walls. When I was a boy, I kept a copy folded under my pillow. "I have answered the demand with a cannon shot. I shall never surrender or retreat." "Victory or death." Exactly right. Yeah. I'll be back.
If his reason, if his judgment is to send one more sinner, one more lost soul into the fire, what can I do? Except stand aside and watch him burn.
You son of a bitch. Throw someone out on their ass, just 'cause they don't live up to your uptight, redneck Christian standards. Your daddy would by proud.
Don't you talk about him! What do you know about standards? O'Hare? Frozen vegetables? Vanilla hash browns? Gimme a break. What are you even doing here?
That's a real good question. Dick.
Jesse, much bigger things are coming for you, much bigger things than this here. So you got to be one of the good guys. 'Cause why?
'Cause there's way too many of the bad.
