Matt Ryan: John Constantine

Quotes 

• John Constantine : I'm John Constantine, I do stupid in spades.

• Manny : "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of the devil. Ye cannot have part in the Lord's table and the table of the devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?"

  John Constantine : Oh, bloody hell.

  Manny : Have you lost all hope in salvation, John? You invited a demon into your body.

  John Constantine : It worked. He healed me.

  Manny : Of course it worked! The First of the Fallen gives temporary power to those who believe his lies, but they become his possessions.

  John Constantine : Well, I didn't see God coming down that tunnel to help me, or you.

  Manny : You didn't even ask, John. Instead, you sought the help of a demon. It's all such a waste. You found the force behind the rising darkness. We could've stopped it, you and I together.

  John Constantine : You think I wanted this?

  Manny : You know what I think? To save yourself from hell, you acted without considering the consequences. It's not that I can't help you, John. I won't.

• John Constantine : It's all right, mate. I've been carrying hell around with me my whole life. How much worse can the actual place be?

  Chas Chandler : We're not there yet. What's your plan?

  John Constantine : More of a... gamble. Self-exorcism.

  Chas Chandler : You're kidding?

  John Constantine : I wish I was. I need my bag. We need to move fast.

  Chas Chandler : An exorcism for an exorcism. Let's do it.

• Anne Marie Flynn : I wasn't sure it would be you coming back.

  John Constantine : I'm hanging by a thread here. Where's Zed?

  Anne Marie Flynn : She managed to get outside during the alarm. I talked the guards into letting me stay with your.

  John Constantine : That knife was your one way out. You should've done it, honey.

  Anne Marie Flynn : And what would your angel say?

  John Constantine : Probably would've shaken your hand.

  Chas Chandler : Could use a hand!

• Anne Marie Flynn : Are you sure you can do this?

  John Constantine : If there's anything I've learned in the last 48 hours, it's that this demon needs me alive.

  Anne Marie Flynn : And if you're wrong?

  John Constantine : Well, then, I'll go out riding the world's greatest high. With my first love at my side. There are worse ways to meet your maker, eh?

• John Constantine : Was it something I said?

  Julio : They're Santa Muerte.

  John Constantine : Are they now?

  Julio : Feos bastardos have the run of the prison. They're sworn to avenge the death of their brothers. The ones you killed.

  John Constantine : They're the least of my worries. Have you got a light?

  Manny : Those things will kill you.

• John Constantine : I thought you washed your hands of me.

  Manny : You know, I got to admit, I never thought you'd do anything this stupid.

  John Constantine : I'm John Constantine. I do stupid in spades.

  Manny : And how are you feeling?

  John Constantine : Like I've got a bloody marching band in my skull. Sorry I put a crimp in your grand game plan. Are you honestly telling me that none of your cloud-huggers had any clue that the Brujeria were back in business?

  Manny : You know, some evil is so powerful, it can hide from heaven itself. Lamashtu wasn't working alone. The Brujeria have other operatives working close at hand. Identifying this enemy was always the first step in defeating the rising darkness.

  John Constantine : Well, if this goes pear-shaped, then I guess you'll have to find yourself a new operative on the ground.

  Manny : Not many like you down here, John.

  John Constantine : Manny.

  Manny : Yes, John.

  John Constantine : I'm not ready to die.

  Manny : Are you afraid of what's waiting for you?

  John Constantine : No, I earned what I got coming to me. I just... I have more work to do.

  Manny : Then that makes this a crucible. And for the sake of the mortal realm, I hope you find what you need.

  John Constantine : What if I don't know what I need?

• Julio : Hey, lunático. What is it you're looking for?

  John Constantine : Purified honey wax, holy water, full-length mirror would be very useful. This isn't gonna make much sense, but I'm meaning to conduct a self-exorcism, purge a demonic entity.

  Julio : Many demons in a place like this.

  John Constantine : Sadly, mine's more than a rusty metaphor.

• John Constantine : Bloody Santa Muerte. No honor amongst thieves, then?

  Julio : That... and los asesinos paid better. Sorry, Inglés.

  Julio : [leaves the room] 

• John Constantine : Where's Julio?

  Julio : No. I had to! It's the only way to stay alive! They run this place!

  John Constantine : Now I run this place!

  [to other prisoners] 

  John Constantine : Now sod off!

• John Constantine : You''ll do exactly as I tell you. Start by telling me everything you saw last night.

  Julio : I only saw after it was over. The Santa Muerte were dead. You truly have a devil inside.

  John Constantine : I'm just trying to keep it inside the prison. As as long as I'm in here, I can't cast it out. All it has to do is watch the clock go down.

• Vicente : The Brujeria, they are not happy with you, John!

  John Constantine : Identify yourself!

  Vicente : I've been known as Nahash, the Trickster, and now as Vicente. And you know me as you know all earthly temptation.

  Anne Marie Flynn : He's the tempter.

  John Constantine : The original serpent from the Garden of Eden. So, what have the Brujeria promised you, then?

  Vicente : No promises. They gave me release, so I can rain darkness down on your sinful world. I came to end your life! But now I can see what a mistake that would be. In a short matter of time, you won't be my enemy... you'll be my ally.

• John Constantine : Well, I didn't see God coming down that tunnel to help me, or you!

  Manny : You didn't even ask, John... instead, you sought the help of a demon.

• John Constantine : I put you guys through the ringer on this one.I suppose if I was to offer my thanks,you wouldn't believe me, either.

  Zed Martin : Probably not.

  Chas Chandler : Not for a second.
