Quotes 

• Neron : I need you for a favor.

  John Constantine : Is that right?

  Neron : Mm, I need you to open up a doorway to hell.

  John Constantine : Oh, right. Well, why didn't you say so? I will gladly open up a vortex right here and give you the old heave-ho to the great beyond.

  Neron : The door is not for me, Johnny. It's to bring someone here from the other side.

  John Constantine : Tabitha. Ah, that's right. If she comes straight through the doorway, she doesn't need a human vessel. And what in that demented demon brain of yours makes you think that I'm going to open a vortex for you, eh? Unlike Gary, I've still got both my nipples, so you don't have much to bargain with.

• John Constantine : [at Donner Pass in the Ice Age]  Okay, enough of the sightseeing. Can we go now? I'm a bit knackered, to be honest with you, mate.

  Neron : We're not here as tourists, Johnny.

  John Constantine : Ah, right, you're gonna get rid of me in some dramatic fashion. Get on with it, will you?

  Neron : I'm not gonna kill you. Not yet, anyway.

• Neron : Captain Lance, thank for coming all this way. If you're looking for Ray, he's, uh... checked out.

  Zari Tomaz : Is Neron on comms?

  Neron : But if you'd like to join him, I can make arrangements.

  John Constantine : Sara, open fire now. This may be your only chance.

  Nate Heywood : We can't fire. That's Ray.

  John Constantine : Ray made a deal with a demon. He's gone. We can't lose anyone else to this bastard. Do it.

  Sara Lance : What about you?

  John Constantine : Blow us both to kingdom come. I'll be happy to go to hell for the cause.

• John Constantine : [in an ancient Celtic village]  First you kill my friends, and now you bring me to this miserable era.

  Neron : Oh, Johnny, quit being such a crybaby. I just did what I had to do. Can't have your friends getting in the way of us creating that door to hell.

  John Constantine : There's still no way I'm helping you. Besides, the vortexes I make are strictly one-way. They suck you in. And don't you think if my magic was powerful enough to stabilize a vortex, I wouldn't have saved Desmond or Astra?

  Neron : Yes, and that's why we're here. As powerful as your magic is, you can always teach an old dog new tricks. And it's more than magic that you need to learn.

• Neron : I knew you could exploit fear to make yourself even more powerful.

  John Constantine : Well, it looks like you taught this old dog some new tricks after all. But now I'm gonna use those new tricks to strike you down.

  Neron : You know, I do have a few tricks of my own.

• Neron : Knew you'd be here.

  John Constantine : Ah, so I come from a long line of bloody bastards. Big reveal.

  Neron : Have you even considered what's it's really gonna be like for you in hell with all those pissed-off folks you sent there just waiting for you? Including my Tabitha.

  John Constantine : Tabitha. Who is this bird, anyway? Why is she so important?

  Neron : Who is she?

  John Constantine : Yeah.

  Neron : You're just like your ancestor. So convinced you're always right. You don't even know who you're sending away. Fitting that he's about to do the same to you. But once you see how powerful magic can be when fueled by fear, you can save yourself from being sucked to hell.

  John Constantine : [laughing]  Oh, you would love for me to stabilize that vortex, wouldn't you? You see, the thing is, I'm not afraid of going to hell. I've always counted on the fact that I'd end up there one day no matter what.

  Neron : And what about this innocent creature beside you?

  John Constantine : [glancing at the Púca]  Well, I guess I'm just a bloody bastard, then, aren't I?

• John Constantine : [listening to his ancestor]  Oh, this bloke is right tedious. Why are we here?

  Neron : Because I want you to learn that it was your ancestor that created the rift between humans and magical creatures.

  John Constantine : And why would he do that?

  Neron : Because fear is a powerful source of energy for magic. The more he exploits these creatures to stir up fear in his people, the more powerful his magic becomes.

  John Constantine : I come from a long line of bastards, but not even we would resort to that.

  Neron : Because your kin are always so right.

  John Constantine : Yes. And if the king is sending this creature to hell, then surely it deserves it.

  Neron : Do you really think that everyone in hell deserves to be there? What about Astra, or Raymond Palmer, or my Tabitha? This is your opportunity to make things right, starting with her.

  John Constantine : You know, if your plan is to guilt me into doing what you want by showing me the sins of my forefather, it ain't working, sunshine.

• John Constantine : Oh, my, what a big, scary knife you've got. I'd sooner be filleted than do your bidding.

  Neron : This knife is not for you. It's for Raymond. The human body is fascinating. Delicate, fragile. Did you know that if I cut this artery right here, it will take only a matter of minutes before Ray's body goes into shock and eventually expires?

  John Constantine : Hey, big man. Come on. I know you're in there. Snap out of it, eh?

  Neron : Ray's gone. I've taken over his body. We made a deal. And you of all people should know what it means to make a deal with a demon. Now, if Ray was still in here, would he do this?

  [tries slitting Ray's throat with the knife, Constantine turns it into a feather] 

  Neron : I knew I could make you use your magic.
