"It seems our friend T-Bird won't be joining us this evening... on account of a slight case of death." "You wanna sit down?" "Well, well, well." "Devil's Night is upon us again." "I thought we'd throw a little party, start a bunch of fires, make a little profit." "I like the pretty lights." "Problem is, it's all been done before." "You see what I'm sayin'?" " That's no reason to quit." " Wrong." "Best reason to quit." "Only reason to quit." "A man has an idea." "The idea attracts others... like-minded." "The idea expands." "The idea becomes an institution." "What was the idea?" "See, that's what's been bothering me, boys." "And I tell ya, when I used to think about the idea itself... it'd put a big old smile on my face." "You see, gentlemen, greed is for amateurs." "Disorder, chaos, anarchy-- now, that's fun!" " What about Devil's Night?" " What about it?" "I started the first fires in this goddam city." "Before I knew it, every charlatan and shitheel was imitating me." "Do you know what they got now?" "Devil's Night greeting cards." "Isn't that precious?" "Yeah." "The idea has become the institution, boys." "Time to move along." "You don't want us to do "Light My Fire" time for the whole city?" "No." "No, I want you to set a fire so goddam big, the gods'll notice us again." " That's what I'm sayin'." " Right." "I want all of you boys to be able to look me straight in the eye one more time and say..." ""Are we havin' fun or what?"" " Hey, you!" "What's your name?" "Skank!" " Huh?" "What?" " You don't feel that?" " I feel like a little worm on a big fuckin' hook." ""I feel like a little worm on a big fuckin' hook."" "Well, boy, your mama must be damn proud of you." "How the hell'd that thing get in here?" "Gentlemen." "Let me go!" "Let me go!" "I gotta go!" "So you're him, huh?" "The avenger." "The killer of killers." "Nice outfit." "Not sure about the face though." "I just want him." "Well, you can't have him." " Well..." " Let me go." "I see you have made your decision." " Now let's see you enforce it." " Aw, this is already boring the shit out of me." "Kill him!" "Ooh, that had to hurt." "Well, that's that." "That guy was crazy." "He's gone." "Oh, no!" "Get him!" "Right here!" "H-Here, help me!" "Help me!" "He's tryin' to kill me!" "Jesus Christ!" "Hey!" "You're all going to die." "Get the fuck outta here!" "Guess it's not a good day to be a bad guy, huh, Skank?" "I'm not Skank." "There's Skank right there." "Skank's dead." "That's right." " What in the crap" " Don't move!" "Hold it!" "That's all she wrote." "Move and we shoot!" "You are surrounded by police units." "Do not attempt to escape." " Stop running immediately." " Holy shit!" "...spread your arms and legs" "Stop immediately." "Lie down, spread your arms and legs" "Come on!" "Move it!" "My advice: next time duck." "So many cops, you'd think they were giving away doughnuts." "Shit!" "I knew you were going to do that." "Look at that out there." "The whole city oughta be in flames by now." "The sky oughta be red." "So that, I take it, is the late, great Eric Draven." "He has power, but it is power you can take from him." "I like him already." "The crow is his link... between the land of the living and the realm of the dead." "So kill the crow and destroy the man." "I'm coming home, Shelly." "You're gonna say I shouldn't be in the cemetery in the middle of the night." "Right?" " The safest place in the world to be." " That's 'cause everybody's dead." "I knew you'd come here." "It's really late, Sarah." "You didn't say goodbye." "You're just gonna have to forgive me for that." "And you're never coming back." "I gave this to Shelly once." "I think she'd like you to have it." "This way you'll always remember her." "I'll never take it off." "I'd better go sneak back in the house." "Bye." "Shh." "Shh." "Shh." "Take it easy, sweetheart." "Come on." "Come on." "What is that, some sort of souvenir there from your pal?" "I'll just keep it for good luck." "What do you say?" "Hmm?" "Her eyes are so innocent." "Eric!" "Eric, help!" "Eric!" "Quick impression for you." "Caw!" "Caw!" "Bang!" "Fuck, I'm dead!" "Give me the girl, and I'll let you walk out of here." "Well, well." "Why don't you just give me a minute to think about that, huh?" "Nah." "Fuck it." "Aw, fuck." "Well, well, well, it does seem to me that our little life... has undergone a rather significant change in the past few minutes." "Now wouldn't you agree?" "Well, for a ghost you bleed just fine." " It's still alive." " Well, then kill it." "Bye-bye, birdie." "Aw, shit." "Well, I just came by to pay my respects, and here you are gettin' all shot up again." " They've taken Sarah." " How many?" "Two more." " I can handle it." "Don't worry." " I'm not worried." "Look, here's the plan." "You stay in front, and when they run out of ammo, I'll arrest 'em." "That sounds like a great plan." "There's just one problem." "Oh, shit." "You're bleedin' all over the place." "I thought, you know, you were invincible." "I was." "I'm not any more." "Well, I guess you really will need my help, won't you?" "Come on." "You take that." " You were supposed to stay behind me." " I think I messed up." "This is all the power you ever had." "Now it is mine." "Pity there is not more time... for us." "Help me!" "Eric, I'm scared!" "Let me go!" "Let her go!" "You can have me." "I won't fight you." " All right." " No!" "Eric!" " Sarah?" " Look out!" "Eric!" "You know, my daddy used to say, "Every man's got a devil... and you can't rest till you find him."" "Whatever happened back there with you and your girlfriend, I cleared that building." "Hell, nothin' in this town happens without my say-so." "So I'm sorry if I spoiled your wedding plans there, friend." "But if it's any consolation to you... you have put a smile on my face." "You got a lot of spirit, son." "I am gonna miss you." "I have something to give you." "I don't want it any more." "Thirty hours of pain." "All at once!" "All for you." "Yeah." "Go help him." "Are you alive?" "God, I need a cigarette." " Everybody else dead?" " You helped me." "What you kept in here saved me." " Thanks." " Don't mention it." "I've been meaning to come to church anyway." "Oh, yuck." "I'm quitting as of now, if I live." "Stay with him until help comes." "He'll be okay, right?" "Eric?" "He does that a lot." "Shelly." " At least it stopped raining, huh?" " It can't rain all the time." "No, I don't believe it." "This nightmare your fault, Albrecht?" " Look, you go on home." "I'm okay." " Okay." " You wanna tell me what's going on?" " Your vigilante's up on the roof." " You missed it." " Get him out of here." "Thanks." "If the people we love are stolen from us... the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them."
