Constantine Quotes
Wrong way mate, frankincense flees the presence of malevolent energy. What we want is behind you.
Constantine: Marcelo was useless the poor bastard; fully catatonic. You know most people who survive a possession they're down right chatty about the ordeal.
Chas: Tough break for him.
Constantine: Not entirely, his parents got what they deserved. But we have to stop this evil entity mate, it's a bloody serial killer through the ages.
Constantine: Smells of burning but there's no sign of fire. Some serious telekinetic energy was spent here last night. What is it you want?
Manny: Battle plans John. Time to draw 'em up.
Constantine: Battle plans eh? You know bugger all about what we're up against.
Manny: I know there's a darkness rising John. It's ancient beyond measure. You're going to stem the tide of its attacks.
Constantine: We tried a spell to put your ghosts down, but unfortunately it didn't work. You see, Midnite didn't raise those spirits; not really. You three did.
Woman: How?
Papa Midnite: All three of ya, you keep the dead alive because you can't forgive yourselves.
Constantine: Papa Midnite! Hell of a party mate. Sorry I came empty handed but it's kind of hard to find a dessert that pairs with pig's blood.
Papa Midnite: Constantine.
Woman: Who are you?
Constantine: I'm the man that's going to keep your husband where he belongs love. You can thank me later.
Constantine: Look mate I am fishing, I admit it. But, what I want to know is why now? You see, Masaki died five years ago; Phillip three. They were resting in peace until...
Jim: Whatever happened to wake 'em.
Jim: You three are some act.
Constantine: Yeah well, it's no act supercop. See the police they're looking for a living killer in that alleyway stabbing and they're not gonna find him.
Jim: Uh huh.
Constantine: Based on what I saw in the alleyway and now here on this road you've got two perps on the loose and they're very possibly dead or undead.
Jim: I can't believe I give you the time of day.
Jim: Very good. I think I got a couple of junior detective badges back at the station. Jim Corrigan; NOLA PD homicide and you are?
Constantine: Here to help you Jimmy boy.
Zed: Jimmy?
Constantine: John Constantine. This is Chas and Zed. We're investigating the occult phenomenon that happened here last night.
Jim: Whoa occult investigators? Con men don't normally introduce themselves as con men, well that's novel.
Zed: Slow is smooth. Smooth is fast.
Jim: Where'd you hear that?
Zed: Was that your mother teaching you to shoot?
Constantine: This demon requires a sacrifice. That's what I learned from the shaman. No cage, bottle or vessel can hold it; only a body. A live human body.
Gary: Mine.
Constantine: We could draw straws.
Gary: It was your plan all along wasn't it? That's why it's just you and me here. You sneaky bastard. My chance to finally make my life mean something.
Constantine: So the headline here is I'm going to need one of those fancy blades right?
Shaman: A sacred Kusa. Good luck finding one in this town.
Constantine: Well we wouldn't want to make things easy now would we?
Constantine: Sounds like a hunger demon. Nasty mindless bastards with no thought other than to consume to excess. Sound familiar?
Gary: I'm clean now John. I was going to stay that way I swear.
Constantine: Ah leave it out Gaz, I don't have the time. That thing's going to eat its way through the heart of the city one poor wretch at a time unless I stop it.
As soon as I saw him I knew it. He had these containment markings all over his face. You know the power patterns for binding. Some bastard had trapped a demon in him. I knew what I had to do.
Gary
