The Continental: From the World of John Wick Season 1 Episode 1 Quotes

Winston: What's the point? Really? I feel like I'm getting dragged back into another one of Frankie's hornet nests.
Charlie: The point is: He's your family
Winston: He's family? That's the point? I don't even know who he is anymore. And I'm supposed to throw away everything that I've built because my brother returns from Vietnam and goes back to work for the monster that ruined our lives, took our house, put our family on the street, and let him rot in jail. Charlie: Why don't you give your brother a break, okay? He didn't get a golden ticket to someplace post like you did.

Cormac: I can't kill you. Not here. Charon, what becomes of someone who breaks that particular rule?
Charon: Excommunicado, Sir.
Cormac: That's Latin for "You're fucked". I'd be persona non grata. Deprived of all the privileges and protections that this hotel has to offer. Imagine me walking out these doors. You know, alive. But suddenly unprotected from all the people that I've heard over the last 40 years. My enemies hunting me down.
