In a world where the forces of darkness rule, justice is about to take flight.(taglines)
Ashe Corven
Do you know what they call a gathering of crows, Curve? A murder. A murder of crows. Think about it.
[Picks up Kali holding her like a baby] Hush, little baby, shh, don't say a word. Daddy's gonna buy you a big black bird! [Throws her shattering a window and falling to street below hitting a vehicle]
[to the dying Curve] People used to put coins in the mouths of the dead. Do you know why? So they could pay the ferryman to take them across the river Styx. I want to thank you for showing me my pain, Curve. You made me what I am.
One crow, sorrow. Two crows, joy. Three crows, a letter! Four crows, a boy. [Flashback] Let him go. He's just a child. [Presence] Five crows, silver. Six crows, gold! Seven crows, a secret never to be told.
Time's up, Curve!
Nothing personal, sport.
[To Spider Monkey] I'll start with Nemo, and then work my way up the food chain.
Congratulations, Monkey! You just bought yourself a fighting chance!
You're wasting your breath Angelito. Nobody's up there... listening.
I'm all your nightmares rolled into one!
Lady Luck's a bitch.
Sarah
Life is just a dream on the way to death.
I believe there's a place where the restless souls wander. Burdened by the weight of their own sadness, they wait for a chance to set the wrong things right. Only then can they be reunited with the ones they love. Sometimes, a crow shows them the way. Because sometimes, love is stronger than death.
Judah
[Inserts hypodermic needle into Bassett] I said we all have our pleasures. Mine is the pain of others. [Injects Bassett]
Guess you were right, Bassett. That was a bad batch.
If you whip him, does he not bleed?
You're nothing now, Ashe, not even a ghost!
Curve
Nothing personal, sport. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
[To Ashe landing on a vehicle blowing out its windows, chasing him] Fuck you, bird-dick!
Kali
Hush little baby, please don't cry. Kali's gonna give you eternal life.
Some people are just born victims.
Sybil
Can you look destiny in the eye without flinching?
Danny
If you give up now, we won't be together.
Spider Monkey
[Flashback of Ashe and Danny's murder] Stop wasting your breath, Angelito. There's nobody out there listening!
Dialogue
Judah: You can't stop me anymore, Ashe. You haven't got the power. There's nothing but pain for you now.
Ashe Corven: Pain is my power.
Kali: We're only looking for Sarah. Where is she, Noah?
Noah: I ain't gonna tell you that.
Kali: [Turns on tattoo needle] But I think you are. Last chance, love.
Noah: Go fuck yourself, you dried-up bitch!
Nemo: You gotta name?
Holly Daze: Holly Daze. You want me, baby?
Nemo: Uh, I-I wanna see some sugar.
Holly Daze: Sugar?
Nemo: Right on, sister.
Holly Daze: Is that for me?
Nemo: Oh, yeah. Yeah. We gonna celebrate Christmas a little early this year.
Kali: Do you know how to fight?
Ashe Corven: Do you know how to die?
Ashe Corven: Does the corpse have a familiar face?
Spider Monkey: [Flashback] Flowers for the dead, señor? [Presence] We killed you, man. You're dead!
Ashe Corven: Sorry to disappoint you.
Sarah: There's a reason why you've been brought back, Ashe.
Ashe Corven: To find the people who did this to us. To make them pay.
Ashe Corven: You killed my son, Nemo! You took away the only piece of light left in my soul.
Nemo: We had to. We had to! It wasn't our fault! Was Judah's orders. Never leave any witnesses. We didn't have a choice!
Ashe Corven: You always have a choice!
Sarah: Gotta name?
Grace: Grace. So what?
Sarah: My name is Sarah. Listen, Grace, maybe you wanna get some hot coffee and a little bit of food.
Grace: What do you want?
Sarah: Nothing.
Ashe Corven: Do you want me... [smiles] baby?
Nemo:: You!
Ashe Corven:: Me!
Curve: I got bad news. Someone torched the lab in Manchester. Spider Monkey's a fucking crispy critter.
Judah: Monkey I could care less about. What about our merchandise?
Curve: Total loss.
Ashe Corven: The others. Who are they?
Spider Monkey: Nemo, Kali, Curve, and Judah.
Ashe Corven: I'll start with Nemo, and then work my way up the food chain. WHERE IS HE?!
Spider Monkey: Nemo? He's an old pervert. He hangs out at the Peeporama on Deacon Street.
Ashe Corven: [Roughly shoves Spider Monkey away] Congratulations, Monkey! You just bought yourself a fighting chance! [Holds up a deck of cards] Pick a card. Come one. [Monkey nervously picks the Jack of Diamonds, but loses to Ashe's King of Diamonds] Lady Luck's... a bitch. [Sprays the deck into Monkey's face]
Spider Monkey:: [Begging] Come on, man. Come on, come on.
Ashe Corven: [Uses Spider Monkey's own words from when they killed Ashe] You're wasting your breath, Jaido. Nobody's up there, listening.
Danny: Look! I made this.
Ashe Corven: Who are they?
Danny: Those people?
Ashe Corven: Yeah.
Danny: That's you and me.
Ashe Corven: That's me? And the thing on top over there?
Danny: That?
Ashe Corven: Yeah.
Danny: That's a blue sun!
Ashe Corven: A blue sun?
Danny: Yeah, a blue sun. [Two gun shots heard nearby] Ooh. What was that? [Runs outside]
Ashe Corven: Danny, stay here. [Yells] Danny!
Sarah: Are you okay?
Tattoo customer: It stings a little.
Sarah: Well, that's why they call me the mistress of pain.
Spider Monkey: Who the fuck are you?
Ashe Corven: Does the corpse have a familiar face?
Spider Monkey: We killed you man. You're dead!
Ashe Corven: Sorry to disappoint you.
Ashe Corven: You killed my son, Nemo! You took away the only piece of light left in my soul.
Nemo: We had to. We had to! It wasn't our fault! Was Judah's orders. Never leave any witnesses. We didn't have a choice!
Ashe Corven: You always have a choice!
Noah: What do you want?
Curve: A house in the country. A wife, couple kids, a little dog... and your fuckin' head stapled to my pussy seat.
Kali: Do you know how to fight?
Ashe Corven: Do you know how to die?
Ashe Corven: [Walking up to him after a motorcycle chase into a maintenance tunnel near the L.A. River] Wrong place, wrong time, eh, Curve?
Curve: You think I'm afraid of you?! You fucking freak! You think I'm afraid?! YOU THINK I'M AFRAID?!
Judah Earl: You can't stop me anymore, Ashe. You haven't got the power. There's nothing but pain for you now.
Ashe Corven: Pain is my power.
