Quotes 

• John Riegert : [looking at a crowded street]  Just shove them out of the way

  Dani Simionescu : [incredulous]  They're human beings, John, not sheep

  John Riegert : If you insist on splitting hairs.

  Dani Simionescu : I do, actually.

  John Riegert : [pause]  That one looks like a sheep.

• Dani Simionescu : [on Serban's murder]  I didn't do it, if that's what you're driving at, John. You see, I like to see their faces.

  John Riegert : You're acting rather cavalier for a man in your tenuous position.

  Dani Simionescu : That's fucking it!

  [pulls the car over] 

  Dani Simionescu : Right, let's get one thing straight. I know when someone's trying to sweat me and, quite frankly, I don't fucking like it; so, if you've got something to say, you say it to my fucking face or you get the fuck out of my fucking car.

  John Riegert : I believe you're guilty of nothing more than... a certain degree of moral ambivalence.

• Dani Simionescu : Not again. I do wish you'd stop shoving things down your knickers, Serban. Makes me feel so cheap.

• John Riegert : Your mother didn't weep for you, Dani - not then - but she weeps for you now.

  John Riegert : [after a quick flashback to Dani's mother]  You can hear it every time you close your eyes, can't you?

  Dani Simionescu : Tell me who you are.

  John Riegert : Are you sure that's what you really want?

• Dani Simionescu : So, who exactly are we looking for?

  John Riegert : The one you call Laurel.

  Dani Simionescu : How can you be so sure it's in him?

  John Riegert : He's the only one unaccounted for. Please don't make me do your job. I have enough to do already.

• Laurel : You remember the first war? The big one. We stood on those ramparts long after we knew our cause was lost. Together we beat back Michael's hordes right down to the bitter end. When you fell, I fell. When you rose up in that lake of fire, I was right there by your side, still defiant, still proud, opposing God at every turn. I loved you, as my master - just as you once loved yours; but, along the way, the lines got blurred, didn't they? Well, there were no more rallying cries, no more odes of vindication, no more black, no more white. Just endless, endless shades of gray. What happened to you? Did you get tired... or just bored? Still, no matter. No problema.

  Laurel : [looks back at Allison holding the book]  I'm here to fix all that with a little leg up from that book.

  Laurel : [Allison's eyes lock with Belial's, refusing to hand over the book]  Now, look, I don't pretend to love you or your kind. All I'm offering you is a way to restore the balance again, to make it like it was when there were saints, Allison, and true demons, and you could actually tell one from the other. I just want it all to make sense again, nothing more - and all you have to do is give me that book.

  Dani Simionescu : Don't. Don't do it, Lucia.

  Allison : What are you? Another demon?

  Laurel : Close. He's your brother.

  [Allison, shocked to hear this, reaches to touch the scar on her face] 

  Laurel : Go ahead, touch the scar on your face. It might help you remember. Dear beloved Dani, who betrayed his own parents and yours to the Securitate and, in doing so, happened to condemn to a rather grisly death.

  Dani Simionescu : Lucia.

  Allison : Don't.

  Dani Simionescu : I am so, so sorry for what I did.

  Allison : I am not Lucia.

  Dani Simionescu : All I want... all I ever wanted is to be forgiven. Just that. Just to be... forgiven.

  Allison : My name is Allison, and I don't know you. I've never known you.

  [walks away from all of them] 

  Laurel : Oh, please. Don't get all dramatic on me. Just give me the book.

  John Riegert : That book is a weapon, Allison, for reasons that you could never grasp. Do not give it up.

  Laurel : [starting to get threatening]  Well, let me put it another way: Just give me the book or I rip your heart out and feed it to those dogs outside.

• Dani Simionescu : What the fucking hell were those things?

  John Riegert : I told you, the past

  Dani Simionescu : What?

  John Riegert : You probably call them ghosts. Understand this house does not give up its dead, Dani. The atrocities committed here will echo forever inside those walls.
