"I know you. I know you. I knew I knew you. I knew I knew you, but you ain't you. You can't be you, we put you through the window. There ain't no comin' back. This is the really real world, there ain't no comin' back. We killed you dead, there ain't no comin' back! There ain't no comin' back! There ain't no comin' back! "Abash, the devil stood, and felt how awful goodness is...""

"Remember? Yeah, I remember everything ... But I don't know what ... what? What? What're you talking about. No, no, no, no. You mean that place downtown?"

"Hey, guess what. Arcade Games fell down, went boom."

"Here's to Devil's Night, my new favorite holiday."

"Abashed the Devil stood; and felt how awful Goodness is."

"You know that Lake Erie actually caught fire on once, from all the crap floating around in it? I wish I coulda seen that."

"This is all the power you ever had. Now it is mine. Pity there’s not more time... [aims gun at Eric] for us."

"Her eyes are so... innocent"

"[When Top Dollar proposes setting fires on Devil's Night for profit] I like the pretty lights."

"There are energies aligning against you."

"I love her eyes. Pretty."

"[Crow flies into window and perches on television set] There's a big fucking bird over there!"

"[To Eric] Get away, steamhead."

"[About to rape Shelly] I've got a gun in my pocket. You're happy to see me, aren't you?"

"[Eric comes in window] What the fuck?! No, man! Don't do that! You nearly gave me a fucking heart attack!"

"[When Darla points out crow in room] It's a squab. Come here, bird. Hey, bird. Hey, bird. Bird. B-B-Birdie. Here, birdie, birdie. Come here, birdie, birdie, birdie. Birdie? Hey, birdie?"

"[Injecting Darla with heroin] Tomorrow night we can get high... and watch this whole fucking city burn from that window."

"You know, my daddy used to say, "Every man's got a devil, and you can't rest til you find him." What happened back there with you and your girlfriend... I cleared that buildin'. 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 ya, you have put a smile on my face. You got a lot of spirit, son. I am gonna miss you."

"[Appears to Eric at a cathedral after Grange shoots a crow] Quick impression for yah... caw, caw, bang! Fuck, I'm dead!"

"You're him, huh? The avenger. The killer of killers. Nice outfit. Not sure about the face, though."

"I want you to set a fire so goddamn big, the gods'll notice us again, that's what I'm sayin'. I want all you boys to be able to look me straight in the eye one more time and say: "ARE WE HAVIN' FUN OR WHAT?!""

"When I started the first fires in this goddamn city, before I knew it, every charlatan and shitheel was imitating me! You know what they got now? Devil's Night greeting cards. Isn't that precious? The idea has become the institution, boys. Time to move along."

"A man has an idea. The idea attracts others, likeminded. The idea expands, the idea becomes an institution. What was the idea? That's what's been bothering me, boys. And I'll tell you, when I used to think about the idea itself, it put a big old smile on my face. You see, gentlemen... greed is for amateurs. Disorder, chaos, anarchy — now that's fun!"

"It seems our friend T-Bird won't be joining us this evening... on account of a slight case of death."

"[Referring to Skank's near-unintelligible rant] Maybe we oughta just video tape this, play it back in slow motion."

"A boy and his bird. Awful touching."

"He winked at you? Tsk, musicians."

"[Referring to a recently deceased woman in his bed] I think we broke her."

"[Holding a graveyard snow globe] Dad gave me this, fifth birthday. He said: "Childhood's over the moment you know you're going to die.""

"[last lines] If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."

"I thought you were dead. You're not dead, are you? I knew it was you. Even with the makeup. I remembered your song. You said, "Can't rain all the time." That is from your song, right? Come on, Eric. I know you're here. I miss you... and Shelly. Get so lonely all by myself. The hell with you. I thought you cared."

"A building gets torched; all that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything: families, friends, feelings... But now I know that sometimes, if love proves real, two people who are meant to be together — nothing can keep them apart."

"People once believed that, when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."

"[To Eric after engaging Top Dollar and Grange in a gun fight at a cathedral] Ah, shit. Well, just came by to pay my respects... and here you are getting all shot up again."

"So many cops, you’d think they were giving away donuts!"

"I guess the scar isn't so bad, not if it's only on one side. I can always go through life sideways."

"A hard cop and a soft dame!"

"Somebody's going to pay ...because he forgot to kill me..."
