"You think you know me? You strike me as a sentimental man, Mr. McCall. That's surprising. I... I don't possess that chip. I never could understand what comes from feeling that way, except weakness."

"The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why."

"Johnny Skourtis as Ralphie"

"Denzel Washington as Robert McCall"

"Haley Bennett as Mandy"

"Robert, I don't have to tell you what happens next. He won't stop until he kills you and anyone you care about."

"Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place. I know a part of you died when Vivian did. But not the part she loved the most. Go be him."

"You had a nice funeral, in case you were wondering. You know, when they told Susan you were dead, she couldn't comprehend it. She said, "Oh, no. Not Robert." "And not from something as trivial as a car bomb." That you're alive … is a big relief. But it didn't come as a complete surprise to her. We used to talk about you over the years, and she said if anyone could have figured a way out, a way to walk away from it all for good, you know, like a real fresh start … it would have been … You."

"You didn't take out five pimps, Robert. You took out the East Coast hub of Vladimir Pushkin. … He's similar to the oligarchs who jumped in bed with the Russian mafia, only he funds everything: gasoline, weapons, girls, you name it. He's built an intricate network on both U.S. coasts that are incredibly well-insulated. His money and political ties make him untouchable. Your friend here is who Pushkin sends when he's got a problem. Teddy Rensen — real name, Nicolai Itchenko. Skill set honed in Spetsnaz. He's formidable and smart. Ran a wing of the secret police for years. Went private when the Union fell. Basically, he's a sociopath with a business card."

"A man with his skills, I want to know who he really is. I want to know who he's working for."

"I've done some bad things in my life, Nicolai... Things I'm not proud of. I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person. But for you, I'm going to make an exception. You asked me what I saw when I looked at you. What do you see when you look at me?"

"When you look at me... what do you see? The answer's nothing. … I have no feelings about you one way or the other. You're like... like lint or a bottle cap. You're just a thing to remove."

"When you pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too."

"I am offering you a chance to do the right thing. Take it."

"I couldn't tell you why — it mattered. Why what they did to her, that mattered to me so much. One day somebody does something unspeakable to someone else to... someone you hardly knew, and you... do something about it because you can."

"You're supposed to stand for something, punk. Protect and serve. Uphold the law. Justice. Remember?"

"[sitting beside a dying Slavi] Your heart is beating at three times the normal rate. It’s because you’re losing so muct blood. In about 30 seconds, your body’s gonna shut down, and you’ll suffocate. Alina, the girl you beat half to death, her life’s gonna go on. Yours is gonna end right here, on this funky floor… over ninety-eight hundred dollars. You should have taken the money."

"Progress — not Perfection."

"Some people thought we were at war with the Germans— incorrect. We were at war with the clock. Britain was literally starving to death. The Americans sent over 100,000 pounds of food each week, and every week the Germans would send our desperately needed bread to the bottom of the ocean. Our daily failure was announced at the chimes of midnight. And the sound would haunt our unwelcome dreams."

"David Harbour as Frank Masters"

"The men I killed, your men, I gave them a chance, they made their decision. I'm giving you the opportunity to make yours."

"I know it's not ordinary. But who ever loved ordinary?"

"Headmaster: [to a young Alan, about his note-passing] You and your friend solve maths problems during maths class because the maths class is too dull?"

"No one normal could have done that. Do you know, this morning... I was on a train that went through a city that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you. I bought a ticket from a man who would likely be dead if it wasn't for you. I read up on my work... a whole field of scientific inquiry that only exists because of you. Now, if you wish you could have been normal... I can promise you I do not. The world is an infinitely better place precisely because you weren't."

"Of course machines can't think as people do. A machine is different from a person. Hence, they think differently. The interesting question is, just because something thinks differently from you, does that mean it's not thinking?"

"Sometimes it is the people no one imagines anything of who do the things no one can imagine."

"Heil Hitler. Turns out that's the only German you need to know to break Enigma."

"If we're insane, nobody has to listen to us. I mean, who are you gonna believe, some crazy woman trying to destroy the integrity of the force, or a police officer?"

"Oh, Jesus jumped down."

"Departmental policy is what I say it is!"

"I'm going to tell you what happened and I'm going to keep on telling you every night, right here, until somebody does something about it."

"Our thoughts go out again today to Mrs. Christine Collins of Lincoln Heights, whose young son, Walter Collins, disappeared nearly two weeks ago. Though she is not a member of our congregation, we pray for her today as we have every day, since we learned of her plight. On the radio and in the newspapers we are told that the Los Angeles Police Department is doing its very best to reunite mother and child, and I'm sure that that is true. But given its status as the most violent, corrupt and incompetent police department this side of the Rocky Mountains I am not sure it's saying a great deal. Every day, new bodies appear along Mulholland and in the ditches of our cities, the work of Police Chief James Davis and his aptly named Gun Squad. Every day, the needs of honest citizens are put second to greed and personal gain. Every day, this city sinks deeper into a cesspool of fear, intimidation and corruption. Once the City of Angels, Los Angeles has become a place where our protectors have become our brutalizers. Where to be the law is to be above the law."
