Quotes

Red Miller

edit
  • A psychotic drowns where the mystic swims. You're drowning. I'm swimming.
  • You are a vicious snowflake.
  • I come for the Reaper.

Jeremiah Sand

edit
  • When I was at the bottom of the pit, screaming in the darkness, wracked with unspeakable pain, for having been denied all that was rightfully mine, He graced me with His light. His hot, loving light. It flowed over me like the pulse of a timeless wave. A wave of pure heat. A mainline of pure and total acceptance. And He talked to me. Addressed me as a friend. He said, "Jeremiah, they were wrong and you are right. So right." And He blessed me with His holy kiss. He said, "You are not separate from all that is. So all that is, is yours." And He gave me His deepest and warmest permission to go out into this world and take what is so very much mine. All of it. Mine. My wants. My needs. My pleasures.
  • You're a special one, Mandy. I too am a special one. Let us be so very special, together.
  • [to his reflection in the mirror] SHUT UP! Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up! Don't you fucking look at me!
  • [To the mirror] Tell me what to do… tell me what to do…
  • [to Red, after Red finds his underground lair] You're just meat. Without a soul, without a brain, without anything. Animal. You, you have no spirit – everlasting! No, no radiant light! I possess elucidations you will never know!

Caruthers

edit
  • These arrows cut through the bone like a fat kid eats cake.

Brother Swan

edit
  • [as he sets Mandy on fire for Red to watch] The darker the whore, the brighter the flame.

Dialogue

edit
[While Jeremiah Sand's "Amulet of the Weeping Maze" is playing]
Mandy Bloom: You made this song?
Jeremiah Sand: Yes. I did.
Mandy Bloom: And it's about you?
Jeremiah Sand: Yes. It is.
[Mandy begins laughing]
Jeremiah Sand: Look at me! Tell me, what do you see?
Mandy Bloom: I see the reaper fast approaching.
Caruthers: So, what you huntin'?
Red Miller: Jesus freaks.
Caruthers: …I didn't know they were in season, man.
Red Miller: Yeah, well…
Caruthers: [interrupting] Just tell me, man.
Red Miller: They lit her on FIRE! They were weirdo, hippie-types, whole bunch of 'em. And then there was some muscle – it didn't make any sense. There were bikers, and gnarly psychos, and… crazy evil.
Caruthers: Black Skulls. Black Skulls. Lookit, man. For a while now words been coming down from the big rigs… something dark and fearsome out there. No one knows where they come from. First it was stories from the Interstate. Leaving truckers for dead, prostitutes vanishing… and gutted bodies on doorsteps. And always the same… biker gang. Black bikes. Only seen at night. Weird shit. There are stories, that there was a chapter… that ran courier for a manufacturer of LSD. He took a disliking to them… and cooked them up a special batch. And they have never been right in the head since. I've seen them once. From a distance. What you're hunting is rabid animals… and you should go in knowing that your odds ain't that good… and you will probably die.
Red Miller: Don't be negative.
Caruthers: Last I heard on the CB, they were spotted down near Spirit River. When I've seen… them things… they were in a world of pain. But you know what the freakiest part was?
Red Miller: What's that?
Caruthers: They fucking loved it.
Scabs: You have a death wish.
Red Miller: [sobs] I don't want… I don't wanna talk about that.
Jeremiah Sand: You and that ugly little whore. You think you're so… in love. I'll show you love. Lucy. [whispers in Lucy's ear] Kneel.
[Lucy kneels and Jeremiah loads one bullet into a revolver before giving the revolver to Lucy]
Jeremiah Sand: Now show him… how much you love me.
Red Miller: No. No. [struggles] No. No. No!
Jeremiah Sand: [after the revolver only clicks] Another pearl... wasted before swine.
Brother Swan: Yeah. Take a good look, you piece of human excrement. This is the Tainted Blade of the Pale Night. Straight from the Abyssal Layer.
Jeremiah Sand: Poor stupid pigs. Born without souls. [takes the blade from Brother Swan] You know what Jesus' big mistake was, huh? He didn't offer up a sacrifice in his stead. The cruciform is a constant reminder of that. [stabs Red in his side]
Jeremiah Sand: You unholy abomination! You aren't even worth my spit! It's all that hate in your heart… that's to blame. It follows you everywhere, man. Follows you everywhere. I can still help you. It's not just your life I can save. No. It's your goddamned soul.
[Red grabs him by the head]
Jeremiah Sand: No, no! No, no! Please, please. Please don't hurt me! Can't you see this was all part of your journey? A journey that led you to me… to your salvation, your cleansing… by my hand…
[He starts sobbing]
Jeremiah Sand: I'll blow you, man! I'll suck your fucking dick! Is that what you want? Please! Please! Please talk to me.
[His voice abruptly changes]
Jeremiah Sand: No. No. I don't kneel before you! You kneel before me! I carry God's gift in my heart, not you! So you kneel before me, motherfucker!
Red Miller: I'm your God now.
[Red crushes Jeremiah's head with his hands]

Quotes about Mandy

edit
  • When it came to the music … I was just free just to be this crazy narcissist. I wasn't trying to channel anything other than, "I'm going to be the best bloody rock singer I ever could try to be." I just was in creative heaven, to be honest.
