Ashe Corven
edit- 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!
Sarah
edit- 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.
- Lady Luck's a bitch.
Judah
edit- [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
edit- Nothing personal, sport. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
- [To Eric landing on a vehicle blowing out its windows, chasing him] Fuck you, bird-dick!
Kali
edit- Hush little baby, please don't cry. Kali's gonna give you eternal life.
- Some people are just born victims.
Sybil
edit- Can you look destiny in the eye without flinching?
Danny
edit- If you give up now, we won't be together.
Spider Monkey
edit- [Flashback of Ashe and Danny's murder] Stop wasting your breath Angelito. There's nobody out there listening!
