Quotes
-
Winston : You stabbed the devil in the back and forced him back into the life that he had just left. You incinerated the priest's temple. Burned it to the ground. Now he's free of the marker, what do you think he'll do? He had a glimpse of the other side and he embraced it. But you, Signor D'Antonio... took it away from him.
-
Winston : Jonathan, listen to me.
Santino D'Antonio : A man can stay here a long time and never eat the same meal twice.
Winston : Jonathan, just walk away.
Santino D'Antonio : Yeah Jonathan. Walk aw...
[John kills Santino with a bullet in the forehead]
Winston : What have you done?
John Wick : Finished it.
-
Santino D'Antonio : Winston!
Winston : Mr. D'Antonio, your evening has been colorful I see. Seeking safe harbor, I presume.
Santino D'Antonio : I want his membership revoked now.
Winston : In the eyes of this institution Mr. Wick has breached no legality.
Santino D'Antonio : Then you know that I have the right to demand...
Winston : Nothing, you demand nothing of me, Mr. D'Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone.
Santino D'Antonio : Alright. Then enjoy your kingdom, Winston, while you still can.
Winston : And you, its privileges, sir.
-
Winston : Jonathan.
John Wick : Winston. What am I looking at?
Winston : The Camorra's doubled Santino's open contract, it's gone international.
John Wick : High Table...
Winston : Mmm.
John Wick : And the Continental?
Winston : You killed a man on company grounds, Jonathan. You leave me no choice but to declare you excommunicado. The doors to any service or provider in connection with the Continental are now closed to you. I am so sorry. Your life is now forfeit.
John Wick : Then why am I not dead?
Winston : Because I deemed it not to be.
-
Winston : What are you doing, Jonathan?
John Wick : He burned my house down.
Winston : You rejected his marker. You're lucky he stopped there. What the hell were you thinking, giving a marker to a man like Santino D'Antonio?
John Wick : It was the only way I could get out.
Winston : Oh. You call this "out"? What did you think was gonna happen? What did you expect? Huh? Did you really think this day was never going to come? Hmm? What does he want you to do?
John Wick : I didn't ask. I just said no.
Winston : Two rules that cannot be broken, Jonathan. No blood on Continental grounds, and every marker must be honored. Now, while my judgment comes in the form of excommunicado, the High Table demand a more severe outcome if their traditions are refused.
John Wick : I have no choice?
Winston : You dishonor the marker, you die. You kill the holder of the marker, you die. You run, you die. This is what you agreed to, Jonathan. Do what the man asks. Be free. Then, if you want to go after him, burn his house down, be my guest. But until then...
John Wick : Rules.
Winston : Exactly. Rules. Without them, we'd live with the animals.
