## Ramirez

* (first lines of the film) When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. I always believed my mother was telling me an old wives' tale.
* My mother's story would always begin the same way, with a suicide paving the way for the Devil's arrival. And it would always end with the deaths of all those trapped.
* You're never going to get these people to see themselves as they really are, 'cause it's the lies that we tell ourselves, they introduce us to him.
* When he's near, everything goes wrong. Toast falls jelly-side down, children hit tables, and people get hurt.
* (last lines of the film) After my mother would finish her story, she would always comfort us. "Don't worry," she'd say. "If the Devil is real, then God must be real, too."

## Jane Kowski ("Old Woman")

* Whores, liars, cheats, and deserters: it's all the same to me.
* You think this will make you good? You're not good.
* Damn. I really wanted you

## Sarah Caraway (Young woman)

* Are you threatening me? (towards the Mechanic)
* It feels like something *bit* me!
* Turn on the lights!
* Oh my god, it is you. (towards the Mechanic)
* Please don't let him kill me Ben.
* Do i look like such a threat?
* Don't come near me, any of you.
* And what will be your defence? Huh? She killed them all, so I had to kill her?
* KILL HIM BEN! KILL HIM BEFORE HE KILLS US!
* You take me down, they're pinning all of this on you.
* I'll put this down if you do too.
* I think someone pulled my blouse.
* Well this is reassuring.
* Where's Ramsey? He knows me.
* I'm Sarah.
* What is that?
* He's trying to escape.
* Keep him away from me.
* Do you seriously think I would do this to myself?
* I've never seen a person die.

## Vince McCormick (Mattress Salesman)

* When's the last time you heard somebody say 'hang tough'?
* Oh, this is not good...

## Anthony "Tony" Janekowski (Mechanic)

* Must be working on the power again.
* Yeah ! I spent some time in Afghanistan..
* Ooh-rah
* If I can get up there, I can maybe figure out what's wrong with this thing.
* I'am a mechanic. I'm pretty good with this sort of thing..
* They cant hear you. We BOTH know who did this."towards Sarah"

## Dialogue

    Ramirez: Everybody believes in [the Devil] a little bit, even guys like you who pretend they don't.
    [Bowden hands him a piece of paper with "Im so sorry" written on it.]
    Ramirez: What's this?
    Bowden: An apology note left at the site of a hit-and-run. My wife and son were killed out on Bethlehem Pike five years ago. But that's okay, because whoever did it is "sorry". You can tell by the heartfelt apology on the back of a carwash coupon. So no, I don't believe in the Devil. You don't need him, people are bad enough by themselves.
    Dwight: [over radio] You sure you're reading that right? Your eyes ain't what they used to be.
    Lustig: [in control room] You know what, I'll ask your mom to read it for me next time I got her bent over the console.
    Dwight: My mom's 78, have at it.
    Ramirez: [seeing ghostly face on monitor] You see it?
    Lustig: Yeah, look, that's just... That's just grain in the image. That's, you know, it's a mistake. It's like when people see Jesus in a pancake or something.
    Old Woman: You think this will make you good? You're not good.
    Tony: I know.
    Old Woman: You think you can make up for the choices you made?
    Tony: No.
    Old Woman: You think you can be forgiven?
    Tony: No.
