Coach
(to Jensen, wearing Frankenstein's mask)

Don't talk to the other drivers. Frank never did. Part of the mystique. Let the mask do the work.

Coach
(as the Dreadnought explodes)

Now that's entertainment.

Tai Lung

Panda, Oogway made a mistake of choosing you as the Dragon Warrior. But, then I realized what a bigger mistake it was, until now.

Tai Lung
[watching Chameleon using his form and voice]

Is that how I sound? I don't sound like that, do I?

Tai Lung
[finally respecting Po, along with Lord Shen and General Kai, after defeating Chameleon by restoring his and every master's kung fu]

Maybe Oogway was right about you. You aren't completely useless after all.

Winston

This haven is safe no more.

John Wick

Are services still off limit to me?

Winston

Under the circumstances, your privileges are reinstated immediately. What do you need?

John Wick

Guns. Lots of guns.

Winston

I know you will do The Continental proud.

Charon

I'll see you soon, sir.

Winston

And you, Jonathan, do what you do best.

John Wick

What's that?

Winston

Hunt... Si vis pacem, para bellum [Latin translation: If you want peace, prepare for war]!

The Adjudicator
[during the parley]

What are we going to do about John Wick?

Winston

Oh, he has to die. [suddenly pulls out gun and shoots Wick several times, causing him to fall off the roof] Sorry, Jonathan. I don't see any other way.

Winston

Ah, history is littered with Marquis who were only remembered by their servants.

Winston

Killing a man can turn him into a martyr. Letting him live... tells the world he's a coward or a turncoat.

John Wick

You always have an angle, don't you?

Winston

Doesn't everyone?

Winston
[to Santino, about John Wick]

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.

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.

John Wick

What am I lookin' at?

Winston

The Camorras doubled Santino's open contract. It's gone international.

John Wick

High Table?

Winston

Mmm-hmm.

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. Now. You have one hour. I can't delay it any longer. You might need this...[hands John a marker]...down the road.

John Wick

Winston... tell them... Tell them all... Whoever comes, whoever it is... I'll kill them. I'll kill them all.

Winston

'Course you will.

Blackbeard
(To Jack)

If you jump, and die, then she will have her chance.

Blackbeard

If I don't kill a man every now and then, they forget who I am.

Captain Hook
(looming over a young boy threateningly with his hook)

Well, well, well. If it isn't Peter Pan!

Boy's Mother

His name's not Peter!

Captain Hook

Shut it, Wendy.

Prince Charming
[At the Poison Apple Pub...]

What does a Prince have to do to get a drink around here? [Mabel turns around in front of him] Ah, Mabel, why they call you an ugly stepsister, I'll never know. Where's Doris? Taking the night off?

Mabel

She's not welcome here, and neither are you. [spits into the mug] What do you want, Charming? [wipes the mug with a cloth]

Prince Charming

Oh, not much, just a chance at redemption... [laughs] and a Fuzzy Navel. [stands up and turns to the villains] And Fuzzy Navels for all my friends!

Captain Hook
[The repsonse wasn't taken well for the bar patrons; Captain Hook angrily rips across the piano keys with his hook, the Singing witch bares her teeth, sneering, the Evil Queen angrily breaks her pool cue stick, and Stromboli angrily smashes his beer mug]

We're not your friends. [Mabel grabs Prince Charming by his shoulders and pins him on top of the bar; he then places his hook against his neck] And you don't belong here.

Prince Charming

You are right, oh, I mean, you are absolutely right, but I mean, do any of us?

Cyclops

Do a number on his face!

Prince Charming

No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait! We are more alike than you think. [to the Evil Queen] Wicked Witch! The Seven Dwarfs saved Snow White, and then what happened?

Evil Queen

Oh, what's it to you?

Prince Charming

They left you the unfairest of them all. And now here you are, hustling pool to get your next meal. How does that feel?

Evil Queen
[remorsefully]

Pretty unfair.

Prince Charming
[to Stromboli]

And you! Your star puppet abandons the show to go and find his father.

Stromboli

I hate that little wooden puppet.

Prince Charming
[turns to Hook]

And Hook...need I say more? [Hook backs off, feeling insecure about his appendage] And you! Frumpy-pigskin.

Rumpelstiltskin

Rumpelstiltskin.

Prince Charming

Where's that first-born you were promised? [Rumpelstiltskin caresses a pacifier tattoo on his forearm; to Mabel] Mabel, remember how you couldn't get your little fat foot into that tiny glass slipper? [Mabel sighs remorsefully] Cinderella is in Far Far Away right now, eating bonbons, cavorting with every little last fairy-tale creature that has EVER done you wrong! [turns his attention to all the villains] Once upon a time, someone decided that we were the losers. But there are two sides to every story. And our side has not been told. So who will join me? Who wants to come out on top for once? Who wants their Happily Ever After!?
[The villains cheer rowdily, but then start to have a big brawl in the pub. Charming looks and drinks his Fuzzy Navel]

Winston Scott

Do you like to dance? I know a school where they teach dances. I could take you there if you like.

Winston Scott

Better To Be Inside The Tent Wizzing Out Rather Than To Be Outside Wizzing In.

Winston Scott

At a time of loss there's nothing easier then pity and nothing more difficult then the truth, as there are no easy answers for grief.

Winston

I know what you're thinking, Jonathan. We live by a code. Which is why I'm not the one telling you that a certain helicopter on a certain helipad is being fueled for a certain someone.

Winston

Ms. Perkins. [pauses as he walks up to her] Your membership to The Continental has been, by thine own hand, revoked. [Gunmen execute Ms. Perkins]

John Wick

Hello Winston.

Winston

Jonathan! Now, as I recall, weren't you the one tasked to dole out the beatings, not to receive them?

John Wick

Rusty, I guess.

Winston

To what do we owe the pleasure?

John Wick

Iosef Tarasov.

Winston

What about him?

John Wick

I'd like to talk with him.

Winston

A talk, you say. I'm familiar with the parlance, Jonathan. I want to ask you this: Have you returned to the fold?

John Wick

Just visiting.

Winston

Have you thought this through? I mean chewed it down to the bone? You got out once. You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond, you may well find something reaches out, and drags you back into its depths.

Teddy Bass
[raising his glass]

Gentlemen! You're all ****s.

Teddy Bass

Where there's a will - and there is a **** will - there's a way - and there is a **** way.
