Page 3 of 4
[holding a tommy-gun against his chest]

You want revenge? Go ahead. I deserve it. Pull the trigger.

[takes the gun and punches Gabriel, who feels pain for the first time as a mortal]

That's called pain, get used to it.

[smiling]

You could have shot me, John. You chose a higher path.

[Constantine walks out] [shouting after Constantine]

Look how well you're doing!

[hears Gabriel cough and stand up in the pool]

Human? You don't deserve to be human.

You want revenge? Is that what you're thinking right now? Do it. End my life. [holding a shotgun against the chest] Be the hand of God. It is your choice. It was always your choice.

[takes the gun and punches Gabriel; a beat, then Gabriel grimaces sharply, feeling pain for the first time as a mortal]

That's called "pain". Get used to it.

[Constantine walks out] [shouting after Constantine]

You could have shot me, John! You chose a higher path! Look how well you're doing!

So when a half-breed breaks the rules, I deport their sorry asses straight back to hell. I don't get them all, but I've been hoping to get enough to ensure my... retirement.

I don't understand.

I'm a suicide, Angela. When I die, the rules say I've got just one place to go...

You're trying to buy your way into heaven.

What would YOU do if you were sentenced to a prison where half the inmates were put there by you?

[to a room full of demons]

Hi, my name's John, you are in violation of the balance, leave now or you will be deported. All of you. [no reaction]

[John stands on a chair]

Go to hell.

Ellie
[John ignites a lighter and places it under a fire-detector, holy water sprinkles down]

Holy water?
[The demons' flesh burns and they scream in agony]

[as he is strapping John into the electric chair]

Are you sure this isn't about a girl?

This is definitely mostly not about the girl.

[While John is strapped in the electric chair]

Are you sure about this?

No.
[Midnite electrocutes him, John screams]

[Voice over]

I guess there's a plan for all of us. I had to die—twice—just to figure that out. Like the book says, He works in mysterious ways. Some people like it… Some people don't.

Angels and Demons can't cross over into our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. A single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon's touch and those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit.

Heaven and hell are right here, behind every wall, every window, the world behind the world. And we're smack in the middle.
