Emergency medical technician/Kronos quotes from The Crow (2024)

Eric

Where am I? What is this place?

Kronos

You’d think they’d come up with something better, wouldn’t you? But you know, they don’t expect us to linger. How long we stay here is entirely up to you.

...we stay here is entirely up to you.

Eric

What the **** is happening to me?

Kronos

People once believed when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it... and the soul cannot rest.

Eric

What are you talking about?

Kronos

The crow will guide you to put the wrong things right.

Eric

What do you mean? [Walks away] Oh, **** this. This isn’t real. [Kronos laughs] You stay the **** away from me.

Kronos

There’s nothing there but here.

Eric

This is all just a **** nightmare. This is just a **** nightmare.

Kronos

Then go wake up. [Pushes Eric backwards into puddle]

Eric

The sadness is killing... [He wakes up in mafia loft]

Eric

She’s dead, isn’t she? We’re both dead.

Kronos

I’m afraid so.

Eric

What are you? Some kind of angel?

Kronos

Do I look like an angel?

Eric

I don’t understand. Why am I here and she isn’t?

Kronos

You’re not gonna like the answer.

Eric

Just tell me.

Kronos

She’s on her way down. To a place far worse than this.

Eric

You said I could make the wrong things right. What does that mean?

Kronos

The one who killed you is not supposed to be in your world. They made a deal with the devil to gain eternal life by sending the innocent to hell. That’s not balance. Kill them. Kill them all. And you get your lives back.

Eric

You’re saying I can get her back?

Kronos

Yeah. Kill the ones who killed you, and you will get her back.

Eric

When I was up there, I got shot.

Kronos

And it taught you something, didn’t it?

Eric

What I, um... I can heal? I can’t die?

Kronos

Your body? No. Feel pain? Yes. If your love remains pure, you cannot die.

Eric

How am I supposed to trust you?

Kronos

Do you have another choice? Are you ready? [Pushes Eric into puddle]

Eric

Why am I back here?!

Kronos

You couldn’t see it through.

Eric

Hey! Why, [walks after Kronos] why did I stop healing?!

Kronos

I said your love needed to remain pure. The enemy of love is not hate. It’s doubt.

Eric

I never doubted her!

Kronos

Didn’t you? You had a chance and you wasted it. You were given the power of a god. In the end, you were just a boy. At least your soul can move on. [Puts hand on Eric's left shoulder] Her soul is gone forever into the darkness. For you, eternity is easy. You just have to breathe. And let her go.

Eric

I can’t.

Kronos

I’m sorry. [Walks away]

Eric

Mine for hers. [Walks up to Kronos] My soul for hers.

Kronos

Her soul is damned. The place she’s going, you can’t imagine it.

Eric

It’s not about me.

Kronos

Even if you save her, you will never be with her again.

Eric

I know. Now let me do this.

Kronos

It’s not up to me. There is no going back from this. [Cuts hand with knife and then clasps Eric's hand tightly with blood becoming black then pouring out Eric's eyes and then Kronos smears the blood over Eric's eyes and down cheeks] With this black blood, you will move between worlds, just like them. Go put the wrong things right. [Eric becomes revived in bathtub and then proceeds to finish all Wickham's thugs with shoutgun and bashes Wickham's head]
