Eric: I like your tattoo.
Shelly: Thanks.

View Quote Vincent: You corrupt people. You can’t corrupt what’s not already there. A pearl. It’s a seed.
Eric: Hmm.
Vincent: Look at yourself. Look at what you’ve become. Those eyes. That face. Why would she want to be with you? You have no love left. Only hate. You fool. You don’t feel anything. Do you? You don’t feel any of it.
Eric: I feel it all. [Vincent whisper demonic inseminating spell]
Vincent: You have no love left. Only hate. She’s not what you thought she was.
Shelly: [Flashbacks] When I’m hard to love, love me harder. Love me harder. How many people have you loved? Like seriously, seriously loved? Don’t leave me. I don’t want it to end. [Vincent ends up becoming Crow transformed, and they fight then smashing through window into Crow purgatory]

View Quote Vincent: [In Crow purgatory] What is this place?

Eric: Yeah, I do! [The demons start to scratch Vincent's face and pull him underwater]
Shelly: [Emerges from water, Eric brings her up and she gasps] Eric. I had this terrible dream. I was falling. I thought I’d lost you.
Eric: It’s okay, baby. It’s over. It’s all over. You get to go back.
Shelly: Eric... what have you done? I can’t come with you.
Eric: What? This was the only way.
Shelly: [She gasps from being shocked by defibrillation paddles in real life] No. I’m going with you. This isn’t the way it was supposed to end.
Eric: I would do it again. All of it. Every moment. [She gasps] I love you. Forever. [They passionately kiss]
