Ramirez quotes from Devil (2010)
Played by Jacob Vargas
View Quote
(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."

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.

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.
