John Kramer quotes from Jigsaw (2017)

What's going on?

John Kramer

You're about to play a game.

Anna

No, no! What are you doing, John, what are you doing?!

John Kramer

It's a final test.

I already passed your test -- look at my **** leg!

John Kramer

That wasn't your test, Ryan. And that wouldn't have been necessary if you'd simply played by the rules. But you don't like rules, do you?

John Kramer

Do you want me to show mercy? Or whoever wouldn't want to take a single step towards confessing. You know, who's not responsible for one death, but for three? You've lied with wreck less deceit. You started with high school. But it only grew worse.

John Kramer

You've lied to the authorities multiple times, Ryan, pinning the blame solemnly on the driver. Your deceit's best friend. You know what you did to his family? Hmmm? And you've only gotten worse over the years.

Okay, I did it. Okay, I **** did it! I did it but, it was so long ago. I wanna live... I wanna live!

John Kramer

As do I, Ryan. As do we all. But things happen.

John Kramer

Were it not for a careless mistake by a resident at the hospital I was in... my cancer could've been diagnosed a lot sooner. It was simply the wrong name on an x-ray. Would've saved me a whole lot of hardship. And you, Anna?

Anna

Hey! Look at me, John! Look, you know me! Please, don't do this to me!

John Kramer

We were neighbors. Anna and I. My first chemo obsession became difficult at the least. Anna and her husband, Matthew we're so kind and so supportive. I thank you for that.

Anna

Why are you doing this to me?
John Kramer': Those were better days for you, won't they, Anna. But your poor husband, Matthew... I know the two of you don't just get along. But after you endure that tragedy for the death of a child... It's one of life's greatest burdens, isn't it? Only if he hadn't fallen asleep that night, and he wouldn't have rolled over and uh suffocated your baby. That is what happened, right, Anna?

Anna

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Anna

SHUT UP! SHUT UP! (Grabs the pillows and finally snapped)

John Kramer

I mean, it's horrible. How horrible... to have to live with such a thing.

John Kramer

You could've make a person go mad, didn't it?

What are you gonna do to us?

John Kramer

Me? I'm not gonna do anything. You have to simply accept responsibility. (John opens a box to see a set of razor wire blades) For who you are.

John Kramer

Did you know that pigs are highly compassionate animals? They show distress if they see any other animal, including humans, suffering.

Anna

What about you, John? Where's your compassion?

John Kramer

We all have a thumb on the scale, Anna... For good or for evil. You've been weighing in on the wrong side of the scale. Both of you.

Logan

Why was Edgar Munsen free? Because he was your criminal informant. And years ago, you let him walk free. Edgar Munsen killed my wife.

Halloran

You don't know that. It was never proven. This won't bring your family back. John Kramer gave people a chance to win the game. A choice.

Halloran

****! You ****er...

Logan

You have a choice: scream, or don't.

Halloran

Hey, Logan, Logan, Logan, hey... Look, I can help you, I can... I-- I can do things for you...

Logan

Can you bring my wife back?

Halloran

...doesn't matter what I say, does it?

Logan

I created a game that appeared to be bearable to Jigsaw. (Flashback shows Edgar Munsen waking up and Logan Nelson sitting on his desk and using John Kramer's voice on a computer)

John Kramer

Hello, Edgar. You're about to play a game. Five lives are in your hands. Follow my instructions exactly.

I gotta choose who lives or dies! Them or me! I'M NOT **** DYING!

Logan

What kind of firearm do you use?

Hunt

Glock 22? Most cops do. Except Halloran. He's got a 17.

Logan

Nine One Nineteen Parabellum. That's a Glock 17.

The blood under the fingernail of our first victim. It's John Kramer's blood.

Logan

Some would think it's Jigsaw. Some will suspect you. But no one will suspect me.

Hunt

Okay, we need to bring him in, now!

Logan

Because Eleanor will provide my alibi. Ten years ago I came out of the war a broken man. Jigsaw put the pieces of my life back together again.

Logan

He gave my life purpose.

John Kramer

We can never come from anger, or from vengeance. You taught me that.

Logan

But then there will be no justice.

John Kramer

Ah, but there will. Because we'll speak for the dead.

Logan

Together, we built a legacy. Now I speak for the lives ruined by people like you. Murderers. Rapists. Their victims appear on my table because of you.

Logan

I speak for the dead. (Slams door shut)
