John Wick quotes from John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

John Wick

The knife is in your aorta. You pull it out, you will bleed and you will die. Consider this a professional courtesy. [John walks away]

Santino D'Antonio: Listen to me. What is this? Hmm? Do you remember? This is your blood. You came to me. I helped you. If you don't do this, you know the consequences.

John Wick

I'm not that guy anymore.
Santino D'Antonio: You are always that guy, John.

John Wick

I can't help you. I'm sorry.
Santino D'Antonio: You're right. You can't. But he can. I'll see you soon, John.

Good evening, John.

John Wick

Hey, Jimmy.

Gas leak?

John Wick

Yeah. Gas leak.

You workin' again?

John Wick

I'll see you, Jimmy.

Have a nice night, John. [pause] Shit.

Winston

What are you doing, Jonathan?

John Wick

He burned my house down.

Winston

You rejected his Marker. You're lucky he stopped there. What the hell were you thinking giving a marker to a man like Santino D'Antonio?

John Wick

It was the only way I could get out.

Winston

Oh? You call this "out"? What did you think was gonna happen, huh? What did you expect, huh? Did you really think this day was never going to come? Hmm? [beat] What does he want you to do?

John Wick

I didn't ask. I just said 'No'.

Winston

Two rules that cannot be broken, Jonathan: No blood on Continental grounds, and every marker must be honored. Now while my judgement comes in the form of excommunicado, the High Table demand a more severe outcome if their traditions are refused.

John Wick

I have no choice?

Winston

You dishonor the Marker, you die. You kill the holder of the Marker, you die. You run, you die. This is what you agreed to, Jonathan. Do what the man asks. Be free. Then, if you want to go after him, burn his house down? Be my guest. But until then...

John Wick

...Rules.

Winston

Exactly. Rules. Without them, we'd live with the animals.

I fail to recall the last time you were in Rome. And here I'd heard... you had retired.

John Wick

I had.

Then humor me with, uh... but one question. Sei qui per il Santo Padre? [translation: Are you here for the Pope?]

John Wick

No.

All right then. [Pulls out a key] One of our finest rooms.

John Wick

Grazie.

Enjoy your stay.

Good afternoon, Mr. Wick. It's been a long time.

John Wick

I'd like a tasting.

I know of your past fondness for the German varietals, but I can wholeheartedly endorse the new breed of Austrians. Glock 34 and 26. Recontoured grips. Flared magwell for easier reloads. And I know you'll appreciate the custom porting. What's next?

John Wick

I need something robust. Precise.

"Robust. Precise." AR-15, 11.5-inch. Compensated with an iron-bonded bolt carrier. Trijicon Accupoint with 1-6 magnification.

John Wick

Could you recommend anything for the end of the night? Something big, bold.

May I suggest the Benelli M4? Custom bolt carrier release and charging handle. Textured grips, should your hands get... wet. An Italian classic.

John Wick

Dessert?

Dessert. The finest cutlery. All freshly stoned. Shall I have everything sent to your room?

John Wick

Yes. Thank you.

Excellent. Mr. Wick? Do enjoy your party.

Buongiorno, signor Wick.

John Wick

Ciao, Angelo.

Welcome back to Rome.

Tell me, Mr. Wick, is this a formal event or a social affair?

John Wick

Social.

And is this for day or evening?

John Wick

I need one for day and one for night.

And what style?

John Wick

Italian.

How many buttons?

John Wick

Two.

Trousers?

John Wick

Tapered.

How about the lining?

John Wick

Tactical.

Silicon carbide discs. Ceramic matrices. Accompanying laminates. Cutting-edge body armor. We just sew it between the fabric and the lining. Zero penetration. However... Quite painful, I'm afraid.

You working?

John Wick

Yeah... You?

Yeah... Good night?

John Wick

Afraid so.

Sorry to hear that.

John Wick

I had a marker.

Whose?

John Wick

Her brother.

I see. So you had no choice.

John Wick

He wants her seat at the table.

He'll get it now.

John Wick

Yeah...yeah.

So, you're free?

John Wick

Am I?

No. Not at all. [John nods] You killed my ward. Someone I was close to. An eye for an eye, John. You know how it goes.

John Wick

Yeah.

I'll make it quick. I promise.

John Wick

I appreciate that. I'll try and do the same.

This round's on me. Consider it professional courtesy.

Bowery King

As I live and breathe! John Wick. The man. The myth. The legend. You're not very good at retiring.

John Wick

I'm workin' on it.

Bowery King

Mr. Wick doesn't remember, but we met many years ago, before my ascension... When I was just a pawn in the game. We met and you gave me a gift, the gift that would make me a king. You don't remember, but there I was standing in an alleyway. I didn't even hear you comin'. You gave me this. Gift from the Boogeyman. Perfect for every occasion. But you also gave me a choice. Pull my gun, shoot you in the back, and die, or keep the pressure on my neck...and live. And so you see, I survived. No one sneaks up on me anymore thanks to you. I am all-seeing and all-knowing.

John Wick

Then you know why I'm here.

Bowery King

Santino D'Antonio, yes. Your contract went wide, John. That's bad for your health. What's the number up to now, Earl?

Bowery King

Seven million dollars! Damn! It's Christmas. We're going to Applebee's after this.

John Wick

I need your help. You have eyes begging for change on every corner in the city. I'm thinkin' you can find Santino. I need you to move me. Underground. Get me to him.

Bowery King

How sweet it is! The Boogeyman begging me for help. Well, of course, John. Yes, John. Whatever you'd like, John. Would you like a back rub with that, John?

John Wick

You're going to help me.

Bowery King

Why the **** would I do that?

John Wick

Because I'm the only one that can help you.

Bowery King

You're gonna help me out? That's downright upright of you, Mr. Wick. You sound positively magnanimous. But look around you. How much help does it look like I need? It seems to me that the real question, Mr. Wick, is who in this cruel world of ours...is going to help you?

Bowery King

He's offered seven million dollars for your life. Seven million dollars is a lot of money, Mr. Wick.

John Wick

So I guess you have a choice. You want a war? Or do you wanna just give me a gun?

Bowery King

Somebody, please! Get this man a gun!

Bowery King

Oh, and remember... you owe me.

John Wick

You don't want me owing you.

Santino D'Antonio: [at the Continental] Have you seen the menu here? Lot of options.

Winston

Jonathan, listen to me.
Santino D'Antonio: A man can stay here a long time and never eat the same meal twice.

Winston

Jonathan, just walk away.
Santino D'Antonio: Yeah Jonathan. Walk aw...

Winston

What have you done?

John Wick

Finished it.

John Wick

What am I lookin' at?

Winston

The Camorras doubled Santino's open contract. It's gone international.

John Wick

High Table?

Winston

Mmm-hmm.

John Wick

And the Continental?

Winston

You killed a man on company grounds, Jonathan. You leave me no choice but to declare you excommunicado. The doors to any service or provider in connection with the Continental are now closed to you. I am so sorry. Your life is now forfeit.

John Wick

Then why am I not dead?

Winston

Because I deemed it not to be. Now. You have one hour. I can't delay it any longer. You might need this...[hands John a marker]...down the road.

John Wick

Winston... tell them... Tell them all... Whoever comes, whoever it is... I'll kill them. I'll kill them all.

Winston

'Course you will.
