A line from Winston [to Santino, about John Wick]

You stabbed the devil in the back and forced him back into the life that he had just left. You incinerated the priest's temple. Burned it to the ground. Now he's free of the marker, what do you think he'll do? He had a glimpse of the other side and he embraced it. But you, Signor D'Antonio... took it away from him.

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

[shakes his head with a sigh, and raises two fingers to John]

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

[nods]

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

Santino D'Antonio: Winston!

Winston

Mr. D'Antonio, your evening has been colorful I see. Seeking safe harbor, I presume.
Santino D'Antonio: I want his membership revoked now.

Winston

In the eyes of this institution Mr. Wick has breached no legality.
Santino D'Antonio: Then you know that I have the right to demand...

Winston

Nothing, you demand nothing of me, Mr. D'Antonio. This kingdom is mine and mine alone.
Santino D'Antonio: Alright. Then enjoy your kingdom, Winston, while you still can.

Winston

And you, its privileges, sir.

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

[John kills Santino with a bullet in the forehead]

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.
