John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum 2019 quotes

Bowery King

Welcome to my Mission Control. Brain stem of my operation. The information super flyway. From whence I control the word on the street, the way of the world.

The Adjudicator

With pigeons.

Bowery King

Yes. You see rats with wings, but I see the Internet. No IP addresses. No digital footprint. Can't track it, can't hack it, can't trace it.

The Adjudicator

Can you get disease from it?

Bowery King

Well, I wouldn't recommend that you eat one.

Bowery King

How you doing John? You look as bad as I feel. [chuckles] Johnny, Johnny, Johnny. Raise a hand if you can hear me, John.

Bowery King

Oh, shit. They took a finger. Ain't that a bitch? [chuckles again as John flips him off] Oh, John **** Wick. So, the old boy keeps his hotel and you take the fall. Can't say I blame him. I would've done the same thing if I was in his shoes. But this High Table shit... [gets up] Seven cuts. [chuckles] Under the table is where shit gets done. And they're about to find out, if you cut a king, you better cut him to the quick. So... Let me ask you, John. How do you feel? 'Cause I am really pissed off. You pissed, John? Hmm? Are you?

John Wick

Yeah.

Bowery King

Okay. You made your point. You have earned my fealty. Matter of fact, I'm gonna shove so much fealty up your ass it's gonna come spilling out of your mouth.

The Adjudicator

You had your chance.

Bowery King

Well, since you see it that way, I guess it's time I told you to climb down off your High Table and go **** yourself.

The Adjudicator

Duly noted. You gave John Wick seven bullets, your penance will be paid with seven cuts.

Bowery King

Well, sometimes you gotta cut a mother****er.

Do you expect him to make it out?

Winston

Fourteen million dollar bounty on his head, and every interested party in this city wants a piece of it. I say the odds are about even.

John Wick

Sofia, don't.

Sofia

He shot my dog.

John Wick

I get it.

John Wick

I'm just asking you to try. Either way, you and me, we'll be even.

Sofia

No. After this, we are less than even.

John Wick

Sofia, we're not going in like the old days, just a conversation.

Sofia

Nothing's ever just a conversation with you, John.

The Adjudicator

What are we going to do about John Wick?

Winston

Oh, he has to die. [suddenly pulls out gun and shoots Wick several times, causing him to fall off the roof] Sorry, Jonathan. I don't see any other way.

The Adjudicator

Have you decided to step down?

Winston

I think not.

The Adjudicator

And you, will you be putting a bullet in his head?

John Wick

No, I don't think I will.

The Adjudicator

Very well.

Administration.

The Adjudicator

I'd like to change a designation.

Verification?

The Adjudicator

Adjudication 1011979, The Continental Hotel, New York.

New designation?

The Adjudicator

Deconsecrated.

The Adjudicator

You gentleman, of course, realize that was the first wave. Merely an amuse-bouche. We can keep this up as long as you'd like, but it only ends one way.

Winston

Are you sure a protracted war is the best way forward?

The Adjudicator

There won't be anything "protracted" about it.

Winston

Oh you can take the Continental, I have no doubt about that, but keeping it, that's a different matter entirely. My allegiances run way beyond this building.

The Adjudicator

We are High Table.

Winston

And we... are New York City.

The Adjudicator

Are we negotiating?

Winston

I believe we are.

You know, when my pupils first come here, they wish for one thing: a life free of suffering. I try to dissuade them from these childish notions, but as you know, art is pain. Life is suffering. [pause] All of this for what? Because of a puppy?

John Wick

It wasn't just a puppy.

Why do you want to live?

John Wick

To remember Helen. To remember us.

Winston

I know you will do The Continental proud.

I'll see you soon, sir.

Winston

And you, Jonathan, do what you do best.

John Wick

What's that?

Winston

Hunt... Si vis pacem, para bellum [Latin translation: If you want peace, prepare for war]!

Winston

This haven is safe no more.

John Wick

Are services still off limit to me?

Winston

Under the circumstances, your privileges are reinstated immediately. What do you need?

John Wick

Guns. Lots of guns.

Hey, John. That was a pretty good fight, huh?

John Wick

Yeah.

Yeah. Don't worry about me, John. I just gotta catch my breath. I'll catch up to you, John.

John Wick

No, you won't.
