The Purge: Election Year quotes

Page 2 of 2

What made you apply for this position?

I like your politics.

No. No bullshit. I want a real answer.

I lost my son some years ago. He was killed. I almost did something on Purge Night that would've destroyed a lot of lives. I want this night gone. I know you do, too. Especially after what you lost.

Yeah. Despite all of that, you... you have a big problem with how I do things.

You take risks, Senator. My job is to eliminate risks and keep you alive. You don't make that easy.

The soul of this country is at stake, Leo. The only way that I can win is to risk everything, and that includes my life.

What's going on?

Just doing my job.

Angel Munoz

Senator, it's just a misunderstanding. Why don't we go back outside? Come on.

[looking at what covers the walls]

Are you seeing this, Leo?

Yes, Senator.

Angel Munoz

Senator, why don't we go outside...

Stop. Those are the Minister's biggest financial supporters. The NFFA. Our Lady of Sorrow. Is... is that where the Minister is going to be tonight for the Purge Mass?

Angel Munoz

We believe so.

You believe... what is all this? Why do you have all this? [Realizing] You're gonna assassinate him. You're gonna assassinate the Minister tonight, aren't you?

[At a presidential debate]

More low-income people are killed during the Purge than anyone else. The money generated from the Purge lines the pockets of the NRA and insurance companies. Any government system that relies on violence to answer its problems must be rebooted.

[Watching from off-stage]

She's doing good, Leo.

It is time to call upon the better angels of our nature.

[Learning of a plan to assassinate her election opponent]

You cannot do this. I need to win this thing fair and **** square.

Angel Munoz

They are not playing fair and **** square and neither should we.

This church will be locked up like Fort Knox. You'll never get through. You're gonna get slaughtered.

Angel Munoz

Four churches were built on that site. The original by your boy George Washington over 200 years ago. The man liked to have escape tunnels attached to all his structures. They're all over D.C. The tunnel under the original church has been closed up since the '50s. But we reopened it. We're gonna walk right through there and into that church without anybody even knowing it. The original Founding Fathers are about to **** over the New Founding Fathers. Now how you like that for irony?

How'd you know where this mass is gonna be?

Angel Munoz

Because we do whatever it takes. We did this for you, Senator.

No, it's not for me. Get your boss on the phone. I need to talk to him.

Angel Munoz

He's not here.

Angel, listen to me. You call him. You tell him he does this and the Minister becomes a martyr. I cannot have my presidency built on murder. You see that.

Angel Munoz

He will not leave this to the voters. He does not believe in the American system.

Angel, believe in me. I can make this happen.

Angel Munoz

We do. That's why we're trying to pave a way for you to the White House so you can make changes.

You're gonna cost me the White House.

Tommy Roseland

The New Founding Fathers believe in fairness. And we hear what the people are saying. That the Purge benefits the rich and the powerful. That was never the intention. From this point on, no one is exempt. The rules protecting level 10 government officials have been revoked.

[as he watches on TV, Barnes knocks on the door]

Yeah, come in.

You seeing this?

Yeah, NFFA is revoking the Purge rule that protects government officials of ranking 10 on Purge night.

Yeah, I'll secure a safehouse and full security detail on the night.

No. I'm staying home on Purge Night.

Senator, I don't think that's a good idea.

If the voters get wind that I'm hiding in a fortress like some rich asshole, I lose votes and the NFFA wins. I stay home like 99% of the population. Make it safe. Whatever it takes.

Before we get to our communal Purge, the Holy Horde of Many Martyrs, I'd like to introduce a guest who's going to be the centerpiece of a very special Purge ceremony tonight. [James rolls the pending victim on stage with a hand truck] This person has threatened to dismantle everything that we, New Founding Fathers, have done. We must rid ourselves of the negative emotions that she has stirred inside. We must stop her from poisoning our great country by taking away our freedoms. [Revealing it to be Senator Roan, to a round of applause] Yeah. I would like all the Founding Fathers to come to the altar. Join me, brothers, as we eliminate evil and Purge as one. [Members of the NFFA approach the altar] Lord of Air, Lord of Earth, we ask that you receive this child into your loving arms. We are sinners. Let us release. Caleb, our leader, I invite you, sir, to lead us in this Purging as you have and as you will. [Picking up a knife] Blessed be our New Founding Fathers for letting us Purge. Blessed be America, a nation reborn. Well, it's been a long journey to get away from the lies and the self-deception to this place of knowledge and awareness of who we really are. People of flesh, immensely flawed. Oh, it's hard to see the ugly truth. But change can only come from acceptance. And change we must, as it is our godly duty to get rid of the fury and the hatred that poisons our souls, makes us sick. Makes us ugly. Tonight, we, the leaders of this great country, will sin, scour, sanitize, and sterilize our souls until we are free again, and this country will be better for it. We are not hypocrites! We practice what we preach. Purge and purify! Say it with me. [The congregation choruses it back] Purge and purify! Purge and purify! Let us begin.

Boy, there's a whole bunch of Negros comin' right this way. And we sitting up here like a bucket of mother**** chicken.

It's time to do something about all these ****s, like that rat Bishop and the **** senator, trying to dismantle everything we've built. We are going to use this year's Purge to do some spring cleaning, gentlemen.

We will now purge. We will torture you and violate your flesh. Remove your skin and share in your blood. This is the American way.

[In a stand-off with Bishop's soldiers]

Now, I'm gonna tell you right now, I like Black people, but I ain't gonna let you all shoot these white folks. These are our white people.
