- Detective Lipez: Who are you?
- Anthony McCoy: I am the writing on the walls. I am the sweet smell of blood on the street. The buzz that echoes in the alleyways. They will say I shed innocent blood. You are far from innocent, but they will say you were. That's all that matters.
- William Burke: This is where it all began, the story of Candyman. Local character, he'd walk around handing out candy to the neighborhood kids. One day, a couple of kids get razor blades in their candy. The police come around. That's when I saw the true face of fear. They beat him, tortured him, killed him, right there on the spot. A couple weeks later, more razor blades and more candy. He'd been innocent.
- Anthony McCoy: So he's real?
- William Burke: Candyman ain't a He. Candyman's the whole damn hive. If you're out here looking for Candyman, you ask me, stay away!
- William Burke: [on racial violence] Candyman is a way to deal with the fact that these things happened to us, are still happening!
- Haley Gulick, Boof, Annika, Celine: Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman. Candyman.
- [nothing happens]
- Boof: Well, we're still alive.
- Anthony McCoy: Candyman. The urban legend is, if you say his name five times while looking in the mirror, he appears in the reflection, and it kills you.
- William Burke: [on Daniel Rotabille] They chased him down till he finally collapsed from exhaustion, beat him, severed his right hand with rusty saw, smeared him with honey and let bees sting him, but that didn't kill him, only when they set him on fire did he finally die
