Quotes

Man on Fire

Edit
  • Rayburn: [refering to Creasy to Miguel Manzano in the Agency for Federal Investigation Headquarters] A man can be an artist... in anything, food, whatever. It depends on how good he is at it. Creasy's art is death. He's about to paint his masterpiece.
  • Elderly Man: In the church, they say to forgive.
  • Creasy: Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting.
  • Lisa: What are you gonna do?
  • Creasy: What I do best. I'm gonna kill 'em. Anyone that was involved. Anybody who profited from it. Anybody who opens their eyes at me.
  • Lisa: [Whispering] You kill 'em all.
  • Sister Anna: [after driving Pita to school for the first time] Do you ever see the Hand of God in what you do?
  • Creasy: No, not for a long time.
  • Sister Anna: The Bible says, "Do not be over come with evil, but overcome...?
  • Creasy: But overcome evil with good."
  • Creasy: [in Spanish] That's Romans Chapter 12 Verse 21.
  • Creasy: I am the sheep that got lost, Madre.
  • Rayburn: [refering to Creasy, to Miguel Manzano in the Agency for Federal Investgations] He'll deliver more justice in a weekend than ten years of your courts and tribunals.
  • Pita: Dear God, I do not ask for health or wealth. People ask you so often that you can't have any left. Give me, God, what else you have. Give me what no-one else asks for. Amen.
  • Pita: I love you, Creasy. And you love me too, don't you?
  • Creasy: Yes, I do. With all my heart, Pita. Go.
  • [Creasy has rectally inserted a five minute time bomb into Fuentes]
  • Fuentes: [with both his hands tied to the hood of the car] A last wish, please, please. Please.
  • Creasy: Last wish? I wish you had more time.
  • Creasy: Okay, my friend. It's off to the next life for you. I guarantee you, you won't be lonely.
  • Fuentes: [with both his hands tied to the hood of the car] You know, I-I'm a professional.
  • Creasy: That's what everybody keeps saying. "I'm just a professional". Everybody keeps saying that to me. "I'm just a professional", "I'm just a professional". I'm getting sick and tired of hearing that.
  • Creasy: [during a barbeque cookout at his home with his family] Do you think God'll forgive us for what we've done?
  • Rayburn: No.

  • Pita: You were.
  • Creasy: No, I was not.
  • Pita: You're not now, but you were.
  • Creasy: No, *you* were smiling, I wasn't smiling.
  • Pita: You were.
  • Creasy: When?
  • Pita: Like, five seconds ago.
  • Creasy: I'm not smiling.
  • Pita: Well, a second ago you were.
  • Creasy: No, you said five seconds ago, now that's six. Six seconds ago I was not smiling.
  • Pita: Okay, 10 seconds ago.
  • Creasy: 10 seconds ago, I was smiling. Okay, in the next 10 seconds let's see who smiles first.
  • [pause]
  • Creasy: You smiled already. See? You did.
  • Pita: Mmm.
  • [pointing at Creasy]
  • Creasy: No, that wasn't a - That was a smirk, that's not a smile. A smirk is different. They both start with "S," but they're not the same - Do your homework.
  • Pita: [Creasy walks away] You were.
  • Creasy: [using a military approach to train her how to swim faster] There is no such thing as tough. There is trained and untrained. Now which are you?
  • Rayburn: [over the phone with Creasy] Well, you know what they say. A bullet always tells the truth.
  • [last lines]

  • Pita: There are some good things in this world.
  • Creasy: Oh yeah, like what?
  • Pita: Like meeting me.
  • Creasy: [Creasy to Rayburn in Rayburn's truck regarding punishing those who kidnapped Pita] Revenge is a meal best served cold.
  • Pita: [while doing her homework in her room] What was your first girlfriends' name?
  • Creasy: Nonya.
  • Pita: Nonya who?
  • Creasy: Nonya business.
  • Creasy: Do you know what this is? It's a charger used by convicts to hide money and drugs they tuck it up their rectum. This is pencil detonator, timer, used as a receiver from the pager. This is C4 highly explosive; you put it all together you've got a bomb, not very sophisticated, but very powerful.
  • [whispers in his ear]
  • Creasy: That's what you have in your ass right now. Don't move! Don't move!
  • Creasy: Did you say good bye to her? Say good bye now.
  • [Show's the man a picture of Pita, kisses the photo, and then shoots him]
  • Creasy: [using a military approach to train her how to swim faster] The gunshot holds no fear, say it.
  • Pita: The gunshot holds no fear.
  • Creasy: You welcome the sound. In fact it's the sound that sets you free. You are a prisoner on this block until that sound sets you free.
  • Pita: You're late.
  • Creasy: I'm sorry.

  • Pita: Are you afraid of me?
  • Creasy: I used to be. At first. But not any more.
  • Pita: Good.
  • Creasy: [to Fuentes, with both his hands tied to the hood of the car] I got all the time in the world. *You* don't, but I do.
  • [translated from the Spanish]
  • song lyrics: A word does not say anything, and at the same time it hides everything. Just as the wind that hides the water, like the flowers that mud hides. A glance does not say anything, and at the same time it says everything. Like rain on your face, or an old treasure map. A truth does not say anything, and at the same time it hides everything. Like a bonfire that does not go out, like a stone that is born dust. If one day you need me, I will be nothing. And at the same time I will be everything. Because in your eyes are my wings, and the shore where I drown. Because in your eyes are my wings, and the shore where I drown.
  • Samuel: [in his car] Your resume is quite impressive. 16 years of miltary experience, extensive counter-terrorism work. I'm surprised anyone could afford you, what's the catch?

  • Creasy: So that's how it works huh?
  • Rayburn: That's how it works.
  • [Georgina brings Rayburn his drink]
