Quotes

The First Power

Edit
  • Tess Seaton: Patrick you can't keep on killing forever!
  • Patrick Channing: Wanna Bet!
  • [last lines]
  • Patrick Channing: See you around, buddy-boy.
  • Russell Logan: Forgive me father, for I have sinned.
  • Priest: How long since your last confession, my son?
  • Russell Logan: It's been a long time. We had kind of a... parting of the ways.
  • Mazza: [Whilst on a stakeout, Mazza looks at Carmen's behind admiringly with binoculars] Hey Carmen... how about a nightcap later?
  • Carmen: Dream on.
  • Mazza: That's too bad. Watching your ass is the only thing keeping me awake up here!
  • Russell Logan: You know what your problem is, Ollie? All this mumbo jumbo occult bullshit has got you spooked. The guy's got you thinking he's the boogeyman or the Ku Klux Klan.
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: Fuck you!
  • Russell Logan: That's "fuck you, sir!"
  • Russell Logan: Is this a stakeout or a fucking parade?
  • Lieutenant Grimes: [after hearing on the radio that Carmen has disappeared during her stakeout] Ah, she's probably just taking a piss...
  • Russell Logan: [after being stabbed by Patrick, Logan jumps on him and starts smashing his head against the pavement] You son of a bitch! You motherfucker! How does it feel huh? How does it feel!
  • Patrick Channing: [Outside the courthouse prior to sentencing] How's it goin' Russ? Stomach ok?
  • Patrick Channing: [Prior to being sentenced to death] See you around, buddy boy.
  • Russell Logan: I doubt it.
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [after seeing Patrick Channing put to death in the gas chamber, his arm twitches] It's just aftershocks. Like a chicken with his head cut off!
  • Patrick Channing: [On an answering machine message after being executed] Looks like the score is Pentagram 16, LAPD 1. Nah... not even 1, huh Logan?
  • Commander Perkins: I wanna know how a guy jumps off a 10 storey building, waves at you, then just walks away?
  • Lieutenant Grimes: It's too bad about your suspect, Logan. Maybe he flew away, like a little birdie... tweet tweet!
  • Russell Logan: Where did he go?
  • Gang Member #2: Who?
  • Russell Logan: The guy who just jumped off the roof!
  • Gang Member #2: Jumped off the roof? What you been smokin'?
  • Russell Logan: Where's my witness?
  • Lieutenant Grimes: Oh, you mean the woman whose house you illegally entered? Who you then abducted, and recklessly endangered the life of during a high-speed auto pursuit? Her lawyer came and got her. You wanna hear the size of the lawsuit he was talking about?
  • Russell Logan: [after hijacking and damaging someone's car to evade Patrick Channing] Call this number, ask for Inspector Perkins. On second thought, talk to Lieutenant Grimes. He'll take care of your damages personally.
  • Driver in Alley: Anytime, officer.
  • Russell Logan: Look, Miss Seaton...
  • Tess Seaton: Tess.
  • Russell Logan: Tess, right. I want to...
  • Tess Seaton: You don't have to thank me.
  • Russell Logan: Would you quit finishing my sentences for me?
  • Tess Seaton: Sorry.
  • Russell Logan: It's no wonder your boyfriend split.
  • Tess Seaton: Wasn't my boyfriend. We just went out a few times.
  • Russell Logan: Amazing it lasted that long!
  • Commander Perkins: Are you trying to tell me that Grimes tried to kill you?
  • Russell Logan: What do you think, Al? I dragged him up there and dropped him on that spike for nothing?
  • Commander Perkins: Yeah, he was a drunk and a total prick, but he was also a lieutenant in the LAPD, and I do not believe that he suddenly went fucking insane or was secretly a member of some fucking cult!
  • Russell Logan: Tess, every time you kill the fucker, he bounces into somebody else!
  • Russell Logan: [Patrick Channing has possessed Sister Marguerite] Let her go, Patrick.
  • Sister Marguerite: So soon? I just got here.
  • Russell Logan: [Patrick Channing has possessed Sister Marguerite] Come out and face me, you son of a bitch. Don't hide behind her!
  • Sister Marguerite: Don't you know that cursing is a sin?
  • [Hits Logan]
  • Russell Logan: [Patrick Channing has possessed Sister Marguerite] Sister...
  • Sister Marguerite: Oh, I'm afraid she's not here!
  • Sister Marguerite: [Patrick Channing has possessed Sister Marguerite - Logan pulls a gun on her] You won't shoot a nun! Not a good little catholic boy like you!
  • Patrick Channing: [Ending his possession of Sister Marguerite to reveal his true self] It's just you and me, buddy boy.
  • Patrick Channing: Time for your acid bath!
  • Russell Logan: You wanna hide out from the rest of the world in this little rat hole, I don't give a damn! But he's taken Tess and I'm not leaving until you tell me how to find her.
  • Sister Marguerite: You don't have any idea what you'll be facing.
  • Russell Logan: I don't care!
  • Russell Logan: How do I stop him?
  • Sister Marguerite: It's not just stopping HIM - it's stopping a being who has The First Power.
  • Russell Logan: [Opens a box filled with grenades and other explosives] A buddy on the bomb squad gave me this stuff for a rainy day. Channing can't do anything to us without using somebody else's body. So everyone he sends at us, we're gonna send right back!
  • Tess Seaton: That's great. What are we gonna do? Blow up the whole city?
  • Russell Logan: [Patrick Channing has possessed Sister Marguerite] Keep fighting him, Marguerite. You can beat him. Don't give up. He isn't powerful. He's just a scared little boy who used to run and hide in the dark.
  • Sister Marguerite: You're pathetic Logan.
  • Russell Logan: Tell me something Patrick, it's just a wild guess. But I bet the first one you killed was your grandfather. I should I say, your father?
  • Sister Marguerite: [Getting agitated] Shut up!
  • Russell Logan: You didn't know I knew that, did you Patrick? You had to watch him, didn't you? That was it!
  • Sister Marguerite: SHUT UP LOGAN!
  • Tess Seaton: Hey, asshole!
  • [Smacks Patrick across the face with a metal bar, sending him falling off the platform]
  • Russell Logan: [Russell takes Tess to his apartment and there's a mess in the lounge room] Maid's day off.
  • Russell Logan: [On a stakeout] He'll show.
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: Y'know, that's all you've been saying for three days: "He'll show". You ought to put that to music!
  • Patrick Channing: [Whilst getting strapped down to a chair in the gas chamber prior to getting put to death] Left one's a little loose!
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [Witnessing Patrick Channing being put to death] Adios, creep!
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [Looking at Tess in the interrogation room] Good looking broad, nice threads. Doesn't look like a nut. Says she knows who did it but will only talk to you, man.
  • Russell Logan: Let's give the lady what she wants.
  • Tess Seaton: I saw you on TV celebrating a man's execution, like it was a party. Bye bye, Patrick. Adios. Good riddance. Except, he's back. You might have executed his body, but his spirit has been released.
  • Russell Logan: Oh, I see. His "spirit"?
  • Tess Seaton: Yes, his spirit. And I am frightened. I am VERY frightened.
  • Russell Logan: Thank you for coming in, Miss Seaton.
  • Tess Seaton: Don't patronize me, I am not some crackpot!
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [after pushing the doorbell to Tess' house, there's no answer so Logan takes out his lockpick] It wouldn't hurt if we had a warrant.
  • Russell Logan: We'll just tell the judge we had a psychic hunch!
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [after being impressed by Tess' large house and swimming pool] Well, kiss my black ass! Looks like the psychic business pays pretty well.
  • Russell Logan: Forget it. You wouldn't look good in a turban.
  • Detective Oliver Franklin: [after searching Tess' house, Logan finds newspaper articles and clippings with his name on them] You better look out, man. She might have a Voodoo love doll of you around here somewhere too!
  • Tess Seaton: [after Mazza tries to follow Tess, she confronts him] Looking for something?
  • Mazza: What?
  • Tess Seaton: You've been following me the last two blocks.
  • Mazza: Are you crazy, lady?
  • Tess Seaton: Don't bother lying. It's all over your aura.
  • Mazza: My what?
  • Tess Seaton: If you're lonely, try computer dating. But leave ME alone, or I'll call the cops!
  • Russell Logan: Don't fuck with me! There's a woman dead, a good cop, and you had something to do with it!
  • Russell Logan: You're gonna listen to me, and I don't want any more horseshit! No more goblins, no more tooth fairies... you're gonna tell me about your friends!
  • Tess Seaton: What are you talking about?
  • Russell Logan: This yuppie psychic routine just doesn't cut it!
