Best Quotes


 

Varrick: You ever hear that saying, “Listen to your elders?” Big phrase, especially here in Japan.
Kate: So you’re an elder now?
Varrick: “Elder” doesn’t necessarily mean old. It just means older. As in smarter, wiser.


 

Varrick: What happened in Osaka shouldn’t have. It was wrong. Nobody knew she’d be there.
Kate: We had one rule, V. One simple rule. No kids.
Varrick: I know. I mean, this ain’t your first rodeo. You know there’s collateral damage. You know that.
Kate: I can’t shake it. Trust me, I’ve tried.


 

Kate: Look, I promised I’d finish the job, and I will. And then I’m out. I want a life, V. You know, I never had one. A real, regular life.
Varrick: What does that mean? I mean, what, family? Kids? Picket fence? Dogs? Suburbs?
Kate: I don’t know. Something like that.
Varrick: Two trips to Walmart, you’ll be back.


 

Stephen: I mean, listen. The worst way to start a conversation is a “hey”. It’s boring. It’s dull. It’s for horses. So anything but that. I’m Stephen.
Kate: Hey.


 

Varrick: Now you start the rest of your life. What’s your name?
Young Kate: Kate.
Varrick: Kate. I’m Varrick. I’m your handler now. That makes me your mother, your father, your best friend, and your therapist.


 

Kate: How much time do I have?
Doctor: A day, maybe. But we will make it painless for you.
Kate: S**t.


 

Kate: [to the doctor] Five liters of blood in the body, heart pumps two a minute. Gun’s on your femoral. You do the math. I need something to keep me going. I want stimulants.


 

Kate: Why did you poison me?
Stephen: What are you talking about? Poison? I didn’t know it was… They told me it was just a roofie so they could lift the room.
Kate: Who? Who told you?
Stephen: Even if I knew, I’d be dead if I tell you.

Kanako: I’m Kanako. And it seems we’re the same. Collateral damage.
Kate: I’m Kate. And they’re going to know I was here.
Kanako: Who?
Kate: Everyone.


 

Kate: This was revenge for Osaka?
Varrick: Some people have this extraordinary attachment to their siblings, as if genetics make a family.


 

Sato: Who are you?
Kate: Did you poison me? You don’t tell me, I kill you. I think you’re lying, I kill you. Did you poison me?
Kate: [as Sato looks down] Yeah.


 

Kate: Where is Kijima? How do I get to him?
Sato: Nobody knows.
[she shoots him in the head]


 

Ani: [in English and Japanese, to Kate] You’re crazy. You want to get Kijima? Dips**t foreigner. You think you can… You can’t get to him this way. He doesn’t give a s**t about me. No one does.

Ani: Ew, what the f***? Oh, my God, what is wrong with you?
Kate: Sit down. I said, sit down!
Ani: Yeah, no way. You’re all gross and sick. And you know what? F*** you, cancer b**ch.


 

Ani: So many scars, and blood. It’s so…
Kate: It’s gross, I know.
Ani: No, no, no. I think it’s awesome.


 

Kate: Stop following me. Stop.
Ani: What? You’re just going to leave me, then?
Kate: Kijima didn’t show. You’re useless to me now.
Ani: Did you see what just happened? My own family wants me gone! Where the f*** will I go?
Kate: Not my problem.
Ani: I’ll be dead before the night’s over.
Kate: Hey, that makes two of us.


 

Ani: Why did you save me, then, huh?
Kate: You’re making me regret it!
Ani: No! You can’t abandon me. I know Kijima killed my dad, and he will kill me. What did I do wrong, huh? I haven’t done anything to anybody, but they still treat me like s**t!

Ani: Everybody, all the time, just throwing me around, like I’m some piece of garbage.
Kate: Shut up! You don’t know what you’re talking about. You just yap, yap, yap. Just, “F*** this. F*** that.” You don’t know anything! You’re a kid!


 

Ani: What’s wrong with you?
Kate: I’m dying.
Ani: Kijima did this, right? Now you’re going to go kill him. You’re a bada** killer m**herf***er.


 

Ani: You’ll need me, you know. Like, just look at you. You won’t make it an hour without my help, okay? And I can do everything, okay? I know who, where, when, whatever. I can help you get him, get my uncle.
Kate: Okay.
Ani: And I’m really good at shortcuts, and maps, and… What?
Kate: I said okay.


 

Kate: You know what? This is stupid. Let’s go.
Ani: Yeah, clean clothes are stupid. “Everything I should wear should be just covered in blood.”


 

Ani: [to Kate] You’re so cool. But you’re also a Terminator, b**ch.

Ani: Seriously, we’re actually pretty much the same.
Kate: Scary.


 

Kate: [to Ani] Stop. Speak less. Open your ears.


 

Kate: We’re going to distract them. You’re going to distract them.
Ani: How?
Kate: By being you. Just, you know, louder.
Ani: Okay, cool. So, can I have a gun?
Kate: No.


 

Jojima: What do you want from Renji-san?
Kate: It’s not your concern.
Jojima: Of course, it is my concern.
Kate: Your concern is to stay whole until I leave here.


 

Jojima: [in Japanese, as he’s about to shoot Kate] This is what we do to monsters intruding on our home.


 

Kate: I got to be honest, I’m having a rough night.

Kate: I’m going to finish it, V. Hey, I promised you, didn’t I?
Varrick: Kate, tell me where you are. I’ll come to you right now. Let me help you.
Kate: Don’t. I’ll already be dead anyway. You can find my body near a house in Hottazaka, in the hills. Goodbye, V.


 

Kate: No more questions.
Ani: I don’t know anything about you.
Kate: Don’t need to.
Ani: Do you want to know about me?
Kate: I know enough.
Ani: But I’m the last person you’ll get to know. You don’t want to know me? That’s sad, Kate. I think that’s really, it’s sad.


 

Ani: [to Kate, referring to her mother] I don’t know what she looks like. She was like you, I bet. Tall and pretty. No s**t from no dudes. Just doing what she wants all the time. Total killer babe.


 

Kate: Go on. I’ll finish this.
Ani: What? You’ll finish it? Hey, look at you. You can’t stand, and you can’t see. Okay? You’re going to die.
Kate: Yeah, after I kill him.


 

Ani: I’m here now. I’m coming with you.
Kate: No, you’re not.
Ani: Why not? I go where you go.
Kate: Because you’re a f***ing kid. Go be one. I never could. Hey, Ani. You’re young. You have time to forget. Be someone less angry. Take control of your own life. Go.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese, to Kate] The ghost of Oiwa returns to avenge her death. But these endeavors, they’re never simple. Not when it comes to family.


 

Kate: [in Japanese] Was it revenge for Osaka?
Kijima: [in Japanese] Why do you think that? What do I have to gain from your death now? You are an instrument. You do not matter to me. Only my family does.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese, to Kate, referring to his brother] He’s dead not because of you, but because I failed to see envy taking root in my own family. The Western disease spreading like cancer within one of mine.


 

Ani: I didn’t know Kate had any stupid friends.
Varrick: Well, she’s got you, doesn’t she? But you’re right. She and I aren’t really friends, more family.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese] You expected loyalty? As did I. Instead, we are getting what we deserve.
Kate: No, but Varrick, he’s…
Kijima: [in Japanese] A smug Westerner. It’s their way to take and take, until there’s nothing left. To gorge on cultures they don’t understand, and then evacuate their bowels
on the rest of the world.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese, to Kate, referring to Varrick] Pity is what I feel for you now. Used by him your entire life, and now you’re dying for his sins.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese] I know now, as an old man burdened by his mistakes, that my biggest regret is abandoning the one innocent soul, my little Ani when she needed me the most.


 

Kate: I have to finish this. I’m dying. I have to finish something.
Kijima: [in English and Japanese] Death is the time for the beginnings. You will let me retain my honor. We deserve the comeuppance, and I am ready to atone. Are you?


 

Ani: You lied to me! I killed someone for you. You killed my whole family. You b**ch!
Kate: No, please. Just shoot me if you want, but just don’t get in that car, okay? Look at me. Look at me. I’m begging you.


 

Kate: Look, you’re stronger than I am, okay? You don’t have to end up here.
Ani: Just shut the f*** up! I have nothing left, okay?
Kate: It’s what they do. You and me, we’re collateral…
[Ani shoots her in the face]


 

Ani: Now what?
Varrick: Now, you start the rest of your life.


 

Varrick: Are you going to let that pain overwhelm you? Control you? Maybe you can embrace it. And let it empower you.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese, to Kate] Death is a beginning, yes?


 

Renji: [referring to Kate] You ordered her termination. “If she’s leaving, I will terminate her.” Your words exactly.
Varrick: “If.” I said, “If.” Key word, “if”. She was coming back. I just had to work it. I was working it. She would have changed her mind. I would have changed my mind.


 

Varrick: Let’s, maybe we do our best to put this behind us. In the name of being human.
Renji: I prefer self-interest. I trust it more.
Varrick: I can’t say I can trust you going forward.
Renji: Trust was not a part of the deal.
Varrick: Neither is friendship.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese] I will handle my family business personally.
Kate: [in Japanese] As will I.
Kijima: [in Japanese] This is impossible in your condition.
Kate: [in Japanese] The shot bought me another hour.
Kijima: [in Japanese] It will be an hour in hell.
Kate: [in Japanese] She’s worth it.


 

Kijima: [in Japanese] You are a dishonorable killer, are you not?
Kate: Not tonight.


 

Kate: Ani, I’d give anything to take it back. I’d take it all back. I’m so sorry.
Varrick: But guess we got to just accept who we are now. And you know, Kate, that we are…
Kate: Tools.
Varrick: Well, I was going to say, “Indispensable parts of a system.”
Kate: That you created and controlled.
Varrick: A necessary system, Kate. One that cannot accommodate dissent.


 

Varrick: I promise, you it is not what you think it is.
Kate: It turns out nothing ever was. And I’m not looking away anymore.


 

Kate: Don’t do this, Varrick.
Varrick: Don’t you do this, Kate. My entire f***ing life, I never loved anyone, except you.
Kate: Come on, V. We both know you only love yourself.


 

Varrick: Life had such big things waiting for you.
Kate: My life wasn’t mine. Till now.
[they both shoot each other]


 

Varrick: [to Kate as he dies] Great shot.


 

Kate: [to Ani] I know you.
Ani: It’s okay.
[Kate takes her last breath]
