Legion Quotes

Michael Find the Prophets. Learn to read the instructions.

Jeep Prophets? What Prophets? What instructions?

Bob (to Jeep) Hey. Hood's up on this car. That mean anything to you?

Gabriel (after he is spared by Michael) I wouldn't have shown you such mercy.

Michael That is why you failed Him.

Charlie When I was a little girl, my mother would remind me each night before bed to open up my heart to God, for he was kind, merciful and just. Things changed when my father left a few years later, leaving her to raise me and my brothers in a place on the edge of the Mojave Desert. She never talked of a kind, merciful God again. Instead she spoke of a prophecy. Of a time when all the world would be covered in darkness and the fate of Mankind would be decided. One night I finally got up the courage to ask my mother why God had changed, why he was so mad at his children. "I don't know," she said, tucking the covers around me, "I guess he just got tired of all the bullshit.

Bob (to Jeep) You know your mother thought I was crazy. For wanting to buy this place. It's all the way up here, in the middle of nowhere, But I just knew it was something I had to do. I couldn't explain it either. Just like you.

Gladys Foster (to Charlie) So, I take it you're not married?

Charlie No.

Gladys Foster (sadly) That's too bad.

Charlie No, I prefer it that way. I don't need a man telling me what to do.

Gladys Foster But what about the baby?

Charlie I got it under control.

Gladys Foster But it's gonna burn.

Charlie (stunned) What did you just say?

Gladys Foster I said, your fucking baby is gonna burn.

Charlie (after a pause, she shakes her head, devastated) Go to hell, old lady. (puts down the menu and storms off) Fucking jesus freak... (the others in the kitchen watch her storm into the kitchen)

Gladys Foster (giggles as she cuts her meat) All the little babies are gonna burn.

Sandra (chuckles nervously) Gladys, I---

Gladys Foster (looks up at Sandra, sharply) Shut up, you stupid fucking cunt! All you do is complain, complain, complain!

Howard (notices what Gladys said, in shock as he gets up) What?! WHAT?! What did you just say?!

Sandra (warning Howard) No, no, don't.

Howard (as he walks up to Gladys, grimly) No, no, no, no, no, no. Now, I don't know who the hell you think you are, but I'd like you to apologize to my wife.

Sandra (traumatized) HOWARD!!!

Gladys Foster (after she angrily flips over the table, shocking everyone) YOU'RE ALL GONNA FUCKIN DIE!!!

Kyle The FUCK, man?!

Percy (demanding) SHOOT HER, JEEP!!

Gladys Foster (chuckles evilly) You will never save her. (Jeep stares in shock)

Percy (furiously) SHOOT THE BITCH!!! (Jeep winces and attempts to pull the gun's trigger) SHOOT HER!!!!!!

Michael I'm following my own orders now.

Percy (about the tv) Lord as my witness, Bob, one of these days that thing's gonna hit you back.

Bob (hitting the tv again) What are you talking about, Percy? We got a special relationship here.

Percy Yeah, they got names for that kind of relationship.

Charlie Why do you have so much faith in me, Jeep? God knows I've never given you or anybody a reason to. Or is it just that you don't have any other hard-luck cases to follow around, is that it?

Jeep (acidly) No. You're not the only one who’s had it hard around here, okay? Let me know when you stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Bob You better start talking.

Michael The last time God lost faith in man he sent a flood. This time, he sent what you see outside.

Percy Are you saying this is the Apocalypse?

Michael I'm saying this is an extermination. Those things outside are just vessels. They're possessed. The weakest willed are the easiest to turn.

Percy (to Michael) Now I'm sure you don't want to go spilling blood for no good reason, in front of all these decent people.

Michael There's a safety switch on the side of your weapon, Push it all the way down. Two clicks. Now when this starts, you hold on tight. Otherwise you're gonna blow your hand off.

Bob You best not be smoking again. Not in your condition.

Charlie Bob, see where I'm at right now? Can my condition really get any worse? - Besides, you ain't one to talk.

Bob (walking to the back of the diner) What? I quit two years ago.

Charlie Yeah? So why are you still carrying that fancy lighter around for, then?

Bob It's a gift from my ex-wife. I'm sentimental. I wanna remember how much I hate her guts.

Charlie You got to stop carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders, Jeep.

Percy (to Jeep) SHOOT HER, JEEP! (Gladys Foster: You will never save her.) SHOOT THE BITCH! SHOOT HER!

Michael It's starting... There isn’t much time.

Michael When God chose your kind as the object of His love, I was the first in all of heaven to bow down before you. My love, my hope for mankind was no less than His. But I have watched you trample that gift. I have watched you kill each other over race and greed... waging war over dust and rubble and the words in old books. And yet, in the midst of all this darkness, I see some people who will not be bowed. I see some people who will not give up, even when they know all hope is lost. Some people, who realize being lost is so close to being found. I see you, Jeep. Fifteen years old, your mother leaves. Your father withdraws from the world and you spend the next five years of your young life helping him find his way home. You love a woman who bears the child of another and you love her with no thought of yourself, even though you know she may never love you the way you love her. You, Jeep... you are the reason I still have faith.

Charlie You do too much worrying. About this place. About your dad. About me.

Jeep You're the only thing I like to worry about.

Charlie See what I mean? You're worried about a girl that's eight months pregnant and it isn't your baby. It's enough to give anybody nightmares.

Jeep Go ahead and make fun of me. Everybody else does.

Jeep How do you know so much about them?

Michael Because until last night, I was on their side.

Jeep So you're saying...

Bob Yeah, that's right. Yesterday I was fucking Santa Claus. I mean, you know this is crazy, right? I mean, I don't even believe in God.

Michael Well that's just fine, Bob, he doesn't believe in you either. He doesn't believe in any of this anymore.

Percy I knew this day was coming, I just didn't think I'd be around to see it.

Bob Oh, come on, Percy! What are we even talking about this for?! Angels and possessed people! It's not real!

Percy Have you looked outside, Bob? I mean, those people aren't exactly our regular customers!

Bob (about Gladys) I can't believe she was still standing after Percy hit her with that frying pan.

Jeep Who would be crazy enough to steal a cop car?

Michael I knew HE'd send you, Gabriel. You were always so eager to please Him.

Gabriel Unlike you... the rebellious son. (looking to Michael's back) Your wings. They would have helped you now.

Michael To not feel that burden is a dream.

Gabriel You think you can defy Him and not pay the price?

Michael The child lives... It doesn't matter what happens to me.

Gabriel Yours is a fools sacrifice, Michael. You can help them run but they won't escape.

Michael I'm not running anymore.

Percy I don't know what book you've been reading but in my version the angels are good guys.

Michael Well the truth, I'm afraid, is never that simple.

Bob (aiming the gun at Michael) Take one more step and I'll drop you right there.

Michael Is that how you greet all your customers?

Bob Mister, after what we've been through you're lucky we don't shoot you first and greet you later.

Kyle Are there any phones around here that actually work?

Charlie Bob will probably let you use the diner phone if you ask him nice. Maybe pay him a little something.

Bob (to Michael) Alright, Rambo. You got us up here. You mind telling us what we're fighting?

Jeep We need to figure out our weapon situation. Hopefully Michael didn't take everything out of the car.

Percy (to Bob) I told you to get the satellite TV. But you didn't want to listen.

Angel (possessing the cop) What are you doing, Michael? These weren't your orders.

Gladys Foster You will never save her!

Howard Audrey. Honey, listen. It's the Ice Cream Man.

Possessed Girl See what you made me do, mother?!
