Harold Perrineau: Manny

Quotes 

• Manny : "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of the devil. Ye cannot have part in the Lord's table and the table of the devils. Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?"

  John Constantine : Oh, bloody hell.

  Manny : Have you lost all hope in salvation, John? You invited a demon into your body.

  John Constantine : It worked. He healed me.

  Manny : Of course it worked! The First of the Fallen gives temporary power to those who believe his lies, but they become his possessions.

  John Constantine : Well, I didn't see God coming down that tunnel to help me, or you.

  Manny : You didn't even ask, John. Instead, you sought the help of a demon. It's all such a waste. You found the force behind the rising darkness. We could've stopped it, you and I together.

  John Constantine : You think I wanted this?

  Manny : You know what I think? To save yourself from hell, you acted without considering the consequences. It's not that I can't help you, John. I won't.

• John Constantine : Was it something I said?

  Julio : They're Santa Muerte.

  John Constantine : Are they now?

  Julio : Feos bastardos have the run of the prison. They're sworn to avenge the death of their brothers. The ones you killed.

  John Constantine : They're the least of my worries. Have you got a light?

  Manny : Those things will kill you.

• John Constantine : I thought you washed your hands of me.

  Manny : You know, I got to admit, I never thought you'd do anything this stupid.

  John Constantine : I'm John Constantine. I do stupid in spades.

  Manny : And how are you feeling?

  John Constantine : Like I've got a bloody marching band in my skull. Sorry I put a crimp in your grand game plan. Are you honestly telling me that none of your cloud-huggers had any clue that the Brujeria were back in business?

  Manny : You know, some evil is so powerful, it can hide from heaven itself. Lamashtu wasn't working alone. The Brujeria have other operatives working close at hand. Identifying this enemy was always the first step in defeating the rising darkness.

  John Constantine : Well, if this goes pear-shaped, then I guess you'll have to find yourself a new operative on the ground.

  Manny : Not many like you down here, John.

  John Constantine : Manny.

  Manny : Yes, John.

  John Constantine : I'm not ready to die.

  Manny : Are you afraid of what's waiting for you?

  John Constantine : No, I earned what I got coming to me. I just... I have more work to do.

  Manny : Then that makes this a crucible. And for the sake of the mortal realm, I hope you find what you need.

  John Constantine : What if I don't know what I need?

• John Constantine : Well, I didn't see God coming down that tunnel to help me, or you!

  Manny : You didn't even ask, John... instead, you sought the help of a demon.
