John Wick

Marcus: It's been a while. My condolences. How're you holding up? John Wick: I keep asking, "Why her?" Marcus: There's no rhyme or reason to this life. It's days like today scattered among the rest. John Wick: Are you sure? Marcus: Don't blame yourself. John Wick: What are you really doing here, Marcus? Marcus: Just checking up on an old friend. Goodbye, John.

Aurelio: Aurelio speaking. Viggo Tarasov: I heard you struck my son. Aurelio: ...Yes, sir, I did. Viggo Tarasov: And may I ask why? Aurelio: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and uh… killed his dog. Viggo Tarasov: Oh. [hangs up]

Viggo Tarasov: It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to. Iosef Tarasov: Who? That fucking nobody? Viggo Tarasov: That "fuckin' nobody"... is John Wick. He was once an associate of ours. We called him…Baba Yaga. Iosef Tarasov: "The Boogeyman"? Viggo Tarasov: Well, John wasn't exactly "the Boogeyman". He was the one you sent to kill the fuckin' Boogeyman. Iosef Tarasov: …Oh. Viggo Tarasov: John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a pencil. With a fuckin' pencil. Suddenly one day he asked to leave. It was over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day... laid the foundation of what we are now. And then, my son, a few days after his wife died… you steal his car, and kill his fuckin' dog? Iosef Tarasov: Father, I can make this right! Viggo Tarasov: Oh? How do you plan that?

Viggo Tarasov: Hello, John. I heard about your wife. I'm sorry. My condolences. It, uh, seems to be fate, or happenstance, or just bad fucking luck caused our paths to cross again. [no response] John? Let us not resort to our baser instincts, and handle this like civilized men to move on— Avi: What did he say? Viggo Tarasov: [after a pause] Enough. Avi: Oh, God. Viggo Tarasov: Task your crew. Avi: How many? Viggo Tarasov: How many do you have?

Jimmy: Evenin', John. John Wick: Evenin', Jimmy... Noise complaint? Jimmy: [nods] ...Noise complaint. [sees a dead body in the hallway, takes off his hat] You, uh, workin' again? John Wick: Nah, just sortin' some stuff out. Jimmy: Ah, well... I'll leave you be then. [puts on his hat] Good night, John. John Wick: Good night, Jimmy.
