Dialogue

Nazi General: Five years of construction and research, Grigori. Five years! The Führer doesn't look kindly on failure! Grigori Rasputin: There will be no failure, General. I promised Herr Hitler a miracle. I'll deliver one! What I do tonight, can never be undone! I will open a portal, and awaken the Ogdru Jahad – the Seven Gods of Chaos! Our enemies shall be destroyed, and from the ashes– a new Eden will arise.

Dialogue

John Myers: [about Sammael] What the hell is that thing?! Hellboy: Aw, crap! [peels off a tentacle latched to his arm] Let me go ask.

Dialogue

Sure! [hits him on the head again]

Dialogue

John Myers: [enters the library] Hello? Abe Sapien: Turn the pages, please, if you don't mind. Abe Sapien: Please. [gestures to the books] The pages. John Myers: [glances at the books, then looks at Abe] These? You're reading these? Professor Broom: [from behind Myers] Four books at once– [Myers turns to him] –every day. As long as I'm there to turn the pages. [Approaches Myers] My name's Broom. Professor Trevor Broom. John Myers: Sir, I'm John– Abe Sapien: [presses his hand on the glass] Agent John T. Myers, Kansas City, '76. T stands for Thaddeus, mother's older brother. Scar on your chin happened when you were ten. You still wonder if it's ever going to fade away. John Myers: [touches the scar on his chin, to Broom] How did it–? Professor Broom: He. [chuckles] Not 'it'. Abraham Sapien. Discovered alive in a secret chamber of St. Trinian's Foundling Hospital, Washington. His name was taken from his little inscription stuck to the side of his tank. [points to t

Dialogue

Agent Clay: He gets fed six times a day. He's got a thing for cats. You'll be his nanny, his keeper, his best friend. He never goes out unsupervised. John Myers: Who? Hellboy: I hate those comic books. Hellboy: They never get the eyes right. John Myers: [looks at the comic book, then at Hellboy] Hellboy. He's real. Agent Clay: Yeah, sixty years old, by our count, but, uh, he doesn't age like we do. Think reverse dog years. He's barely out of his twenties. Hellboy: What's with the hair, Clay? Finally got them implants, huh? Agent Clay: [laughs uncomfortably] It'll– It'll fill in. [feels his hair] Hellboy: Who's the squirt? Agent Clay: Agent Myers is your new liaison. Hellboy: [drops the dumbell] I don't want him. What, you get tired of me, Clay? [picks up his lighter and uses it to light his cigar] Agent Clay: [whispers to Myers] The candy. Give him the candy. John Myers: Oh, uh, sir, I, uh– I have these for you. [Holds up the two Baby Ruth bars] Hellboy: Father's back? [Cla

Dialogue

John Myers: He doesn't want me with him. I know that much. He respects Clay, not me. Professor Broom: You're doing fine. John Myers: No, I'm not. Look, I'm really sorry, but I'm not your guy. Professor Broom: I'm dying, Agent Myers. [Myers stops and turns to him] Like any father, I worry about him. In medieval stories, there is often a young knight who is inexperienced, but pure of heart. John Myers: Oh, come on. I am not pure of heart. Abe Sapien: [who is psychic] Yes, you are. Professor Broom: Rasputin is back for him. What I'm asking of you is to have the courage to stand by him when I am gone. He was born a demon; we can't change that. But you will help him, in essence, to become a man.

Dialogue

John Myers: Miss Sherman? Can I call you Liz? It's a beautiful name. Liz Sherman: 60 percent of the women in the world are named Liz. John Myers: Well, it's impressive by my standards. My name's John. John T. Myers. Dr. Broom asked me to invite you back to the Bureau.

Dialogue

[opening narration] What is it that makes a man a man? Is it his origins, the way things start? Or is it something else, something harder to describe? For me, it all began in 1944, classified mission off the coast of Scotland. The Nazis were desperate. Combining science and black magic, they intended to upset the balance of the war. I was 28, already a paranormal advisor to President Roosevelt. I could never have suspected that what would transpire that night would not only effect the course of history, but change my life forever.

Dialogue

Professor Broom: [talking to John Myers about the history of Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense] 1937: Hitler joins the Thule Society, a group of German aristocrats obsessed with the occult. In 1938, he acquired the spear of Longinus, which pierced the side of Christ. He who holds it becomes invincible. Hitler's power increases tenfold. 1943: President Roosevelt decides to fight back. The Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense is born. 1958: the Occult Wars finally come to an end with the death of Adolf Hitler. John Myers: [stops walking for a moment, pausing in thought] 1945, you mean. Hitler died in '45. Professor Broom: [amused] Did he now?

Dialogue

Tom Manning: Every time the media gets a look at him, they come running to me. I'm running out of lies, Trevor. Professor Broom: I thought you liked being on television. Tom Manning: I do. [lights a cigar] So, how many escapes, this year alone? Five? Professor Broom: Tom, he's our guest, not a prisoner. Tom Manning: Yeah, well, your "guest" happens to be six-foot-five, bright red, has a tail, and is government funded.

Dialogue

Professor Broom: [seeing Kroenen descend the stairs into his library] I see the puppet... but where is the puppeteer? Grigori Rasputin: Very good, Professor Broom. [Broom turns to see him sitting nearby] Professor Broom: It was you. The scraps of paper. Liz's sudden relapse and return. Grigori Rasputin: Breadcrumbs on the trail, like in a fable. They both distract him, and guide him exactly where I need him. Professor Broom: Moscow? Grigori Rasputin: His destiny. [rises] And the last clue will be left by the late Professor Broom. You raised the child, nurtured him... so in return, I will permit you a brief, brief glimpse of the future. Grigori Rasputin: He will open the portal and bring about the end of the world. If only you had had him destroyed sixty years ago, none of this would have come to pass... but then, how could you have known? Your God chooses to remain silent. Mine lives within me. Every time I died and crossed over, a little more... [tentacles writhe in his hand] of the m
