Winston (John Wick)

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

— What does he want you to do?
— I didn't ask. I just said no.

— Killing a man can turn him into a martyr. Letting him live... tells the world he's a coward or a turncoat.
— So what are you?
— Aggrieved.

We live by a code. Which is why I'm not the one telling you that a certain helicopter at a certain helipad is being fueled for a certain someone.

— What the hell were you thinking, giving a marker to a man like Santino D'Antonio?
— It was the only way I could get out.
— Oh. You call this 'out'?

— Winston... tell them. Tell them all. Whoever comes, whoever it is... I'll kill them. I'll kill them all.
— 'Course you will.

You got out once. You dip so much as a pinky back into this pond, you may well find something reaches out and drags you back into its depths.

— Ned Kelly's final words as the hangman slipped the noose around his neck were "Such is life." "Such is life." Can you imagine the acceptance, the defiance?
— Today is not the day you will die.
— Of that, I am sure. You have the unshakeable faith of David, my friend, but you shouldn't be here. This will not be pleasant.
— Such is life, sir.
