Holyman Undercover:
“I wanted to stay on the straight and narrow, but there was never enough time.”

“Well, hell, Kurt, accomplishing one thing or the other is not what's going to make you worthy of her. Life is not about what you can achieve. It's about what you can become. It's a journey, son.

“You know what? Forget it. I can't do this”“What do you mean?”“Who am I to tell you what to believe?”“But you know this stuff.”“I never believed it. None of it. I talked about God all the time but... Guess I was just one of those false teachers that the Bible says would show up in the last days.”

Suing The Devil:
“And I believe in the devil. That's when it hit me. Every problem in the world today is somehow related to this evil being. It's all lies and deception. And because of this snake, the world continues spiralling downward.”
“The devil is alive and is well.”
“You know, every day there's people that die, and guess what? They're in just two places, and they're not really dead. They're either alive in heaven or alive in hell. You pick.”
“I want you to win it. You hear me? I want you to win it.”
“I may be blind, but I can see. The book of Luke says, watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name claiming I am he. And the time is near.”
“Do you know what my ultimate goal is? It's to take all you nitwits to hell with me!”
“I'm watching you. You want to know the truth? The real, honest, gut level truth? I take sheer delight in creating havoc in the world, pitting rich against the poor, race against race, country against country, man against man. But most especially, man against God.”
“What's the matter? Don't you love the music of hell?”
“Ever been to hell, boy? It's not a fun place.”
“All I'd like to say is the world is full of losers. How many people will sue me and blame me because they can't get their act together? Huh, okay; they're losers. Mr. Luke O'Brien, are you listening?”
“I want you to go as low as Hell.”
“You know, guys, it's funny. Because most people are in a spiritual battle every single day of their life. They just go about their busy lives, never fulfilling what God really intended for them.”
The Hill (2023):
“Now, listen. You're special. You got the heart of a lion. But you got the soul of a tender lamb. And I wanna protect that. If you're not playing baseball, you got your time all freed up to pursue a higher calling, preaching God's word. Where your earthly legs have failed you, God's gonna give you wings to fly.”
Nefarious (2023):
“Then you already know he's a master manipulator. Absolute genius. And right now, his entire existence is focused on one thing. Convincing you he's totally insane.”
“You listen to him, by the time he's done with you, he'll have your head so twisted around you'll think
you're the killer, not him.”
“Well, no, but I chose you because I need you to do something for me. See, you're gonna write my story.”
“Do you believe in demonic possession? The idea of a malevolent entity controlling a person's thoughts and actions. Do you believe that?”
“And you think that scares me?”“Oh, it should. I mean, it, it would me. Being so near to death.”“Death doesn't scare me, James.”“And why is that?”“Because I can't die. See, James, I'm a demon.”
“We offer up a series of temptations gradually increasing in terms of duration and intensity. Degree of moral inequity. Absence of baptism in this case allows us to begin work long before the age of reason. At three, age of five, maybe, a theft of a toy car can do a great deal. Then we move on to bigger and better things. At eight, grandmother's gift of a Ouija board gives immediate access to his decision-making. So, we began steering them, without him bothering, calling into question exactly who was doing the steering. Enough yesses and a few enough noes gives increasing rights over the victim's physical and mental processes.”
“Do you understand why I'm here? Do you realize I have the power to save you or condemn you?”
“What do you want with me, son of God? Come here to torture me before the appointed time?”
“Do you think I'm evil, James?”“Evil isn't a clinical diagnosis. Good and evil are societal constructs, effectively subjective value statements.”“Do you think my victims thought I was evil?”“Why is it so important that I think you're evil?”
“I didn't know this was a fight.”“That's why you're losing.”
“You know, ain't nothing you done can't be forgiven.”
