The Equalizer (film)

"A man with his skills, I want to know who he really is. I want to know who hes working for."

"When you pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too."

"Youre supposed to stand for something, punk. Protect and serve. Uphold the law. Justice. Remember?"

"Sometimes we make the wrong choices to get to the right place. I know a part of you died when Vivian did. But not the part she loved the most. Go be him."

"I am offering you a chance to do the right thing. Take it."

"I couldnt tell you why — it mattered. Why what they did to her, that mattered to me so much. One day somebody does something unspeakable to someone else to... someone you hardly knew, and you... do something about it because you can."

"Ive done some bad things in my life, Nicolai... Things Im not proud of. I promised someone I love very much that I would never go back to being that person. But for you, Im going to make an exception. You asked me what I saw when I looked at you. What do you see when you look at me?"

"Robert, I dont have to tell you what happens next. He wont stop until he kills you and anyone you care about."

"You didnt take out five pimps, Robert. You took out the East Coast hub of Vladimir Pushkin. … Hes similar to the oligarchs who jumped in bed with the Russian mafia, only he funds everything: gasoline, weapons, girls, you name it. Hes built an intricate network on both U.S. coasts that are incredibly well-insulated. His money and political ties make him untouchable. Your friend here is who Pushkin sends when hes got a problem. Teddy Rensen — real name, Nicolai Itchenko. Skill set honed in Spetsnaz. Hes formidable and smart. Ran a wing of the secret police for years. Went private when the Union fell. Basically, hes a sociopath with a business card."

"You think you know me? You strike me as a sentimental man, Mr. McCall. Thats surprising. I... I dont possess that chip. I never could understand what comes from feeling that way, except weakness."

"When you look at me... what do you see? The answers nothing. … I have no feelings about you one way or the other. Youre like... like lint or a bottle cap. Youre just a thing to remove."
