Harold Perrineau: Manny

Quotes 

• Manny : You can call me Manny. I was asked to watch over you.

  John Constantine : "Watch over"? No offense, squire, I'm not in the habit of slumming it with angels. You'll murder my reputation.

  Manny : So will a mental hospital.

  John Constantine : Yeah, but I checked out. I'm all better. You hear that? I'm okay! So flap off.

• John Constantine : It feels like that you want me to find out some information for you.

  Manny : I do.

  John Constantine : Why?

  Manny : If you figure out what we're up against, I will use that knowledge to save lives.

  John Constantine : Then what about my life, eh? You and yours damned me to hell. So... why should I risk my last days on earth?

  Manny : Why, indeed. You're a sideshow attraction. A peddler of shabby magic.

  John Constantine : Hang on a minute, now, sunshine.

  Manny : Your decisions are questionable at best, and without conscience. Why should you risk what time you have left? Because you *are* damned to hell. At least for the moment, anyway.

  John Constantine : Are you saying that it's not too late for me to save my soul?

• Manny : You're not okay, John. You damned a girl to Hell; along with it, your soul. Now, I can't change your fate, but I can ease your suffering.

  John Constantine : Go feed off someone else's loss.

  Manny : But yours is exquisite.

  John Constantine : Oh, don't worry about me, mate. I can handle a demon attack.

  Manny : I wouldn't be so sure. You've been out of play a while. There's a lot of panic down here. People can sense what's on the way.

  John Constantine : What's on the way?

  Manny : [hearing sirens]  We should go.

  [he extends his wings and flies off] 

  John Constantine : WAIT! WHAT'S ON THE WAY?

• John Constantine : You know, it's a fine line between "watching over" and "stalking".

  Manny : I was right, wasn't I? It's heating up down here.

• Manny : [inhabiting the body of a bartender]  Cheers. Interesting coincidence. Ritchie had to drive twenty blocks out of the way to pass Edgewood Avenue and stumble onto that crime scene.

  John Constantine : Mm. He made me pay for gas.

  Manny : You scared her away.

  John Constantine : Kind of the point, mate. I work better alone.

  Manny : You failed to grasp the stakes here, John. Liv's power is valuable.

  John Constantine : So is her life! If Liv was gonna join our fight, she had the right to see the risks for herself. All I did was... give her a choice. Which is more than Astra ever had.

  Manny : You said "our fight". That mean you're going to help us?

  John Constantine : Well, it's what you wanted, isn't it? And you call me a con man.

  [standing to leave] 

  John Constantine : Pick up the tab, will you? You bastards are going to owe me.
