Johnny Blaze : [voiceover] It doesn't matter how far you run, there are some demons you just can't escape. My name is Johnny Blaze, I used to ride a motorcycle for a living. I did a bare ass 360 triple back flip in front of twenty two thousand people. It's kind of funny, it's on Youtube, check it out. But when my dad got sick, I did something way crazier than that.
Roarke : You look like you can use a little help, are you willing to make a deal, John?
Johnny Blaze : Do it, save his life, do it!
[voiceover]
Johnny Blaze : Yeah that is right, I'm the guy who made a deal with the devil. Now I know what you're thinking: does this kid ever watch movies, does this ever work out fine? Well, let's just say good judgement wasn't exactly my forte. I was possessed by an ancient demon. In the presence of evil, I change into a monster, and I prey on the wicked, and I suck out their souls. And you don't want to be around when that happens. See, there's good and bad in all of us, and maybe you're not a murderer, but you did something that you didn't want the Rider to see: a white lie, an illegal download. What about you? And you? I've tried to fight it, to hold it back, but the darkness inside me only gets stronger. That's why I had to run, halfway across the world... and I'm still running.

Ray Carrigan : [after Roarke turns him into Blackout] What did you do to me?
Roarke : I gave you a second chance, you're a little less than alive, now. but also more!
[tosses a piece of wood to Blackout which crumbles]
Roarke : See, I've given you power. The power of decay... of darkness.
-
Roarke : [to Ghost Rider] You! Worst fucking deal I ever made.
-
Roarke : [answering phone] Carrigan!
Ray Carrigan : I got your package but the cost of doing business with me just went up.
Roarke : I don't understand.
Ray Carrigan : What's not to understand? I want more. You understand that?
Roarke : We had an agreement, Carrigan. Changing the defined terms of an agreement is something we just don't do.
Ray Carrigan : You told me to get a kid. Not a problem. I've done that with people before. And I have a history with his bitch of a mom, so there's no better guy for the job. But what you didn't tell me, is that I'd be walking into the middle of a goddamn horror movie.
[Roarke laughs]
Ray Carrigan : Oh, this is funny to you? Three of my guys get turned into matchsticks last night by a dude on a motorcycle with his head on fire.
Roarke : Come again?
Ray Carrigan : You heard me. I've seen things, weird things, bad things. But that thing last night? No. No, no, no.
Roarke : Put the boy on the phone.
Ray Carrigan : [holds phone to Danny's ear] Talk. Talk!
Roarke : Danny, do you hear me? I want you to listen very closely. Listen to me.
[whispers demonic talk into phone, Danny screams]
Ray Carrigan : What the hell was that?
Roarke : Think of the child as a sort of computer. You know computers, right? I just uploaded a little program. A firewall. Our friend on the motorcycle won't be able to sense him now, to track him. Of course, he still may be able to find you, so I suggest you keep moving.
[hangs up]

Nadya : When you met the seducer, he offered you something.
Johnny Blaze : Yeah. My father's life. Shocker, he lied.
Nadya : For me, it was only myself. It was suppose to be a big score for Carrigan, but it went bad. I made it out of the third-floor window. I was choking on my own blood. I knew I was gonna die. I could feel it. And that's when he found me.
Roarke : [flash back] You look like you could use a little help.
Johnny Blaze : Roarke.
Nadya : He promised to take the pain away to save my life. But he asked for something in return.
Johnny Blaze : A son?
Nadya : Maybe can never understand.
Johnny Blaze : No, I get it. You're the Devil's baby mama.

[Carrigan is pinned under rubble of concrete]
Roarke : You're not done, Carrigan. You were to bring me Nadya's son. I do expect you to fulfill your obligation.
Ray Carrigan : Sorry, jackass, but I'm dead.
Roarke : Inconvenient.

Roarke : You wanted to know why I look this way. Think of... a flamethrower.
[scene of Ghost Rider urinating fire]
Danny : [laughs]
Roarke : Is that funny? Okay. A flamethrower made of papier-mâché. All that power. But try to use it, you burn up. This body I'm living in, it's weak, human. It's dying. It was never made to things that I can do. But you... you're only part human. You have all the power that I have inside of you. Like father, like son.
[leans on to touch Danny, Danny shrugs him off]
Roarke : But this corporeal form can wield the power without burning itself up.

Roarke : [deleted scene] You wanted to know why I look this way. Think of a flamethrower.
[Danny laughs]
Roarke : Is that funny? Okay. A flamethrower made out of paper-mache. All that power. But try to use it, you burn up. This body I'm living in, it's weak, human. It's dying. It was never made to do the things that I can do. But you, you're only part human. You have all the power that I have inside of you. Like father, like son. But this corporeal form can wield the power without burning itself up. When you accept this gift of love that I've passed on, you will be a force like the world has never seen. And hold in these hands the most unimaginable power. The power to protect your mother. To destroy your enemies. You won't ever have to run again. You won't ever have to be afraid. Oh no. From now on, they'll all be afraid of you. Isn't that what you've always wanted?
[he gets a syringe]
Roarke : To help you relax.
[he puts the sedative to Danny]
Roarke : That will keep him sedated until the ceremony,

Petr Petrowsky : [deleted scene; in Bulgarian] Sorry, closing up.
Roarke : According to the hours posted outside, you're still open.
Petr Petrowsky : [in English] Come on, buddy.
Roarke : I want to rent a car. Petr.
[Petr looks at his name tag]
Petr Petrowsky : What type of car you like?
Roarke : These prices seem a little bit high to me.
Petr Petrowsky : Do you want Taurus? I give you a small car price. Thirty-eight Euro a day.
Roarke : That the best you can do?
Petr Petrowsky : I can throw you in GPS. Deal?
Roarke : Deal.
Petr Petrowsky : Can I see passport? Driving license?
Roarke : You have a daughter.
Petr Petrowsky : Yeah.
Roarke : Children. We're given such a short time here. The only way we can live on is through them.
Petr Petrowsky : Sign, please. Is there a problem? It's a standard contract.
Roarke : If there's one thing I know it's contracts. There's no such thing as a standard one. Every formalized legal agreement is at its essence a transfer of power and now the price you quoted to me was 38.
Petr Petrowsky : Yeah.
Roarke : The small car price. But you've listed the daily rate here as 63.
Petr Petrowsky : What? Yeah. Yeah, you are correct. It's a simple mistake.
Roarke : Are you trying to defraud me?
Petr Petrowsky : Come on, buddy.
Roarke : Seems to get harder and harder for people to stick to the terms of agreements these days.
Petr Petrowsky : It's just a stupid mistake.
Roarke : I want a new contract specifying the appropriate rate.
Petr Petrowsky : Look, buddy, we use this contract, yeah? I made a note for this change. Okay? And I give, uh... I give you one day free. What do you say?
Roarke : I say the Devil is in the details.
[he lifts Petr to the ceiling with his mind]
