Devil

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your
  adversary the Devil walks about
  like a roaring lion, seeking whom
  he may devour."

Peter 5:8

& Ramirez: When I was a child, my mother would tell me a story about how the Devil roams* the Earth. Sometimes, she said, he would take human form so he could punish the damned on Earth before claiming their souls. The ones he chose would be gathered together and tortured as he hid amongst them, pretending to be one of them. {...} My mother's story would always begin the same way, with a suicide paving the way for the Devil's arrival. And it would always end with the deaths of all those trapped.


& Detective Bowden: That's what you're talking about?
   Ramirez: Everybody believes in him a little bit, even guys like you who pretend they don't. Whats this?
   Bowden: An apology note left at the site of a hit-and-run. My wife and son were killed down on Bethlehem Pike five years ago, but that's okay, because whoever did it is sorry. You can tell by the heartfelt apology on the back of a car wash coupon... So no, I don't believe in the Devil. You don't need him, people are bad enough by themselves.

& Detective Bowden: In a hypothetical conversation that I'm not really having, how would this story of yours end?
   Ramirez: They all die.
   Bowden: That's it?
   Ramirez: Yeah.


& Ramirez: This is not your fault. They made the choices that brought them here.


& Old Woman: The whores, the liars, the cheats and the deserters, it's always the same thing.


& Ramirez: After my mother would finish her story, she would always comfort us. "Don't worry," she'd say. "If the Devil is real, then G-d must be real, too."
