Reflections on Loss and Life's Uncertainty
Marcus
It's been a while. My condolences. How're you holding up?
John Wick
I keep asking, "Why her?
Marcus
There's no rhyme or reason to this life. It's days like today scattered among the rest.
John Wick
Are you sure?
Marcus
Don't blame yourself.

What are you really doing here, Marcus?

Just checking up on an old friend. Goodbye, John.

The Consequences of Underestimating John Wick
Viggo Tarasov
It's not what you did, son, that angers me so. It's who you did it to.
Iosef Tarasov
Who? That fucking nobody?
Viggo Tarasov
That "fuckin nobody"... is John Wick. He was once an associate of ours. We called him…].

Iosef Tarasov
The Boogeyman"?
Viggo Tarasov
Well, John wasn't exactly "the Boogeyman". He was the one you sent to kill the fuckin Boogeyman.
Iosef Tarasov
…Oh.
Viggo Tarasov
John is a man of focus. Commitment. Sheer will. Something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar… with a pencil. With a fuckin pencil. Suddenly one day he asked to leave. It was over a woman, of course. So I made a deal with him. I gave him an impossible task. A job no one could have pulled off. The bodies he buried that day... laid the foundation of what we are now. And then, my son, a few days after his wife died… you steal his car, and kill his fuckin dog?
Iosef Tarasov
Father, I can make this right!
Viggo Tarasov
Oh? How do you plan that?
Iosef Tarasov
By finishing what I started.
Viggo Tarasov
What the… did he hear a fucking word I said?
[turns to his advisor, Avi]
Iosef Tarsov
Dad, I can do this! Please!
[in Russian]
Viggo Tarasov
Iosef. Iosef! Listen. John will come for you, and you will do nothing, because you can do nothing. So get the fuck out of my sight!

Ms. Perkins
You were always a pussy.

A Conversation on Fate and Circumstance
Viggo Tarasov
Hello, John. I heard about your wife. I'm sorry. My condolences. It, uh, seems to be fate, or happenstance, or just bad fucking luck caused our paths to cross again. John? Let us not resort to our baser instincts, and handle this like civilized men to move on—

Loss and Hope in John Wick's Journey
John Wick
Viggo.
Viggo Tarasov
Yeah?
John Wick
When Helen died, I lost everything. Until that dog arrived on my doorstep... A final gift from my wife... In that moment, I received some semblance of hope... an opportunity to grieve unalone... And your son... took that from me.
Viggo Tarasov
Oh, God.
John Wick
Stole that from me... Killed that from me! People keep asking if I'm back and I haven't really had an answer. But now, yeah, I'm thinkin I'm back. So you can either hand over your son! OR YOU CAN DIE SCREAMING ALONGSIDE HIM!!

Just visiting.
