- What if I told you that God and the devil made a wager, a kind of standing bet for the souls of all mankind?
- I'd tell you to stay on your meds.
- Humor me. No direct contact with humans. That would be the rule. Just influence. See who would win.
- Okay, I'm humoring you. Why?
- Who knows. Maybe just for the fun of it. No telling.
- Oh, so it's fun? It's fun when a man beats his wife to death? It's fun when a mother drowns her own baby? And you think the devil is responsible? People are evil, Mr. Constantine. People.
- You're right. We're born capable of terrible things, but then sometimes something else comes along and gives us just the right nudge.
- I don't believe in the devil.
- You should. He believes in you.
