Movie Quotes with Michael Nyqvist
Quote from John Wick:
Iosef Tarasov: "Who?... That fucking nobody?"
Viggo Tarasov: "That fucking nobody is John Wick! He once was an associate of ours. They call him Baba-Yaga. Well John wasn't exactly the Boogeyman, he was the one you send to kill the fucking Boogeyman. John is a man of focus, commitment and sheer will. I once saw him kill three men in a bar, with a pencil. With a fucking... PENCIL! Suddenly one day he asked to leave, 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 lay 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 fucking dog. John will come for you and you will do nothing because you can't do nothing."
