Conversations

Hero	Complete?	Audio
Abrams	No	Venator: You should have handed over the Tome the moment it came into your possession. Abrams: Venator: Doesn't belong to you either.
		Venator: You keep some questionable friends. Abrams: Venator: I also keep questionable friends.
		Abrams: Venator: I can't tell if you're happy or disappointed. Abrams: Venator: Hate my methods all you want-I saved lives. Abrams: Venator: No, there was a way to risk more, and God help us all if we failed. I don't blame you for not having the stomach to do what needed to be done, but sleep easy knowing that what happening in that brownstone is my burden alone, not yours. Abrams: Venator: You're a good man, detective. If this is my last battle, I'm happy to have it be with you.
Apollo	Yes	Venator: You're the one destined for greatness, right? Apollo: No, I'm great now. I'm just waiting for the world to catch up with the times so I can show it.
		Venator: You don't trust me. Apollo: Men like you call people like me demons, so no. I don't trust you. Venator: Young man, I don't care about the circumstances of your birth, I care about who you are. I don't give a damn if you look like a monster… but if you act like one, I will put you down. Apollo: Yep, I definitely don't trust you.
	No	Apollo: Follow my lead, and we'll get through this. Venator: [Chuckles] Apollo: Is something funny?! Venator: Apollo: I know what I'm talking about. Venator: No, you think you do. And there's a world of difference between experience and unearned arrogance.
Bebop	No	Bebop: Venator: That's good. It means your life hasn't been in peril.
		Bebop: Venator: M-m, of course. Lord, please guide Bebop's hand, may his aim be true, and his resolve unshaken by the screams of his enemies, for he fights not for himself but for the life of a good woman. Amen. Bebop: Venator: You're supposed to say "amen".
		Bebop: Venator: Your help is appreciated, Bebop.
Calico	No	Calico: Venator: I'm not lookin' to chit-chat with a murderer. Calico: Venator: Don't try to equivocate with me, Calico. Calico: Venator: Wrong. I have no illusions that my hands are clean, but at least when innocent people die by my hand, it's not because I'm lookin' to make a dollar. Calico: Venator: Don't pretend that you'd bother to check.
		Calico: Venator: Not long enough. Calico: Venator: That was before you became a monster.
		Venator: Seeing you dote on that cat is nauseating. Calico: Venator: You and I both know that for the right price you'd slit her throat.
Celeste	Yes	Venator: You look… delicate. Celeste: "Delicate"? Venator: I'm trying to be kind. Celeste: You think I can't fight? Venator: We're about be shot at and you're dressed like you just got off a shift at the circus. So yes. I have concerns. Celeste: It's the sideshow, but close enough. Venator: God help me...
		Venator: You look nervous, child. Celeste: You've seen what you look like, right? Venator: Do you always make judgements on appearances? Celeste: I mean, you're either gonna start screamin' Latin and shootin' people, or you're gonna do a burlesque act. And somethin' tells me that cassock ain't tear-away.
		Celeste: Bet you have some stories. Venator: You have no idea. Celeste: I'd love to hear 'em sometime. Venator: Lord willing you'll survive and get to hear them.
Drifter	No	Venator: After the ritual's complete, I'm going to drive a stake in your heart. Drifter: Venator: You've never fought a man like me before.
		Drifter: Venator: Enjoy your last day of wanton slaughter, Drifter. Tomorrow your wretched life will come to an end.
		Drifter: Venator: I'm not interested in your musings, vampire. Drifter: Venator: Equally pointless. Drifter: Venator: The feeling's mutual.
Dynamo	No	Dynamo: Venator: Ah. Father Julian? Dynamo: Venator: Possessed, currently. But you know Julian!
		Dynamo: Venator: You need to have a class to explain to people that making a deal with the Devil is a bad idea? Dynamo: Venator: Higher education has failed.
		Venator: Stay close to me, professor, I'll keep you safe. Dynamo:
Graves	Yes	Venator: You're in over your head, child. Graves: I get that a lot. Venator: Give me the lich hand. Graves: Not happening. Venator: You will regret your choice. Graves: Believe me, father, I already regret meeting you.
		Graves: What kind of priest carries a gun? Venator: One that's about to go to war. What kind of child traffics with the dead? Graves: One that- ugh, I don't do purple prose. I do. I traffic with the dead. If you have a problem with that, you shouldn't be here. Venator: No problem at all, lass.
		Venator: The lich is using you. Graves: You don't know her. Venator: They're all the same. Graves: Oh my God, someone religious is being closed minded, I wish I wore pearls so I could clutch them. Venator: It's a real shame that you're not going to live long enough to learn the wisdom that comes with age. Graves: Don’t threaten me. Venator: Threaten ya? I'm trying to save your life. Graves: Thanks for your concern. I can take things from here.
Grey Talon	No	Venator: Heard you left the Baxter Society. Grey Talon: Venator: Then why are you here? Grey Talon: Venator: You're staring into the abyss, Wesley. We both know where that leads.
		Grey Talon: Venator: Good. Busy? Grey Talon: Venator: The last year was hard but we've been blessed as of late. Grey Talon: Venator: Thank you.
		Venator: Your choice in protégé was... interesting. Grey Talon: Venator: He should be dead. Grey Talon: Venator: If he strays from the path, you won't be able to protect him from us.
Haze	Yes	Haze: I think I work with a friend of yours. Venator: Marlowe's been spinnin' stories? Haze: One or two. Venator: Tell the bastard I said hi. Haze: Will do.
		Venator: You ever work with a Venator before? Haze: No. Venator: Well, just to set expectations, we can be… a bit exhuberant in our methods. Haze: I appreciate the importance of being thorough. Venator: Then we should have no problems.
		Venator: Today the wicked will suffer at our hands. Haze: Indeed they shall.
Holliday	Yes	Venator: What happened in Macomb wasn't your fault, child. Holliday: You weren't there. Venator: No... but I've failed before. You can't let it consume you. Holliday: I can't not care. Venator: I didn't say don't care. Pain and anger are fires that burn in all of us, but it needs to be tended lest it destroys you. Holliday: Yeah? And how do you tend it? Venator: You're about to find out.
		Venator: Harden your heart, sheriff… you can't let your sense of law and order get in the way of what needs to be done. Holliday: Don't worry, Father… the law is the farthest thing from driving me.
		Holliday: Thanks for praying with me earlier. Venator: I hope it... brought you some peace. Holliday: It didn't... but it was nice that you tried! Venator: Good luck, Holliday. Holliday: You too, Father.
Infernus	Yes	Infernus: I'd hate to see what kind of homilies you're dropping on Sundays. Venator: I don't serve at a parish. Infernus: Can't imagine why.
		Venator: You look nervous. Infernus: I'm next to a crazy preacher with a gun. Why wouldn't I be? Venator: Do you always oversimply things? Infernus: What nuance am I missin' here?! Venator: I have two guns. Infernus: Real funny, Father.
		Venator: You're haunted. Infernus: Ain't you heard? The whole city's haunted. Venator: You know what I mean. Infernus: ...I really thought I buried this part of me, y'know. Venator: A lot of people try to bury the past. Problem with that is whenever someone comes to go dig it up, they make a big mess. Infernus: Got any advice? Venator: Yeah. Win. Otherwise you're torturing yourself for 2nd place, and that's not worth it.
Lady Geist	No	Lady Geist: Venator: And you look the same. Lady Geist: Venator: You certainly knew who to bribe. Lady Geist: Venator: I'm not.
		Venator: When this is over, I'm cutting off your arm. Lady Geist: Venator: You can't fight evil with evil.
		Venator: Why do you look so nervous? Lady Geist: Venator: Jeanne... Venators only hunt the wicked. What could you possibly have done to be worried about someone like me? Lady Geist: ... Venator: Your silence speak volumes.
Rem	Yes	Venator: You lost, little one? Rem: Mhmm. Venator: Don't worry. I'll shepherd you home.
		Rem: I thought priests were supposed to be nice. Venator: Who said I wasn't? Rem: I'm pretty sure you're about to kill people. Venator: Some people need to die. Rem: Are you sure you're a priest? Venator: I don't expect you to understand the nuance of my world. Rem: Nuance sounds like a big word. Venator: Don't worry about it. Just know I'll protect you.
		Rem: Imma follow you around. Venator: Please don't. Rem: You say that now, but you'll like me.
Seven	Yes	Seven: Did your masters at The Vatican send you? [Gasps], or are you thinking for yourself for a change? Venator: The fact that there's not a stake through your heart should be answer enough. Seven: Orders it is. Venator: Smart lad.
		Venator: You killed a friend of mine. Seven: [Laughter] oh, please! You're still willing to work with me? I killed a work acquaintance at best.
		Seven: Aren't you planning on offering me a benediction? Venator: No. Seven: Thought you were in the business of saving souls? Venator: You'd have to have one first.
Shiv	No	Venator: Hello, Shiv. Shiv: Venator: I'm not sure. Shiv: Venator: Maybe.
		Venator: I don't know what Wesley saw in you. Shiv: Venator: From what I heard, it's more like three-quarters. Shiv: Venator: There a problem with that?
		Venator: How much longer do you think you can keep the charade up? Shiv: Venator: A month? A year? Shiv: Venator: Heh. Okay...
Silver	Yes	Silver: You're not gonna stab me in the back, are ya? Venator: No. Silver: Let me guess... "I'm gonna stab you in the front"? Venator: I'm not stabbing you period. You're a werewolf. I'm going to shoot you with silver bullets. Silver: You're my kinda asshole, Padre.
		Silver: Got a problem working with me? Venator: The Venators are a results-centric order. Silver: Bet that covers all manner of sins. Venator: You have no idea.
		Silver: Got any whiskey on ya? Venator: I was going to ask you the same thing! Silver: Damn. Wanna get a round after the ritual if we don't wind up dead? Venator: Why not.
Yamato	Yes	Yamato: You are the Vatican's killer, yes? Venator: Of sorts. Yamato: Good. Better you than someone with morals.
		Venator: How many heads have you taken with that sword? Yamato: I'm not psychotic enough to keep track, or weak enough to remember. Venator: Good answer.
		Venator: Harden your heart, Yamato. We have work to do. Yamato: Don't worry Venator. I've never been plagued with a soft heart.
