DC Showcase: The Spectre (2010)

Gary Cole: Jim Corrigan, The Spectre

Quotes 

• The Spectre : The guilty must be punished for their crimes.

• [last lines] 

  Jim Corrigan : [narrates]  Sometimes, there isn't a hell of a lot of satisfaction in my job. It's hard watching talented, beautiful people throw their lives away for nothing. But this is a town where fame and fortune too easily bring out the worst in people. When that happens, I'm here to avenge. That's my secret. I am The Spectre.

• Jim Corrigan : [narrates]  When most people think of L.A., they think of the bright lights and glamor of Hollywood. But those lights cast dark shadows. Shadows that hide even darker secrets. My name is Corrigan. I'm a cop, and I have a few secrets of my own.

• Foster Brenner : Didn't expect to see me again, did you Flynn?

  Drew Flynn : You're dead... We killed...

  Foster Brenner : Killed me? All because you got cut out of a job? That was worth my life?

  [Foster Brenner transforms into The Spectre] 

  Drew Flynn : Who are you?

  The Spectre : I am vengeance. I am the Spectre.

  Drew Flynn : This is impossible!

  The Spectre : In the land beyond the living, all things are possible.

• Police Captain : Corrigan! Get your ass in here! Just what do you think you're doing, Corrigan?

  Jim Corrigan : Working a case, captain. You know, my job.

  Police Captain : The Brenner murder isn't your case just because you had a thing with his daughter! It's Det. Brice's! How about you look into whoever's knocking off our suspects!

  Jim Corrigan : Come again?

  Police Captain : One of Hollywood's top special effects guys was found squashed like a friggin' bug this morning! And he was one Brice's suspect list!

  Jim Corrigan : I'll look into it. And maybe you should tell Brice to work faster.

• Aimee Brenner : I could have given you the world.

  Jim Corrigan : I left this world a long time ago.

  [Aime shoots at Jim, but the bullets pass through him] 

  Jim Corrigan : You can't kill a dead man.
