Demon To Some...Angel To Others

Kirsty Cotton:Who are you?

Lead Cenobite:Explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others.

Lead Cenobite:The box. You opened it. We came.

Lead Cenobite:No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.

Lead Cenobite:We have such sights to show you!?

Kirsty Cotton:It's just a puzzle box!

Lead Cenobite:Oh, no. It is a means to summon us.

Lead Cenobite:We will tear your soul apart.

Lead Cenobite:This is not for your eyes.

Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)

Pinhead: Your suffering will be legendary, even in hell!

Pinhead: Ah, no more boxes, Kirsty?

Female Cenobite: No more teasing, Kirsty, it's time to play.

Pinhead: Time to play...

Kirsty Cotton: Wait!

Pinhead: No more deals child, it is your flesh we want to experience, not your skill at bargaining.

Kirsty Cotton: No deals, just information, just information!

Pinhead: Go on... but trick us again child, and your suffering will be legendary even in Hell!

Pinhead: [Kirsty hands Pinhead picture of Capt. Spencer] What's this?...

[looks at picture]

Pinhead: Someone else you think escaped us, like Frank?

Kirsty Cotton: He didn't escape, he's you!

Pinhead: [pauses] Nonsense, I...

Kirsty Cotton: It is you! You weren't always this way, you were human once. You were all human! Remember your fear, your confusion!

Female Cenobite: Enough!

Pinhead: [to Female] Wait!... I remember...

Pinhead: Ah, Kirsty. We thought we lost you.

Female Cenobite: So sweet of you to come back.

Pinhead: How can it send us back, child? We're already here... and so are you!

[Pinhead transforms the box into the Leviathan Configuration]

Kirsty Cotton: I didn't open the box!

Female Cenobite: "Didn't open the box." And what was it last time, "Didn't know what the box was?" And yet, we do keep finding each other, don't we?

Pinhead: Oh, Kirsty. So eager to play, so reluctant to admit it.

Female Cenobite: Perhaps you're teasing us. Are you teasing us?

Kirsty Cotton: I've come for my father!

[the Cenobites laugh at that]

Pinhead: But he is in his own Hell, child, and quite unreachable.

Kirsty Cotton: I don't believe you!

Pinhead: But it's true. He is in his own Hell, just as you are in yours.

Kirsty Cotton: And what about you?

Pinhead: We have no more surprises.

Female Cenobite: We've always been here.

Pinhead: But please, feel free, explore. We have eternity to know your flesh.

Pinhead: It is not hands that summon us. It is desire.

Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth (1992)

The Priest: You'll burn in hell for this!

Pinhead: Burn? Oh, such a limited imagination!

Pinhead: Unbearable, isn't it? The suffering of strangers, the agony of friends. There is a secret song at the center of the world, Joey, and its sound is like razors through flesh.

Joey: I don't believe you.

Pinhead: Oh come, you can hear its faint echo right now. I'm here to turn up the volume. To press the stinking face of humanity into the dark blood of its own secret heart.

Pinhead: Human dreams... such fertile ground for the seeds of torment. You're so ripe Joey, and it's harvest time.

Joey: [crying] But this isn't fair! You can't!

Pinhead: Save your tears. I'll reap your sorrow slowly. I have centuries to discover the things that make you whimper.

Joey: You bastard! You invaded my mind!

Pinhead: You think your nighttime world is closed to me? Your mind is so naked. A book that yearns to be read. A door that begs to be opened.

Pinhead: Just give me the box and I'll free you from the future.

Joey: Free yourself from the past.

Pinhead: [shouting] Don't debate with me, girl! Just come here and die while you still have the option of doing it quickly!

J.P. Monroe: Jesus Christ!

Pinhead: Not quite.

Pinhead: Down the dark decades of your pain, this will seem like a memory of Heaven.

Pinhead: This is my body, This is my blood, Happy are they who come to my sabbat.

Pinhead: I am offering you a place at my right hand - flesh, power, dominion.

Pinhead: [mocking the Crucifixion of Christ] I am the way!

John Merchant: For God's sake!

Pinhead: Do I look like someone who cares about what God thinks?

Pinhead: Temptation is illusion. But the time for trickery is past. In this game, we show ourselves as we really are.

Angelique: And what is that?

Pinhead: The beauty of suffering.

Angelique: You are no different from that beast who sucks the bones you throw to it!

Pinhead: [as he hooks into her flesh] And you, Princess? What are you?

Security Guard 1: Don't make us put some pain on you!

Pinhead: Pain? How dare you use that word?

Security Guard 2: He's got... pins in his head.

Pinhead: What you think of as pain is a shadow. Pain has a face. Allow me to show it to you. Gentlemen, I... Am... Pain

[last lines]

Dr. Paul Merchant: Welcome to Oblivion!

Pinhead: Amen.

[Parker is surveying the scrap of the robot used to open the Lament Configuration]

Parker: What the hell is this?

Pinhead: The remnants of a most unsatisfying victim. Still... you're here to change all that... aren't you?

Pinhead: Young... unformed... oh, what appetites I could teach him.

Bobbi Merchant: Just give him to me, please!

Pinhead: Aha ha, oh, you suffer beautifully. But I am here for business, not pleasure.

Bobbi Merchant: Just tell me what you want!

Pinhead: Oh, I want bait... live bait...

Pinhead: [to Angelique] A lesson, Princess: Work with me or for me...

Pinhead: Two minutes. Two centuries. It all ticks by so quickly. You are so very luck your ancestors, did you know that? I have the distinct sense of déjà vu. The same defiance, the same faithless hope in the light?

Dr. Paul Merchant: And what do you have faith in?

Pinhead: Nothing. I am SO exquisitely empty.

Pinhead: [to Paul while looking at the Earth] Glorious, is it not? The creatures who walk its surface, always looking to the light, never seeing the untold oceans of darkness beyond. There are more humans alive today than in all of its pitiful history. The Garden of Eden. A garden of flesh.

Hellraiser: Inferno (2000)

Pinhead: Welcome... to Hell.

Pinhead: It's all a puzzle, isn't it, Joseph? Like a game of chess, perhaps. The pieces move, apparently aimlessly, but always towards one single objective: to kill the king. But who is the king in this game, Joseph? That is the question you must ask yourself.

[being forced to question his morals]

Joseph: I don't understand.

Pinhead: Ah, the eternal refrain of humanity. Pleading ignorance, begging for mercy. "Please, help me. I don't understand."

Hellraiser: Hellseeker (2002) (V)

Pinhead: Welcome to the worst nightmare of all... reality!

Pinhead: All problems solved? It's not that easy.

[as he sticks Trevor in the back of the neck with a pin]

Pinhead: Which do you find more exhilarating, Trevor, pain or pleasure? Personally, I prefer pain.

Hellraiser: Deader (2005) (V)

Pinhead: You opened the box and your soul belongs to me.

Winter: You can't hurt me.

Pinhead: You're not the first to say that... and you won't be the last!

Pinhead: Dreams are fleeting. Only nightmares last forever!

Pinhead: Don't you think for a second you are not in danger!

Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)

Pinhead: You still don't understand, do you? There is no way out for you, Chelsea. Oh, what wonders we have to show you.

[the Host opens the Lament Configuration and faces Pinhead, Bound, and Chatterer]

Pinhead: Welcome. Welcome to Hell.

The Host: [chuckling] This is not happening.

Pinhead: Seeing is believing. I should have come for you a long time ago.

The Host: Hellworld. There's no Hellworld. It doesn't exist.

Pinhead: Your son was quite the prodigy. He opened the gateway to Hell. But you never believed yourself, did you?

Pinhead: How's that for a wake-up call?
