The Crow Monologues

A man brutally murdered comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée's murder.

People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.

A building gets torched, all that is left is ashes. I used to think that was true about everything, families, friends, feelings. But now I know, that sometimes if love proves real, two people who are meant to be together, nothing can keep them apart.

If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.

Dad gave me this. Fifth birthday. He said, "Childhood's over the moment you know you're gonna die."

Quick impression for you: Caw! Caw! Bang! Fuck, I'm dead!

Ya know, my daddy used to say every man's got a devil. And you can't rest 'til you find him. What happened back there with you and your girlfriend - I cleared that building. Hell, nothin' in this town happens without my say-so. So I'm sorry if I spoiled your wedding plans there, friend. But, if it's any consolation to you, you have put a smile on my face.

For a ghost you bleed just fine.

So you're him, huh? The Avenger. The Killer of Killers. Nice outfit. I'm not sure about the face, though.

No, I want you to set a fire so goddamn big, the gods'll notice us again, that's what I'm sayin'. I want all of you boys to be able to look me straight in the eye one more time and say: ARE WE HAVING FUN OR WHAT? Hey, you! What's your name? Skank? You don't feel that?

"I feel like a little worm on a big fucking hook." Well, boy, your mama must be damn proud of you!
