Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening

The following are quotes from the videogame Devil May Cry 3, the prequel to Devil May Cry

Prologue

Lady: (narrating) You've heard of it haven't you? The Legend of Sparda.When I was young my father would tell me stories about it. Long ago, in ancient times, a demon rebelled against his own kind for the sake of the human race. With his sword, he shut the portal to the demonic realm and sealed the evil entities off from our human world. But since he was a demon himself, his power was also trapped on the other side. I never believed it. I thought it was just a child's fairy tale. But I discovered that this so-called legend wasn't a myth at all. Sparda existed. How do I know?... I met the sons of Sparda-- Both of them. Though the same blood of their father flowed through their veins, the two battled each other fiercely like arch enemies. It seemed as if they derived some sort of twisted pleasure from this brotherly fighting. But in the end... only one was left standing.

Mission 1: A Crazy Party

(A phone rings on a wooden table. Dante appears from a back door, having just taken a shower, and kicks a knocked-over chair on the floor into an upright position and sits down in it with his legs propped up on the table. He answers the phone.)

Dante: Sorry, not open for business yet. (He hangs up.) I haven't even picked a name for this joint and I'm already getting calls.

(The scene cuts to the outside of his shop, showing a bald, creepy man, who then enters the shop.)

Dante: You a customer too? (The man says nothing, and Dante scoffs.) Well, if you want to use the bathroom, help yourself. The toilet's in the back.

(The man walks slowly through the shop towards Dante.)

Man: Is your name Dante? Son of Sparda?

Dante: Where did you hear that?

Man: From your brother. (He eyes the amulet hanging from Dante's neck.) He sent this invitation for you. Please accept it.

(The man taps the front of the table, sending it and the objects on it flying. Dante kicks off it into a backflip and lands in a crouch on the fallen table; he catches his pistol as it falls and whips it forward, aiming at where the man, who has vanished into thin air, had been standing. A tense moment passes before he relaxes and stands back up.)

Dante: Invitation huh?

(He catches his box of unfinished pizza as it, too, falls. He takes a slice and is about to take a bite, but several demons materialize and catch him in a surprise attack with their scythes. To their surprise, Dante is completely unfazed by their attack, and he strides confidently towards his jukebox, taking out several of the demons as they try to follow him.)

Dante: This party's getting crazy! Let's rock!

(He presses a button on the jukebox several times, but no music plays. He smashes a fist into it and instrumental rock begins playing as he stylishly takes out more demons and partially wrecks his office in the process.)

Dante: The end? Don't bet on it.

Mission 2: The Blood Link

Intro

(Dante kicks down the doors to his shop from the inside.)

Dante: Damn it! You guys totally wrecked my shop! And I haven't even named it yet! You're going to pay for that!

(He throws Rebellion into the air and stylishly throws on his red long coat. After that, he sneezes and the shop collapses.)

Dante: I hope you all have enough to cover all this!

(Dante fights several waves of demons, culminating in a fight with a Hell Vanguard, which he also defeats.)

Outtro

(A huge tower erupts from the ground several blocks away; a man wearing a blue longcoat and carrying a katana stands atop it as it rises.)

Dante: It's been nearly a year since we last met. Where does the time go?

(Dante looks up at the person on top of the tower, who is revealed to have white hair like Dante's, in a slicked-back style. The Hell Vanguard that Dante defeated earlier turns out to be still alive, and flees toward the tower. Dante aims a pistol at it as it leaps over the ruined buildings, but it escapes. He holsters the gun and begins walking toward the tower as well.)

Dante: No doubt you've got some fun planned for me. Right Vergil?

Mission 3: The Devils' Tower

Intro

(Vergil stands, waiting, atop the tower. Footsteps approach; they belong to the man that approached Dante in his shop earlier.)

Vergil: Arkham.

Arkham: Well? Doesn't it excite you? The Temen-ni-gru has revived. The Great one who once ruled this earth as the medium between the Human World and the Demon World. Isn't it a magnificent view? The greatest minds of their time, those who revered evil, constructed this glorious edifice. Now, after two milleniums [sic] of confinement, it can at last fulfill the purpose for which it was intended...

Vergil: (Visibly impatient; he interrupts Arkham.) That's none of my concern. Did he have it?

Arkham: Of course. He's taking good care of it.After all, it is the only memento left from the mother you both lost.

Vergil: But he has no idea of its true power.

(The Hell Vanguard that escaped Dante earlier reaches the top of the tower and approaches Vergil, begging for forgiveness for failing to kill Dante. Vergil offers it none; he turns away, then abruptly draws his katana and seemingly impales it in a single stroke. He resheathes his weapon, and the demon falls off the tower in several pieces as Vergil walks away. Arkham watches in morbid fascination.)

(The camera cuts to the base of the tower, where a woman on an idling motorcycle is gazing up at the Temen-ni-gru through a pair of binoculars.)

Woman: I found it!

(Several demons come up slowly behind her, hoping to sneak-attack her, but she revs the engine and flames jet out of the tailpipes. She takes off toward the tower, leaving behind the demons as they flail around, on fire.)

Before Cerberus battle

(Dante approaches the entryway of the tower; a giant, three-headed dog demon encased in ice blocks his path, and breaks free of the ice with a roar, sending a chunk of ice flying at Dante. He slices it in half with Rebellion.)

Cerberus: Leave now mortal! The likes of you are forbidden in this land! You who are powerless are not worthy to set foot here!

Dante: Wow, I've never seen a talking mutt before. You know, in a dog show, you'd definitely take first place.

Cerberus: You, a mere human, make a mockery of me?!

(Cerberus spits a beam of ice at Dante, who jumps over it. The beam strikes the entrance to the chamber, sealing it with ice.)

Dante: Easy, Fido. How about I take you out for a walk? Come on, puppy, let's go!

Cerberus: You'll regret this, you worm!

Dante: It's showtime! (He punches the air several times.) Come on!

After Cerberus battle

Cerberus: You are not human, are you?

Dante: Who knows? I'm not even sure myself.

Cerberus: Regardless, you have proved your strength. I acknowledge your ability. Take my soul and go forth! You have my blessing.

(Cerberus shatters and his soul flies into Dante's hand, turning into an ice nunchaku. Dante practices his moves.)

Dante: Too easy!

---

(The woman on the motorcycle crashes through the sealed ice door, nearly landing on Dante. He backflips out of the way and lands behind her.)

Dante: Are you going to the party? What's the hurry, Didn't you get an invitation?

(She replies by launching a rocket at Dante, which he surfs on briefly before it flies upwards and blows a hole in the ceiling. She revs her bike and charges at Dante, doing a wheelie at the last second and launching herself up through the ceiling.)

Dante: This just keeps getting better and better!

Mission 4

(Dante aims his guns at a door)

Jester: Yoo-Hoo, There's no need to use violence devil boy)

(Dante aims again, Jester scurries)

Jester: Wait wait wait better listen to what others say lad, this tower is very sturdy, you see? You're tricks will do no good, NO GOOD!

Dante: Zip it or I'll pierce that big nose

Jester: That would be a problem, just hear me out, you've got nothing to lose right? My name is Jester and I know a thing or two about this place. That thing there is a power generator for this entire sector! In order to open the door you need to apply a little something to it first, you know what that is kid or is that too difficult for you

(Dante pulls out his guns and starts shooting at Jester's feet, Jester dances and eventually it stops)

Jester: Actually, I prefer a sword to be my partner. May I have this dance, my lady

(Dante swings his sword at Jester, hitting the power generator, and the door opens)

Jester: Bingo! That is WHAT the SOMETHING is. Remember that, kid! Write it down on your hand if you don't trust your head!

Dante: I see, thanks! You still piss me off, though.

Mission 5

Jester: Thanks for destroying the lock for me, devil boy! And welcome to Hell! Please accept my gift. Don't be humble, just take it! After all, we're buddies, aren't we?! Hahahahaha!!

(In front of Dante, blood flows down a fountain adorned by stone birds. The blood awakens the birds and they become Blood Goyle demons that attack Dante, who easily fends them off.)

Dante: Well, isn't that special? To be honest, I was expecting something a little better than this.

(As Dante walks off, an apparently-defeated Blood Goyle that Dante had knocked into a wall revives, and swoops at the camera.)

---

Rudra: Look brother! It's been ages, but we finally have company!

Agni: I see that!

Rudra: We must entertain our guest!

Agni: You're right! We have to be gracious hosts!

Rudra: What should we do?

Agni: How do I know? We need to come up with something!

Dante: (sigh)

Rudra: Brother, our guest is sighing.

Agni: SIGH? What is SIGH?

Rudra: Well a SIGH is when...

Dante: Enough already! How long are you two gonna keep carrying on like this? In case you didn't get the hint, I'll spell it out. Your GUEST wants to go through. Got it!

Rudra: Our job here is to guard this door!

Agni: That's right! We cannot let you pass!

---

Agni: Wait!

Rudra: Yes, wait!

Agni: We have been waiting for a long time!

Rudra: Yes, a very long time!

Agni: For someone stronger than us.

Rudra: Someone who can control us.

Agni: My name is Agni!

Rudra: And my name is Rudra! You shall take us with you!

Agni and Rudra: We could be a great help to you!

Dante: Okay, but

on one condition.

Rudra: What is it?

Agni: Name it.

Dante: No talking.

Agni: Fair enough.

Rudra: As you wish.

(Dante shows off his moves with Agni & Rudra.)

Rudra: Impressive... (Dante scowls and smacks the two swords' heads together.)

Dante: No Talking!

(Agni and Rudra remain silent.)

Dante: Good.

Mission 7

Vergil: You showed up.

Dante: You sure know how to throw a party! No food, no drinks, and the only babe just left.

Vergil: My sincerest apology brother. I was so eager to see you, I couldn't concentrate on preparations for the bash.

Dante: Whatever, at any rate, it's been a whole year since we last met. How about a kiss from your little brother? Or better yet how about a kiss from THIS!

(Points Ivory towards Vergil.)

Dante: So, this is what they call a heartwarming family reunion, eh?

Vergil: You got that right...

(Readies Yamato.)

---

Vergil: Why do you refuse to gain power? The power of our father, Sparda.

Dante: Father? I don't have a father. I just don't like you, that's all.

(The two started to deadlock against each other on swords, and eventually Rebellion is clashed away -- Vergil stabbed Yamato relentlessly into Dante's chest.)

Vergil: Foolishness, Dante, foolishness. Might controls everything, and without strength, you cannot protect anything. Let alone yourself.

Arkham: Do you finally have it?

Vergil: Yes. Now the spell Sparda cast will be broken.

Dante: eerrrAAAARRRRGGGGHHH! (throws Vergil aside)

Vergil: I see a devil inside you has awakened as well.

Arkham: Wait! We should leave. For the moment, we have all that we need.

===Mission 8=== Ante £

Mission 9

Dante: So this is the next stage.

Lady: Wait! (point to Dante's back)

Dante: If you're asking for a date, forget it! (put away the lady's gun), cause I make a point to no go out with women who shoot me straight at the head.

Lady: Date a demon? I'm not that desperate, besides I don't care for guys who stink like blood.

Dante: You're right (Drawing Ivory)

(They begin to shoot all the demons there)

Dante: So tell me, What's your name?

Lady: I don't have a name!

Dante: Really? Then what should I call you?

Lady: I don't care. Whatever you want.

Dante: Whatever, Lady. (leap to the castle entrance) I'll leave this to you. Cuz' I don't wanna miss the party. (enters castle)

Lady: Who counted on you anyway? (Continues shooting against the demons)

---

Nevan: Hmmm! Welcome, sir! Is this your first time here?

Dante: Yeah... it is. You'll be nice to me, won't you?

Nevan: Of course I will! I'll treat you so nicely, You'll never want to leave!

Dante: (drawing Rebellion) Now, that's what I'm talking about!

Nevan: (seductive laugh) Well then, come on, sugar.

---

(after the battle)

Nevan: Aaangh..! (falls into Dante's arms) My, you're SWEET!

(she leans up to bite him, he shoots her in the stomach)

Dante You'd think so, wouldn't you?

Nevan: (sighs) All right, I'll help you. (stroking and caressing Dante's chin) Your father was a handsome devil... but you're no slouch yourself.

Mission 10

Arkham: Soon we will reach the lair of judgement. Temen-ni-gru will finally regain its full function and lead us into the Demon World. The world where Sparda's power has been sealed. And the one who will lift the incantation is you, his own son. It must be fate.

(The door get open and Arkham looks back, but Vergil realizes)

Vergil: Does that woman really bother you?

Arkham: What are you talking about?

Vergil: Why didn't you kill her?, perhaps, because she's your daughter? Did some pesky fatherly love get in your way?

Arkham: That is none of your...

(Vergil stabs him)

Vergil: To further your study of the black arts, you sacrificed your loving wife, to become a devil as well. Knowing this I thought you'd be more useful to me, but I was wrong. No wonder your attainment of power is incomplete.

Arkham: What about you? You're an incomplete being as well. Both demon and human blood mingle in your veins.

Vergil: Shut up. (Vergil takes out his sword and sheats it slowly. He finishes sheathing his weapon, and Arkham fell to the floor) Now that the final door is open, I have no use for you.

(Dante walks towards Arkham lying on the floor and dodges a bullet that was shot by Lady)

Dante: Well that was quick.

Lady That man... did you kill him ?

Dante So what if I did ?

(Dante fights with Lady and says to her..)

Dante Ooh, I love a fast woman.

Lady Shut up!

Lady He was obsessed with becoming the Devil. So much he killed his own wife. For that he butchered innocent people too. He's the most vile kind of creature. To top it off, that filthy scum is my father.

Dante Aah...Well, we have something in common. I have a dysfunctional family too.

Lady And what would you know about family?! You're a demon! This is my father...my family! This was all supposed to be end by my hand!

Dante Aren't ya gonna shoot ? Häh... Well that's a switch.

Lady Just go. I don't care anymore.

(Dante leaves Lady and speaks quietly to himself)

Dante Family, huh?

Mission 11

(Beowulf breaks through the room's roof)

Beowulf: SPARDA!

Dante: Aw, you poor thing. Didn't your mother teach you how to use a door?

---

Beowulf: That odor, I know it.

Dante: Huh? Give me a break. I'll tell you what, I'll try and wear some cologne next time, okay?

Beowulf: It's the stench of betrayal. The stench of the accursed Sparda! I shall annihilate every last blood relation of Sparda!

Dante: Ho-ho-ho, a son cleaning up his dad's mess. Where have I heard this story before?

---

Beowulf: The odious one whose heart pumps the blood of Sparda! Though my sight is gone, I remember your scent. I shall hunt you down for eternity if I must, until I rid this earth of your foul smell!!

Dante: Why do I have to take the heat for my father? Come on man, cut me some slack.

Mission 12

Beowulf: (to Vergil) I found you, seed of Sparda. I told you I remembered your rancid scent. No matter where you run to, you can never hide from me...

(Beowulf lunges, Vergil jumps over his head, his sword flashing)

Beowulf: Y-you... you are not the one I faced before! But this smell... there are two of them! That excrement Sparda had two sons-! (his head falls into four pieces when Vergil sheathes Yamato)

Mission 13

• Vergil's cutscene*
• Mission starts*
• Faces Vergil*

Vergil: Why isn't this working? Is there something missing? Must more blood be shed?

Dante: You seem to be in bad mood.

Vergil: Dante...

Dante: So... my mother's amulet is the key that unlocks the door to the demon world. Good plan, pop.

Vergil: Just the opposite actually. Originally it was the key to the demon world but was given to human as a gift.

Dante: It doesn't matter to me one way or the other. More importantly, I've come all this way. I'm sure you have time for one more game... right?

Vergil: Why not? Afterall we share the same blood... I'll just use more of yours to undo daddy's little spell.

Dante: So, you want a piece of me literally. Okay bro, come and get it. If you can.

• Fight ends*

Dante: Sorry but this is no place for a little girl. So beat it.

Lady: Shut up!

         You forced him into this!

Vergil: Is that what you think? Foolish girl.

Jester: Bravo! Bravo!

         I never dreamed that things would go so smoothly.
         Well done everyone, well done!

Dante: You!

Jester: Don't be a bad girl, Mary. Or you can expect a spanking from

         daddy later.
         Jester's gonna spank your butt. Spank you on the butt.

Vergil: Insane buffoon! I don't know where you came from but you don't belong

         here. Now leave!

Jester: Zowie, that was close. But you've taken quite a trouncing today,

         haven't you Vergil? You could have chopped me into confetti by now if 
         you're in your tip-top condition.

Vergil: Damn you!

Jester: You have lost... Arkham: Because you've underestimated humans.

Lady: What's going on?

Arkham: Good girl. Pure and Innocent... just like your mother.

Lady: You bastard!

Jester: It's time for your spanking, my dear!

         You want to know why the spell didn't break, hmm Vergil?
         You have two amulets, and Sparda's blood. You've got everything you 
         needed to unleash the evil...

Dante: I told you before I don't like anybody with a bigger mouth than mine.

Jester: You are wounded and weak, even I can do... THIS to you!

Arkham: Two amulets... a set of Sparda's blood. Now I need one more key. He

         sacrificed two things to suppress the tremendous force of this tower:
         His own Devil's blood, and a mortal priestess. 
         I needed you, in whose body flows the same blood as the sacrificed 
         woman. His spell cannot be undone without your blood!

Jester: It is quite a ride, you know.

         If any of you had died, my little plan would have gone to waste!
         So my job is to let you battle each other and weaken you,
         but at the same time I need to guide you here to make sure you are
         kepy alive. I've gone so far as dressing like a complete idiot!
         
         It's time for bed, Mary. You can go to visit your dear mother...

Lady: Try me!

Vergil: It is time for the clown to bow out, Arkham.

Dante: Dude, the show's over!

Arkham: Impressive. I expected nothing less fomr the devil's descendents.

         But aren't you forgetting something, Vergil? The spell is broken.
         What do you think will happen next?

         Let's welcome chaos.

         Just sit and wait... Wait for the birth of a new god!
         I shall take over the power of Sparda!

Mission 14

Dante:Are you gonna go?

Lady:Yes. I'm going to finish him off.

Dante:Well you might as well forget it. 'Cause you're no match for him.

Lady:Regardless I must go. I had a chance to stop him before but I couldn't. I'm responsible for all this mess.

Dante:Responsible? Does it bother you that much?

Lady:He's my father. Besides, who else can undo what he's done? A demon like you, wouldn't understand.

Dante:Father and family huh? Well I'll go too. But you better worry if you don't want me to take all the credit.

Mission 15

Arkham: He plucks the threads that make us dance, finger and toe. We surrender, in joy, to the lowest of the foul and rank. We submerge through darkness, rancid filth. Hour by hour we move downward, ever closer to hell. In a slow, steady, gait. Now, let the world resonate. Sloth, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, Lust, Wrath, and Pride. A bell of chaos that tolls human desires. After two thousand long years, the once-sealed gate to the demonic world will open. Destruction! Carnage and Despair! Let your instincts drive you. Entrap this world in fear! As its very name, Temen-Ni-Gru, strikes terror into the hearts of mankind. And I, will become the ultimate ruler of this wasteland, engulfed with pandemonium. The demonic power that Sparda once imprisoned... will be mine!

Mission 16

(Dante walks in to the Demon library and sees that Lady is there taking a break)

Dante: What's wrong, you tired? Then stand back, I'll take care of this.

(Dante is stopped by "Lady" when she starts to talk at him)

Lady: No, YOU stand back. (she points her gun at Dante, and he took it and Lady ends up shooting him in his stomach)

Dante: I've told you you can't do it, don't you get it? This is not a human's job! (Dante takes the gun of Lady)

Lady: You are the one who doesn't get it! It's not something you can reason with. This has nothing to do with me being a human or you being a demon! I'm driven by my inability to forgive him! My soul is screaming, demanding me to kill him! It's enough motivation to keep me going. Besides, this is my family matter. You should stay out (She takes her Roocket Launcher and starts to walk, but gets stopped by Dante when he starts to talking to her)

Dante: Okay Lady, I get the picture,, but I can't just sit back and watch either. I'm pretty pissed off too, you know. (kicks her gun across the floor to her and takes out Ebony & Ivory) Now get out of my way or there will be some consequences.

Lady: Fair enough. I didn't plan to let any demons live anyway, not even one.

---

(Lady try to shoot Dante's body but miss every shoot, then Dante takes her guns and try to be the Alpha Male with... a Passive woman?)

Dante: I'll take care of him. (moves closer as if to kiss her, but sighs in amusement and backs off on seeing her reaction)

Lady: Why do you care so much?

Dante: This whole business started with my father sealing the entrance between the two worlds. And now, my brother is trying to break the spell and turn this place into demonville. This is my family matter too. Quite frankly, at first, I didn't give a damn. But because of you, I know what's important now. I know what I need to do. (prepares to leave)

Lady: Wait...

Dante: Trust me! I promise, I'll make things right for you. It's what my soul is telling me to do.

Lady: Use this. (hands him Kalina Ann)

Dante: How much is it gonna cost me?

Lady: You can give me your name.

Dante: Dante.

Lady: (As Dante starts to walk away) Dante... Please, free my father.

Dante: I will, Lady.

Mission 17

Dante:Are you gonna go?

Lady: Yes. I'm going to finish him off.

Dante:Well you might as well forget it. 'Cause you're no match for him.

Lady:Regardless I must go. I had a chance to stop him before but I couldn't. I'm responsible for all this mess.

Dante:Responsible? Does it bother you that much?

Lady:He's my father. Besides, who else can undo what he's done? A demon like you, wouldn't understand.

Dante:Father and family huh? Well I'll go too. But you better worry if you don't want me to take all the credit.

Mission 18

Dante: Well then, let's wrap up this crazy party, shall we? Gotta clean up the mess father left behind.

Mission 19

Arkham: Welcome! What do you think after looking at your father's image?

Dante: It's like staring into a backed-up toilet! Why do you always stick your nose in other families' business. Come on, dude, don't you have any hobbies?

(Arkham and Dante start laughing)

---

Arkham: You can still talk big after seeing THIS? I feel it... the power... I feel the devil's power overflowing in my body, the power of SPARDA!

Dante: Dude, my father wasn't so hideous. (Admiring his own reflection in his sword's blade) Can't you tell by looking at me? Anyway, that shape suits you better. Let us begin the main event!

---

Arkham: Ha-ha-ha, no matter how strong you are, you are nothing but a half-breed.

---

Arkham: What's this!? Damn you!

Vergil: I have come to retrieve my power... You can't handle it.

Dante: Look at you, making a big dramatic entrance and stealing my spotlight!

Vergil: Well... you don't possibly believe that he deserves to be our main event, now do you?

Dante: Now that you mention it, you're right.

Arkham: Do you truly believe that you can defeat me? Defeat the power of your father, the great Sparda?!

Vergil: You should come to realize you cannot control the power of Sparda...

Dante: You're wasting your time, buddy! I think he needs to learn the hard way.

---

Vergil: (holding Dante's Ebony gun) I'll try it your way for once.

Dante: Remember what we used to say?

Arkham: DON'T DO IT!

V&D: JACKPOT!

---

Arkham: I have the true power of Sparda!

Vergil: Not very classy for someone's dying words.

Mission 20

Arkham: Ugh... how could I...? I shall become a God! No one here can stop me!

(Lady appears)

Lady: What a surprise... here I was, looking for you, and lo and behold, you come to me.

Arkham: Mary....

Lady: Don't ever call me that again. My mother was the only one who could say my name.

Arkham: Mary... please... Wait, do you really want to shoot me? Can you shoot me? Your own father?

(Silence)

Arkham: What have I done wrong!? Even the heroic Sparda sacrificed a woman so that he could become a legend! I wished to be a GOD! And I sacrificed one miserable human being for that reason, that is all... Is that really so awful? I have some unfinished business to take care of... Help me, Mary.

Lady: Mary died a long time ago. My name is Lady. Goodbye, father.

Arkham: NO-!

(blam blam blam blam)

Lady: (laughs, then cries) Here I thought I wasn't gonna cry...

---

Vergil: Give that to me.

Dante: No way, you got your own.

Vergil: Well I want yours too.

Dante: What are you gonna do with all that power, huh? No matter how hard you try, you're never gonna be like father!

Vergil: You're wasting time!

Dante: We are the sons of Sparda, and within each of us flows his blood, but more importantly, his SOUL! And now, my soul is saying that it wants to stop you!

Vergil: (evil laugh) Unfortunately, our souls are at odds, brother. I need more power!

Dante: And we're supposed to be twins...

Vergil: Twins, right...

---

Vergil: Am I... being defeated?

Dante: Is that all you got? Come on! Get up! You can do better than that.

Vergil: The portal to the human world is closing, Dante, because the amulets have been separated.

Dante: Lets finish this, Vergil. I have to stop you, even if it means killing you.

(They charge at each other with their swords for the final showdown, but Dante wins.)

---

Vergil: No one can have this, Dante... it's mine, it belongs to a son of Sparda. Leave me and go, if you don't want to be trapped into the demon world... I'm staying. This place was our father's home.

---

Lady: Are you crying?

Dante: It's only the rain.

Lady: But the rain already stopped.

Dante: Devils never cry.

Lady: I see. Maybe somewhere out there even a devil may cry when he loses a loved one. Don't you think?

Dante: Maybe.

Lady: By the way... (Lady shoots a demon behind Dante's back) Looks like we're gonna be busy for a while.

Dante: Well, bring it on! I love this! This is what I live for! (swings Ebony & Ivory) I'm absolutely crazy about it!!

Epilogue

Lady: (narrating) What happened next? Nothing, really. We took care about all remaining devils and that was it. I still have a job to do that's far from done, which is to eliminate every last demon. I need ensure that monsters like my father never come about again. And he promised to help me hunt down the demons, even if he's part one himself. But now I realize that there are humans as evil as any devil as well as kind and compassionate demons in this universe. At least I've found one so-called "devil" who is able to shed tears for those he cares about. That's enough for me to believe in him.

Dante: (kicks his chair to normal position and sits on it, crossing his legs on the desk) Now I can start my business.

Lady: Oh, speaking of a kind devil, he finally decided on the name for his shop. It took him quite a while to pick one. Wanna know the name?

L&D: "Devil May Cry."

Vergil: It would be fun to fight with the Prince of Darkness. If my father did it, I should be able to do it too!
