  Quan Chi : Do you think my hand that weak, Bi-Han?

• Liu Kang : The knowledge you've gained I must now take away.

  Quan Chi : You won't punish me as you did Shujinko.

• Quan Chi : Whatever it takes.

• Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 1]  Go back to the hell you came from.

  Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 2]  I'd much rather conquer yours.

• Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 1]  Why shouldn't we be allies?

  Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 2]  Because I know your heart like I know mine.

• Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 1]  As doppelgangers go, you are adequate.

  Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 2]  Doppelganger? I am the original!

• Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 1]  Is there more than one amulet of Shinnok?

  Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 2]  If there is, it will also be mine.

• Quan Chi : Think of the power the Netherrealm can offer you.

  General Shao : Someone else can guide me to it.

• Liu Kang : You and Shang Tsung must not conspire again.

  Quan Chi : Why in the realms would I promise that?

• Johnny Cage : Oo! Oo! Can we wand duel? I'd love to try that!

  Quan Chi : I am a sorcerer, not a wizard, Cage.

• Liu Kang : I should have done more to keep you from evil.

  Quan Chi : I, for one, am glad you didn't.

• Quan Chi : Damashi's true identity shocked me.

  Shang Tsung : It shocked us all, Quan Chi.

• Quan Chi : Preying on your desperation was far too easy.

  Sindel : That you did proves how vile you are.

• Li Mei : There will be no escape from Lei Chin this time.

  Quan Chi : That hellhole won't again imprison me.

• Quan Chi : The Sisterhood of Shadow will protect us both.

  Shang Tsung : I prefer the company of my own minions.

  Quan Chi : I would, and I have.

• Kung Lao : We beat you once, we will beat you again.

  Quan Chi : Kung Lao. So certain in your confidence.

• Liu Kang : How did you acquire Shinnok's Amulet?

  Quan Chi : [*laughter*]  Wouldn't you like to know?

• Mileena : I plan to kill you in a most heinous way

  Quan Chi : Best of luck to you, Empress.

• Quan Chi : You disavow me now, but you'll be back.

  Rain : By Argus, that will not happen.

• Quan Chi : It seems that the General has sworn us off.

  Shang Tsung : It is his loss, not ours.

• Quan Chi : Perhaps we set our sights too low.

  Shang Tsung : The thought of ruling Outworld now seems quaint, doesn't it?

• Quan Chi : I can't have you holding a grudge.

  General Shao : What do you plan to do about it?

• Quan Chi : Your thoughts on the ancient scrolls I found?

  Shang Tsung : The Kamidogu they speak of can't be real.

• Quan Chi : Perhaps we'd find a different timeline more hospitable.

  Shang Tsung : Without the Hourglass, we can't hope to find one.

• Quan Chi : Surely you need help controlling Onaga.

  General Shao : Not from you, sorcerer.

• Sub-Zero : Father was right about one thing: never trust a sorcerer.

  Quan Chi : Truly, he was a wise man.

• Quan Chi : Your might cannot match my magic.

  Omni-Man : Yeah? Watch me make your head disappear.

• Quan Chi : My aid would ease your conquest.

  Omni-Man : I don't need help, you groveling parasite.

• Quan Chi : What if I told you I could eliminate your brother.

  Sub-Zero : I'm listening.

• Quan Chi : There are other ways to build your army.

  Sub-Zero : I no longer need your assistance, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : Many have fallen trying to stand in my way.

  Scorpion : I won't be among them, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : When I kill you, I'll enslave your soul.

  Scorpion : You aren't that good a sorcerer, Quan Chi.

• Sub-Zero : Your sorcerer's skills proved fool's gold.

  Quan Chi : Shao's failure was not my fault, Sub-Zero.

• Quan Chi : Until Liu Kang dies, the Lin Kuei won't rise.

  Sub-Zero : I have plans for him, Quan Chi.

• Quan Chi : Pyromancy can't match necromancy.

  Scorpion : Be prepared to be proved wrong.

• Quan Chi : Your brother told me of all your weaknesses.

  Scorpion : A short conversation, sorcerer?

• Quan Chi : Ignore my prophecies at your peril, Sub-Zero.

  Sub-Zero : I am not as gullible as Sindel, sorcerer.

• Kenshi : Why couldn't you stay locked up?

  Quan Chi : What would be the fun in that?

• Johnny Cage : Usually I don't hate on people. But you...

  Quan Chi : I'm glad to have made an impression.

• Johnny Cage : Bleached Bone" is a good color on you.

  Quan Chi : Then it's fitting I'll adorn myself with yours.

• Johnny Cage : I hear the Netherrealm's freaking hotter than the Valley.

  Quan Chi : You should judge that for yourself.

• Kenshi : I don't want to see you in Earthrealm or near it.

  Quan Chi : [chuckle]  You can't see me at all.

• Quan Chi : I'll send your limbs back to Kuai Liang one at a time.

  Smoke : That's the creepiest thing anyone's ever said to me.

• Quan Chi : I now control your mother's and sister's souls.

  Smoke : Release them, Quan Chi!

• Quan Chi : The littlest Lin Kuei has come to fight me.

  Smoke : Try the Shirai Ryu's second-in-command.

• Quan Chi : Enough with your youthful exuberance.

  Smoke : I'm glad it annoys you.

• Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 1]  If we band together across timelines...

  Quan Chi : [Quan Chi 2]  No one could stop us!

• Quan Chi : For both our sakes, we must resolve our differences.

  General Shao : I intend to. By taking your life.

• Quan Chi : Your victory over Seido isn't complete.

  Havik : What have I missed, Quan Chi.

• Quan Chi : You turned to Rain in my absence?

  Havik : He was more than up to the task.

• Quan Chi : Ashrah has formed the Order of Light?

  Liu Kang : It better suits her than your Sisterhood of Shadow.

• Quan Chi : There are more Netherrealm secrets I can share with you.

  Havik : I'll find them on my own, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : You still owe me, Havik.

  Havik : Any debt I had has been paid in full.

• Ashrah : You sent Moloch and Drahmin to assassinate me?

  Quan Chi : Clearly they weren't up to the task.

• Tanya : By Argus's power, by Delia's might...

  Quan Chi : I will blacken your soul, 'til it's dark as night.

• Ashrah : It will please me to take your life.

  Quan Chi : Spoken like a true demon.

• Ashrah : You've not an ounce of compassion.

  Quan Chi : I have no use for it, Ashrah.

• Ashrah : Free my sisters of your bondage.

  Quan Chi : Their lives belong to me.

• Ashrah : There is no one in the Netherrealm more evil.

  Quan Chi : You haven't met Valtik, have you?

• Ashrah : Sareena deserves better than to be your slave.

  Quan Chi : I will never grant her freedom, Ashrah.

• Quan Chi : If Liu Kang wields the Hourglass, why couldn't I?

  Geras : Because I won't let you, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : How does one destroy a fixed point in time?

  Geras : You will need to ask a Titan.

• Quan Chi : Kharon can find the Hourglass, can't he.

  Geras : The boatman would never lead you to it.

• Quan Chi : I fail to see how you could be made champion.

  Johnny Cage : Nobody thought I'd be an A-Lister either, yet here I am.

• Quan Chi : A few days in the mines will break you.

  Johnny Cage : Haha! If Hollywood couldn't do it, you sure as hell can't.

• Quan Chi : Small mind, little...

  Johnny Cage : Finish that sentence carefully, sorcerer.

• Quan Chi : That a simpleton like you could help foil our plan...

  Johnny Cage : Says a lot about how good it was, doesn't it?

• Quan Chi : On bended knee, you serve.

  Geras : To better the lives in all realms.

• Quan Chi : Your future audiences will only be demons.

  Johnny Cage : Are they Ashrah-hot? 'Cause--mmm--I could live with that.

• Shang Tsung : Those Soul Stones you've discovered...

  Quan Chi : Are none of your business.

• [Kriss reacting] 

  Ashrah : Quan Chi is close. The emanations of his evil grow stronger.

  Baraka : That is a powerful weapon.

  Ashrah : And my perfect ally. As I smite the evil it finds, I am further purified.

  Johnny Cage : Now I've down steps, so I'm all for self-help. But since when does a demoness want to be less evil?

  Ashrah : I had spent eternity damned to the Netherrealm. I had assumed that's all there was to existence. But when I saw Earthrealm, saw Outworld. Saw there was a better way to live. And that to have it, I needed to cleanse my soul. My sister demons were furious at my change of heart. Kia and Jataaka were the first to hunt me.

  Reptile : Quan Chi is also a demon?

  Ashrah : Actually, he's an Outworlder. But he mastered the dark magic needed for unfettered travel to my realm.

  [insect buzzing. Reptile's tongue snaps. Crunching sounds] 

  Johnny Cage : Any idea how he buddled up with Shang Tsung?

  Ashrah : They share a common benefactor. She plucked them both from obscurity, taught them everything they know. I've never met her, but there's no question that she is a sorcererss beyond compare.

  [Kriss reacting] 

  Ashrah : Quan Chi is near.

  Quan Chi : I am ready for your contributions. Execellent, Nitara. I need yours as well.

  Havik : Darrius and I have been thinking, sorcerer...

  Quan Chi : Do not try to renegotiate, Havik.

  Havik : We need proof that you'll deliver.

  Sareena : That he's delivered for Nitara's Vaeternians is all the proof you need.

  Nitara : Sareena's right. But of Quan Chi's magic, my realm's people are no longer poisoned by sunlight. We have finally escaped the shadows.

  Quan Chi : Rest assured. The spells you will receive will bring down Orderrealm's government.

  Havik : When will we have them, Quan Chi?

  Quan Chi : After the attack on Earthrealm... which could be called off if the soul stealer's efficacy isn't demonstrated promptly.

  [Quan Chi chanting in the distance] 

  Johnny Cage : Well this plot just got thicker.

  Ashrah : Earthrealm is in grave danger. Just one soul stealer can kill hundreds of thousands. If he unleashes a battery of them...

  Baraka : Millions will die.

  Kung Lao : He must be stopped.

  Ashrah : I will deal with Quan Chi. The four of you subdue the others.

  Johnny Cage : Whoa there, big fella. This stop's where you get off.

  Kenshi : You heard her! Millions could die.

• Peacemaker : I've had shits take more effort than beating you will.

  Quan Chi : I will so enjoy killing you.

• Peacemaker : Fuck, this universe would be better off without you!

  Quan Chi : I'm going nowhere, Peacemaker.
