Quotes 

• Purifier : [to Riddick]  I was supposed to deliver a message to you... if Vaako failed to kill you. A message from the Lord Marshal himself. He tells you to stay away from Helion, stay away from him, and in return, you'll be hunted no more. But Vaako will most likely report you as dead. So this is your chance. Your chance to do what no man has ever done.

• Purifier : We all began as something else.

• Dame Vaako : [about the Necropolis]  The first six Lord Marshals have called this home. Magnificent, isn't it?

  Richard B. Riddick : I might have gone a different way.

  Purifier : True of us all.

• Purifier : The Necromonger in me warns you not to go back.

  [pause] 

  Purifier : But the Furyan in me... hopes you won't listen.

  [shows blade to Riddick then drops it] 

  Purifier : God knows... I've dreamed of it.

  Purifier : In this verse, life is antagonistic to the natural state. Here humans in all their various races are a spontaneous outbreak. An unguided mistake. Our purpose is to correct that mistake... because there is another verse. A verse where life is welcomed and cherished. A ravishing ever-new place called Underverse... but the road to that verse crosses over the threshold.

• Purifier : I've done... unbelievable things... in the name of a faith that was never my own. And he'll do to her what he did to me.

• Purifier : It was hard for me to accept too, the first time I heard these words... But I changed. I let them take away my pain. Just was you will change when you realize the threshold to the Underverse will be crossed only by those who have embraced the Necromonger faith, by those of you who will right now, drop to your knees, and ask, to be purified.

• Purifier : They learn how one pain can lessen another
