Heartwarming / The Black Phone

Go To

  • Robin (one of the only ghosts to still remember who he is) speaking over the phone to Finney and giving him a much-needed pep talk during the latter's lowest point:
Robin: I can see you.
Finney: You can?
Robin: I'm with you. I've been with you this whole time.
Finney: You have?
Robin: A man never leaves a friend behind. My dad didn't leave his buddies behind when he went to 'Nam. That's why he didn't come home. And I'm not coming home either. And I'm not going to leave you behind.
Finney: We'll be together again soon.
Robin: Fuck that. You ain't gonna go like I did.
Finney: I've tried everything. Nothing's worked.
Robin: Yet.
Finney: Robin—
Robin: Do you remember what I told you?
Finney: That someday I have to stand up for myself.
Robin: Someday is today, Finn. Today's the day you stop taking shit from anybody[...] You've always been a fighter, Finn. That's what we have in common, why we're friends. You were always afraid to throw a punch, but you always knew how to take one. And you always got back up every time.
Finney: I'm not strong enough.
Robin: You have to be. You're getting out of here. If you can't do it for you, do it for me.
Finney: What does it matter?
Robin: Because I don't wanna die for nothing. I want to have at least died for a friend. And because I can't kill that hijo de puta, you have to do it for me.
Finney: How?[...] (After Robin has taught him how to beat the Grabber with the phone.) I miss you, Robin.
Robin: Then get out for me. Use what we [the ghosts] gave you.
Finney: I will.
