Gargoyles quotes

Elisa Maza

What could put claw marks in solid stone?

I'm Tom. What's your name?

Except for Goliath, we don't have names.

How do you tell each other apart?

We look different.

But what do you call each other?

"Friend".

Goliath

It is the nature of humankind to fear what they do not understand. Their ways are not our ways.

Brooklyn

If they think we're beasts and monsters...

Lexington

Then perhaps we better live up to the name.

Goliath

[devastated] My angel of the night... [lets out a roar of anguish]

Goliath

Were there anymore down in the rookery?

None. Only us.

Goliath

I've been denied everything... EVEN MY REVENGE!

David Xanatos

Start hiring crews, I want to begin as soon as possible.

It may prove difficult to find the necessary manpower. This castle has a bad reputation. The locals consider it haunted.

David Xanatos

You know the answer to that, Owen. "Pay a man enough and he'll walk barefoot into Hell."

What exactly does a "detective" do, lass?

Elisa Maza

Well, uh, when somebody does something wrong, I find out who and arrest them.

Goliath

Who says what's wrong?

Elisa Maza

Well, we have a justice system. Laws, penalties, assessments. But the people decide.

Goliath

You mean the humans decide.

Hudson

Must you humans name everything? Nothing's real to you 'til you've named it, given it limits.

Elisa Maza

It's not like that. It's just that, well... uh... things need names.

Hudson

Does the sky need a name? Does the river?

Elisa Maza

The river's called the Hudson.

Hudson

Fine, lass. Then I will be the Hudson as well.

Elisa Maza

A good detective trusts no one.

Goliath

That's one thing we have in common.

Brooklyn

We should choose names too. Names that suit our new lives here.

Goliath

Oh? And what might they be?

Brooklyn

Mmmm... Brooklyn... I'm Brooklyn.

Broadway

Broadway.

Lexington

Lexington. Do you like it?

Goliath

They're all fine names. I guess he'll need a one as well.

Brooklyn

Oh, ho. I've got one for him too. From now on, you're Bronx!

Demona

We've dreamed for a thousand years, Goliath. It's time for our dreams to come true.

Elisa Maza

Listen, Goliath, we haven't known each other very long, and I know you don't have any good reason to trust humans... But you've got to trust somebody in this world. And I think you'd be better off with me than with Xanatos... You won't regret it.

Demona

I have a name, too, Goliath. The humans gave it to me long ago. You should know it before you die. I am... Demona.
