GoliathWhat do we do with them?
We have written their stories. They are our responsibility. They are our children.
Goliath, we made a good team. You know all this time, I've wondered why I let you creatures live. Now I know. You come in handy now and then.
GoliathAs do you... occasionally.
You don't understand! Demona is still out there!
Some of his circuits must be crossed. MacBeth and Demona would never work together.
[Drops Demona on the ground next to MacBeth] Uh, guess again.
GoliathThey must have both escaped the Weird Sisters together.
But why team up? They hate each other!
Maybe misery loves company.
"Not my fault?" Not my fault! You sound like every human employee I ever fired! Crush all of them together and you couldn't squeeze one iota of personal integrity from the lot! No excuses, creature! Learn to take responsibility for your own actions! And STOP whining!
GoliathA gargoyle doesn't whine! He ROARS! [Breaks his chains]
[Sarcastically] Oh, I am trembling in my chair.
At last, I get to see one of Gen-U-Tech's abominable creations in the flesh. Xanatos and his lab rats must be proud of you.
GoliathI'm not a creation! My name is Goliath. And I belong to *no one*, especially not Xanatos!
GoliathYou believe I am not responsible. Yet I remain your prisoner?
Who said you're not responsible? It doesn't matter that you were tricked, you know now that your actions inflicted grievous damage. Do you take responsibility for them or not? Well, what are you going to do?
GoliathA better question might be: what are you going to do?
What would be the honorable thing to do? I suppose I should just turn you over to the proper authorities.
GoliathLook at me, human! I'll spend the rest of my life as a laboratory specimen. Was my crime against you so heinous to make that and equitable punishment?
[Slight chuckle] We're making progress. You finally acknowledged you committed a crime.
GoliathNo more excuses. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I was wrong.
I'm glad you are 'gargoyle' enough to admit it.
GoliathIt was not easy.
Integrity is never easy. It's a daily struggle, a costly struggle. If you only knew what it cost me: My Anastasia. My Janine.
GoliathMy Angel of the Night.
All I know is I'm about to be wiped out!
GoliathIt doesn't have to be that way. I can break these chains. [breaks his restraints] But only you can get me past the bars. I helped destroy Fortress I, let me help you save Fortress II.
Well it seems Mr. Vogel's betrayal has only provided further proof that the human species is devoid of integrity.
GoliathI disagree. If anything, Vogel's sabotage demonstrates the folly of placing all of one's trust in single-minded automatons. Automatons know nothing of betrayal or honor. They know only what they're programmed to know. Only living beings possess the ability to change, and make new choices. Ultimately, Vogel chose honor.
[smiles] Huh... I suppose he did at that. You've given me much to consider. But one thing I'm certain of: your debt to me is paid in full, a ship for a ship, we are even.
GoliathNo... We are friends.
Yes... Friends.
GoliathSurely you know I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally in the dark.
[dryly] Do ye even know how to laugh maniacally?
[About the upgraded Pack] Even the Archmage's sorcery never brewed creatures such as these.
GoliathWe have defeated them before.
Not the new, upgraded model.
Goliath[Sees Coyote flying off] That's the source of the trouble.
Follow it. I'll take care of this Forest Demon!
[working on a cure for the Mutates] I don't know if this will work. I'm not used to working in such primitive conditions.
GoliathJust get back to work... before conditions really do get primitive.
[seeing Broadway] Jalapena! You're still alive! It's a miracle!
GoliathYes. A miracle called Elisa.
What I don't get is Macbeth. Why did he cut and run?
Yeah. That's a good question. He keeps saying he wants us as trophies, but why didn't he come back while we were stone?
