I don't believe it.
Believe it lad, Macbeth's dead.
GoliathI had no choice. He would've killed the four of you.
No one's questioning you, Goliath. We'd best prepare to sleep here, dawn's upon us.

I don't believe it.
Believe it lad, Macbeth's dead.
GoliathI had no choice. He would've killed the four of you.
No one's questioning you, Goliath. We'd best prepare to sleep here, dawn's upon us.
Goliath, what if there is no cure?
GoliathThere is a cure. There must be!
GoliathThere is only one other hope. We need a sorceress. We need Demona. You are a detective. You must help us find her.
Goliath, you know I'd do anything to help. But honestly I wouldn't even know where to start looking.
GoliathWe won't give up!
We won't! I promise!
[as the gargoyles and Elisa return to the Hudson decoy statue] No sign of Macbeth.
I still want to know how he lived through that crash and why he keeps attacking us.
Goliath[thinking out loud] It's as though he's trying to keep us off guard while something else is going on.
Goliath[Looking at the remains] Hudson was the greatest warrior I have ever known. His loss diminishes us all.
Yeah, I wish I'd... he was one in a million.
He's forgotten more things than we'll ever know.
He was always there for us.
I'm sorry, Hudson. I wish it hadn't turned out this way.
[Hudson joins the group] All things considered, I'm just as glad it did.
GoliathRaven! Prepare to do battle!
Control yourself, Goliath, I have no fight with you.
He's right. I must battle Raven. Even if I die trying.
What is this, merit badge test night? Oh well, better make sure it's an uneven fight. Totem beasts trapped in wood, the time has come to... do some good.
[time-traveling back to 1941 over London, Goliath narrowly misses being hit by a Spitfire]
Clive, did you see that?
See what, Douglas?
...Ah, nothing. The night sky playing tricks. All right then, chaps. Back to base.
[Elsewhere]
You know, old boy, that could've been a bit nasty.
GoliathYou saved my life... It was supposed to work the other way.
[momentarily confused, then] Think nothing of it. I always hoped there were other gargoyles about. You look like Scottish stock to me. Come to help with the war, have you?
GoliathYou could say that.
Good show!
[over tea] I'm afraid we can't offer you sugar. The war, you know.
GoliathThere is a great deal of hardship, then?
Oh, yes. It's been terrible for us.
[Angrily Griff stands and throws down his teacup.]
For us? We're not important! Unless the Nazis are stopped here and now, the future of the entire world is in jeopardy!
Yes, yes, but we belong down here, protecting our home. If the fight comes to us, so be it.
Leo's right. The Nazis are a human problem.
What do you think, Goliath?
GoliathI do not presume to advise... but in my experience, human problems become gargoyle problems.
Finally, someone talking sense!
Goliath [feeling around his neck]: The Eye... Where is the Eye?
Where it always belonged, gargoyle - with the original owner. I apologize for any trouble I caused in my efforts to reclaim it. It seems I'm out of practice dealing directly with mortals.
GoliathI owe you an apology as well. It seems I am unaccustomed to dealing with a god.... or being one.
Then we have all gained rare enlightment this night: the Eye's standard gift.
Goliath[Sees the Easter Island statues for the 1st time] ...Mmm, what a peculiar sight. Elisa, do you have any idea where we are? [No response] ...Elisa?
She fell asleep.
GoliathGood. She guards us in daylight, and forgets to rest herself.
[Goliath retrieves Elisa from the hotel, not knowing that she is amnesic. The Doctors all try to stop him, but he throws them off with his wings]
GoliathElisa, stop struggling. It's me, Goliath. We're friends.
[Panicking] Get your claws off me!
[Goliath jumps from the balcony with his wings open.]
GoliathYou might want to reconsider your request.
[Elisa looks down at the ground, far beneath them as it gets closer.]
[Panics] Oh...! We're gonna die!
Goliath[Starts gliding] I will not let anything harm you.
[Still nervous from how high up they are] You win. I'll behave... At least while we're this high up.
GoliathI suppose that's a start.
[About her gun] A lot of good this did me.
GoliathI cannot believe you pulled the trigger on me.
Yeah? Well I can't believe I was carrying an empty revolver. What kind of cop am I?
GoliathA very good one. It's not your fault. You've been out of bullets since we left Avalon. Try and remember.
[Still apprehensive about being off the ground] Just shut up and land.
Goliath[Starts to land] Elisa, please... We have been friends for over a year, good friends! We've been... travelling together with my daughter Angela. And Bronx?
[Taken back] Whoa, Tiny, you mean there's more than one of you?
Goliath[Sternly] My name is not 'Tiny'. I am Goliath. Think! The castle... Xanatos... Gargoyles-
[Hysterical] -Stop-it! Stop-it! I just don't remember! I'm not even sure I want to remember!
Goliath[Grimly] Someone has done this to you... [Clenches fist] I swear they will pay!...
That's some story all right. Gargoyle clans, mutated brothers, magic spells. You threw in everything but King Arthur and the Holy Grail.
GoliathYes, well, we haven't encountered the Holy Grail... yet.
Your body was destroyed!
Sad but true. However, my brain patterns and personality were successfully downloaded into my computer network - granting me the immortality I've always desired.
GoliathYou're not immortal! You're not even Xanatos! The real Xanatos at his worst would not have done what you've done. You're just an unfeeling machine.
Well, this machine is about to download onto every computer on the world wide net, bringing the planet exactly the kind of order it needs: my kind.
The world needs your kind of order like it needs another Ice Age!
[The Xanatos Program holds up virtual Goliath's disembodied head.]
Alas, poor Goliath. I knew him well.
GoliathYou will not win!
What are you going to do? Bite my kneecaps off?
GoliathWhat about... him?
Yes... what about him?
I have a sunny disposition and I'm always kind to animals?
