Elisa Maza quotes from Gargoyles

Elisa Maza

What could put claw marks in solid stone?

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.

Elisa Maza

[to Goliath] Huh, I think your head stays rock hard even at night.

Elisa Maza

[after Goliath turns to stone] That's one way of avoiding a conversation.

Elisa Maza

[Watching a robber turn himself in] You know what, guys? The city feels safer already.

Elisa Maza

Now it's war, Xanatos! You're going down for this. I promise you! No matter what it takes!

Elisa Maza

You did your best, Broadway. Now it's my turn.

Elisa Maza

[To Goliath] Come on. I've wanted to stroll down a city street with you for a long time.

Elisa Maza

[Awakens from being knocked out by MacBeth and rubs her head, groaning] How long was I out? [Looks at her watch] Wow! Most of the day!

Elisa Maza

[Abruptly woken-up] How did I end up here? The Skiff! Where's the skiff?

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.

Elisa Maza

I have to tell you, Mr. Burnett. I'm still surprised at being asked back seeing as how I busted your boss.

Mr. Xanatos is not the sort to harbor a grudge, Detective Maza. And he wouldn't dream of denying you the opportunity to see your friends.

Goliath

But welcome to our home, especially now that Xanatos has been defeated. And this castle is truly ours once more!

Elisa Maza

That's what I wanted to talk to you about. You know that Xanatos was only convicted of receiving stolen property.

Goliath

Convicted?

Elisa Maza

He was accused of that specific crime, and that's what he got sent to prison for. But he only got a six-month sentence, and we're lucky it wasn't suspended. His lawyers will probably get that time cut down. The point is, it's not safe here for you guys.

Goliath

What are you saying?

Elisa Maza

I'm saying you have to find a new place to sleep during the day, a new home, Goliath.

Goliath

No! this castle is our home.

Elisa Maza

Sorry but it's not. Xanatos bought it lock, stock and gargoyle. Do you understand what i'm saying?. Every minute you stay here you're in danger.

Goliath

You worry too much elisa. Xanatos has been defeated. We are safe here.
