Scenes with Elisa Maza 55

Elisa Maza

I'm no hero, I just do my job, and my job for tonight is over. All I want to do is hit the sack.

Why would you want to hit a sack?

Oh, she means she's tired and wants to sleep.

Then why didn't she just say so?

Elisa Maza

[Demona lands at the Clock Tower just before sunrise] Spending the day here, Demona? The sun's about to come up.

Is it really? [The sun rises and Demona changes into her human form]

Elisa Maza

If you're human, then you're subject to human laws. [draws her weapon] You're under arrest! You have the right to remain silent!

If I remain silent, you'll never see your precious Goliath again!

[Demona's aiming a weapon at Elisa] Surely you're not afraid to face her, hand-to-hand?

HDHuman Demona

I fear no Human! [drops the weapon] Come, Detective! Goliath cannot save you now.

Elisa Maza

I'm here to save him!

Elisa Maza

[Coldstone is about to fly off] Wait! Goliath and the others will want to see you.

COColdstone/Othello

No. There are forces at war within me. And until that battle is decided, no Gargoyle is safe with Coldstone. Tell my brother, I will return some day... if I can.

BMBeth Maza

Great, sis. A cop who can cook.

Elisa Maza

[Humorously] Yeah, I should get my own cable TV show. [To her dad] C'mon, dad. It's mom's chicken mole.

BMBeth Maza

Remember when Derek would call dibs on the pot... [Looks around to see everyone looking down as Derek is missing] ...Oh, me and my big mouth. I take a break from school and my brain goes into neutral.

PMPeter Maza

[To Elisa] Have you heard from your brother?

EMEliza Maza

Not yet... But you know Derek, he'll check in when he want's to.

PMPeter Maza

One more week, and I'm filing a report.

There is only one other hope. We need a sorceress. We need Demona. You are a detective. You must help us find her.

Elisa Maza

Goliath, you know I'd do anything to help. But honestly I wouldn't even know where to start looking.

We won't give up!

Elisa Maza

We won't! I promise!

[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.

Elisa Maza

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.

[Prof. Lydia Dwayne and Dr. Arthur Morwood-Smith, on holiday on Rapa Nui/Easter Island, spot Elisa wandering out on her own at night]

PLProf. Lydia Dwayne

Now, that's odd.

AMDr. Arthur Morwood-Smith

Odd, indeed. [As they pass her] Perhaps she's been separated from one of those tour groups.

[Turns around to catch up. Drives past and stops in front of her]

AMDr. Arthur Morwood-Smith

[To Elisa] Do you often go wandering about at night, young lady?

Elisa Maza

Who are you?

PLProf. Lydia Dwayne

I'm Professor. Lydia Dwayne, this is my collegue, Dr. Arthur Morwood-Smith. We're archaeologists on holiday.

Elisa Maza

Then how-about telling me exactly where 'here' is, or for that matter, who I am?

[Later]

AMDr. Arthur Morwood-Smith

My dear, are you saying you don't remember your own name?

Elisa Maza

[Despairingly] I can't seem to remember anything. I feel lucky I know how to talk.

PLProf. Lydia Dwayne

Well, we can at least tell you where you are, perhaps that'll jog your memory.

AMDr. Arthur Morwood-Smith

The natives call this land "Rapa Nui".

PLProf. Lydia Dwayne

In modern times, it's become far better known as "Easter Island".

Elisa Maza

Easter Island? How did I end up in the middle of the Pacific?

AMDr. Arthur Morwood-Smith

Well, I can't answer that, my dear, but we're certianly are't going to leave you wandering about in your condition.

Elisa Maza

Yeah... Well... I guess I could use a ride...

[At 'The Islander' hotel]

Elisa Maza

According to my wallet, my name is "Elisa Maza", and I'm a New York City Policewoman.

PLProf. Lydia Dwayne

I thought you looked familiar. We've met before. Do you remember the Scrolls of Merlin?

Elisa Maza

[Sighs] No. I'm sorry.

ADr. Arnada

Do you know what a scroll is?

Elisa Maza

[exasperated] Of course.

ADr. Arnada

Well, you can be grateful you general knowledge appears to be intact. [Shines a light in her eye]

Elisa Maza

Yeah, I'm jumping for joy here, doc.

[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]

Elisa, stop struggling. It's me, Goliath. We're friends.

Elisa Maza

[Panicking] Get your claws off me!

[Goliath jumps from the balcony with his wings open.]

You might want to reconsider your request.

[Elisa looks down at the ground, far beneath them as it gets closer.]

Elisa Maza

[Panics] Oh...! We're gonna die!

[Starts gliding] I will not let anything harm you.

Elisa Maza

[Still nervous from how high up they are] You win. I'll behave... At least while we're this high up.

I suppose that's a start.

Elisa Maza

[About her gun] A lot of good this did me.

I cannot believe you pulled the trigger on me.

Elisa Maza

Yeah? Well I can't believe I was carrying an empty revolver. What kind of cop am I?

A very good one. It's not your fault. You've been out of bullets since we left Avalon. Try and remember.

Elisa Maza

[Still apprehensive about being off the ground] Just shut up and land.

[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?

Elisa Maza

[Taken back] Whoa, Tiny, you mean there's more than one of you?

[Sternly] My name is not 'Tiny'. I am Goliath. Think! The castle... Xanatos... Gargoyles-

Elisa Maza

[Hysterical] -Stop-it! Stop-it! I just don't remember! I'm not even sure I want to remember!

[Grimly] Someone has done this to you... [Clenches fist] I swear they will pay!...

Elisa Maza

That's some story all right. Gargoyle clans, mutated brothers, magic spells. You threw in everything but King Arthur and the Holy Grail.

Yes, well, we haven't encountered the Holy Grail... yet.
