David Xanatos quotes from Gargoyles

David Xanatos

Never a gargoyle around when you need one.

David Xanatos

IT'S ALIVE, ALIVE! [beat] I've always wanted to say that.

David Xanatos

Incredible. If I'd have known the Eye of Odin had that kind of power, I never would have just given it away. Oh-well, spilt milk. Let's move on to plan B.

David Xanatos

[Looking at all the statues in the city] Obviously, Demona and I need to have a little talk.

David Xanatos

Better watch out, Owen. This Macbeth may be gunning for your job. He's already died for me once on this project. It's hard to top that.

David Xanatos

Goliath. I must say, these last-minute upsets you keep handing me are becoming... irritating.

Xanatos

Devoted wife, mother, one-woman vigilante squad. What a woman.

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."

Everything was done as you stipulated, sir. The Cable TV was adjusted so that the only program the gargoyles could see was the Pack's. The Pack received a mysterious envelope of photographs, and reacted just as you predicted. A pity nothing else happened according to plan.

David Xanatos

Oh, I wouldn't say that, Owen. Though they didn't know it was me, I created the Pack to be far more than a TV show. I had to see how good they were. And having underestimated Goliath once before, I had to see what he was capable of as well. All-in-all, I'd say the test was most informative.

David Xanatos

You've been practicing. This is the first time I've ever lost a match to you.

Would you rather I pretend to lose?

David Xanatos

I'd fire you if you did.

David Xanatos

Soon everyone in New York will be hunting gargoyles.

Goliath

Because of you!

David Xanatos

If you're going to be picky, we won't get anywhere.

David Xanatos

I have the Eye of Odin back in my private collection, and the city owes me a favor for donating it. I successfully tested this prototype battle exo-frame. And the most important thing...

Yes?

David Xanatos

I was a little worried that I might be getting soft. But I was able to stand up against Goliath, the greatest warrior alive. I'd say I've still got the edge...

David Xanatos

I missed you.

Fox

Not as much as I've missed you. So, who won?

David Xanatos

It never mattered. That was merely the icing - you're the cake. [kisses her] The whole escape was staged to give you a shot at an early parole. [reveals Coyote's half-mangled head] Plus I got to test this prototype humanoid robot.

Fox

But they destroyed it. What about your revenge?

David Xanatos

Revenge, as they say, is a sucker's game. Robots are nothing, Fox, my dear. I can build a dozen more like this one. True love is so much harder to come by.

David Xanatos

[Elisa's trying to enter Genu-Tech] How are you feeling?

Derek Maza

Pretty lousy.

David Xanatos

Just say the word, and I'll have her brought up here. Don't worry about me. This is as much my fault as it is Sevarius's.

Derek Maza

No! I can't face her now. Not until he's cured me.

Anton Sevarius

I was particularly proud of my death scene.

David Xanatos

Frankly, Sevarius, I thought you overplayed the part.
