Hudson quotes from Gargoyles

Hudson

Maybe we shouldn't believe everything we see on television.

Hudson

Movies, television, video games... These days, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not.

Hudson

A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air.

Hudson

[As he's surrounded by three members of the Pack] Go on then. We're none of us getting any younger.

Hudson

A friendly word of advice. True immortality isn't about living forever, man: It's about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming's done, what will be your legacy, Xanatos?

Hudson

You can't keep me in here forever! [Touches his cage and gets shocked] I'll get out! Do you hear? I'll get out!

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.

Hudson

Lad, they're right, you know. It's just a place of stone and wood. Home is more than that, Goliath. Home is the six of us, whenever we can be together and safe...that's our home. [Goliath roars in frustration much to everybody's horror before turning to the castle] Come, Goliath. Let's be going.

Goliath

Give me one minute. [then he flies off]

Lexington

I'll...I'll bet I can get this place working.

Brooklyn

Why would you want to?

Hudson

It's not so bad, there's a place right there for a TV.

Elisa Maza

Ok, it's a fixer-upper. But with a few throw rugs and flowers, it could be home.

Goliath

Yes... and as long we're together, it's home.

Brooklyn

What's Demona's game this time?

Goliath

I don't know. But we're going to find out.

Elisa Maza

But I'm okay. You don't have to go! You know it's a trap!

Hudson

If he doesn't go now, Demona will know her plan failed. She'll come after you again.

Goliath

It's hopeless, Hudson. Save yourself.

Hudson

Hear me, lad. We go together, or we don't go at all.

Goliath

[Weakly] You can't... face her.

Hudson

I can face her. I just can't beat her.

Hudson

Give it up, girl. You can't win.

Demona

I'm smarter, stronger and I'm younger than you! Your pride will cost you your life!

Hudson

But I know something you don't. Something that only comes with age. I know how to wait.

Hudson

It is time for me to step down, and for you to lead.

Goliath

It was your skills that led us to the Archmage. I cannot take command now!

Hudson

It's time, my friend. [Hudson puts his hand on Goliath's shoulder]

Goliath

Then I will. But only if you stay by my side. I will need your wisdom to guide me.

Goliath

Thank you for keeping me alive, Hudson. There's no one else I'd rather have at my side.

Hudson

[slight chuckle] I'd forgotten that for a time. [slight scoff] I thought my warrior days were over.

Goliath

Nonsense! There are years of fighting left for you.

Hudson

Aye, now there's something to look forward to.
