Scenes with Hudson 39

Hudson

Tell me something: Why me?

Because you're old, and getting older. I thought you might even appreciate the opportunity.

Hudson

Growing old terrifies you, doesn't it?

Nothing terrifies me - because nothing is beyond my ability to change.

I don't believe it.

Hudson

Believe it lad, Macbeth's dead.

I had no choice. He would've killed the four of you.

Hudson

No one's questioning you, Goliath. We'd best prepare to sleep here, dawn's upon us.

Hudson

About time you came back. Why did you kidnap me? What do you want of me?

Nothing much, Hudson, just your skin.

Hudson

[holding his sword] You'll have the devil's own task getting it.

Really? [presses a button collects some stone from the bottom of Hudson's cage] See it wasn't as hard as you made it sound.

The Cauldron of Life. The legend says whoever bathes in it will live as long as the mountain stones.

Hudson

Ah, you wish to be... immortal.

Of course, what good are all the riches on Earth, if Fox and I can't enjoy them forever?

Hudson

These ancient talismens are often dangerous, Xanatos. I would've thought your experience with the Eye of Odin would've taught you that.

You could be right. Maybe it would be a good idea to test the brew first. Any volunteers?

If the procedure is successful, I'll release you.

Hudson

And if it isn't?

Then you'll have the privilege of giving your life for science.

Hudson

My clan will never rest until they know where I am!

But they already know where you are. [Owen holds up a model of Hudson] This is just a sculpture's model. The real thing is life sized, and lifelike.

Hudson

Geting old terrifies you, doesn't it?

Nothing terrifies me. Because nothing is beyond my ability to change. What about you? Still sitting in front of a television set. You're of little use to your clan. You may as well be of some use to me.

Hudson

[indignant] Open this cage, and I'll show you how 'useless' I am.

Hudson

Listen to me, Xanatos. What you seek demands a heavy price. I've lived 1100 years, most of my clan is dead and dust. And I'm a stranger in a strange land. Demona and MacBeth are immortal, has it brought them happiness?

Save your breath, Hudson. Death and old age have their price as well. And it's too expensive for me.

[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

[Hudson joins the group] All things considered, I'm just as glad it did.

[Blind Jeffrey Robbins admits that he knows Hudson is a gargoyle.]

Hey, it wasn't hard to figure out, Hudson. Late night visits only. Your accent. That smell.

Hudson

What smell?

Well, you tell me. Sort of like old leather and concrete. Uh, but in a good way!
