Demona quotes from Gargoyles

Demona

Goliath, destroy him! [Goliath doesn't move] I hold the book, you must obey me!

Brooklyn

[holding a torn-out page (from the Grimorum Arcanorum spellbook)] You hold the book, Demona, but I hold the spell! Goliath, take 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.

Coldstone

You said that destroying my brother is the only way to survive. Is that all there is for us, mere survival?

Demona

Isn't that enough?

Goliath

No. Gargoyles protect. It is our nature. Our purpose. To lose that is to be corrupt. Empty. Lifeless.

Coldstone

What am I?

Demona

You are cold stone brought to life.

Coldstone

Coldstone?

Goliath

You told him these lies! I LIVED FOR MY CLAN!

Demona

And they died for you! Smashed to dust by the humans you trusted!

Demona

We have each created our own clans now, Goliath. You have yours. And I have mine.

Goliath

You have no clan. You don't know the meaning of the word!

Puck

Is this how you welcome all your guests?

Demona

Any who would turn on me. And you're not a guest. You serve the human, now you can serve me.

Puck

Serving humans is fun. They have a sense of humor. You have none.

Demona

Perhaps not, Puck, but I have you.

Puck

Well, let's just get this over with, shall we? How can I be of service, hmm? Out with it. I haven't got all night.

Demona

You've got all millennium if I choose. [Ponders] I'm too vulnerable during the day. I don't want to turn to stone anymore.

Puck

Of course. You want to stroll down Fifth Avenue in the sunshine. I'm sure you'll fit right in.

Puck

What is it you really want? [He touches the mirror, and an image of Goliath appears] How quaint. After all these centuries, you're still carrying a torch. Well, if that's you want, I can make him love you again. Piece of cake... given your charming personality.

Demona

That's it! That's what I want! If you cannot get rid of all the humans, then at least rid me of that human: Elisa Maza!

Puck

Did you say that human, or that human? Oh, never mind, I'll figure it out. This just might be fun after all.

Demona

I want you to get rid of the humans. ALL of them.

Puck

Does this look like Aladdin's lamp? I have limits, after all.

Demona

I would know you no matter what your form, Goliath! Take care of them, Puck.

Puck

As you wish... Humans love a battle hearty. So does Puck; come on, let's party!

Goliath

Demona...

Demona

I'm only attending this farce because Xanatos insisted. And I need to keep him as an ally. I neither know nor care why you're here.

Goliath

This is not the first wedding ritual we've attended together. Don't you remember?

Demona

I'm not interested in reminscing!

Demona

[Referring to Goliath, who's wounded] Believe me, I know exactly how you feel. But you cannot trust him. He's weak. He cares more for the humans than for our clan. The greatest favor you can do him, would be to put him out of our misery, forever! You must know I'm right. Can't you see I'm right? I am what you will become!

I will never be like you!

Demona

I do not wish to hurt you.

And I do not wish to be you!

Demona

Get away from me, you sentimental fool. You may have prevented me from altering the past, but you failed too. You see, I have clear memories of your little inspirational about keeping my vows of love. I never forgot it. Obviously history is immutable.

Goliath

More's the pity.

[After Demona unmasks him] Look closely, creature. T'is your handiwork. Done when I was but a boy. Remember?

Demona

No.
