Macbeth quotes from Gargoyles

Macbeth

[after throwing Broadway] You understand, I don't get any real pleasure from this. [Broadway growls] Well you've got courage, beastie. I'll give you that. What you don't have... is a prayer.

Macbeth

[Watching Demona in battle] You fight like a demon.

Mr. MacBeth, Mr. Xanatos hired you to fumigate his castle, not destroy it.

Macbeth

Quite right. We'll continue this elsewhere.

Macbeth

It's not you I'm after. You're just a pawn. I want your queen.

Goliath

Queen? We have no queen!

Macbeth

No? What about... Demona?

Goliath

You know Demona?

Macbeth

Know her? [chuckles] I named her!

Broadway

You were there.

MacBeth

[laughs] I'm old, but I'm not that old. Obviously, I read about it.

Broadway

But... you describe it as if you were there.

Goliath

Release Broadway.

Macbeth

Or what?

Goliath

Or I'll burn the scrolls.

Macbeth

Go ahead. They're worthless. No magic at all.

Broadway

No! They are magic! But you can't burn them, Goliath. You can't! It's Merlin's life, in his own words. When you read them, they take you there. It is magic, Goliath. Precious magic.

Hudson

Aye, lad. T'would be the greatest shame to lose them.

Macbeth

You're all trespassing. Now take the scrolls and go.

Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

All hail Duncan, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!

All hail Macbeth, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!

You speak treason, you old crone!

Macbeth

You are but half right, good mothers. Duncan is the true and proper king.

King now, he is, but each of you shall in turn be king.

Macbeth

I say ye nay weird sisters. Prince Canmore is destined to be king after Duncan.

You would lecture us on fate?

Time for a little family reunion, cousin!

Macbeth

NO! This I must do!

Macbeth

You brought this on yourself, cousin, I was loyal.

You have a strange way of showing it.

Macbeth

Humans will learn to respect you.

Demona

I would rather they fear me.

Macbeth

They'll do that too, Demona.

Demona

"Demona"... I like the sound of that.

Macbeth

No one, Demona? You've forgotten about me. With all the inhabitants of this city frozen in stone, it wasn't hard to spot all those robots and gargoyles taking off from the world's tallest building. So I investigated and found exactly who I was looking for.

Demona

You're too late. You can't save them. No one can!

Macbeth

I'm not here for them. I'm here for you. I want it over between us!

Macbeth

I wear this as a reminder of your treachery.

Demona

Let's not start that again. You blame me, I blame you. Aren't you tired of talking about it?

Macbeth

I'm not here to talk.

Demona

Then what? You know the rules. Killing me will gain you nothing but your own death.

Macbeth

After this long a lifetime, I have no fear of that, and no desire to live in the kind of world you're creating. Revenge is a dish best eaten cold, Demona. And I have waited nine hundred years for this meal.

Goliath

No! Killing her won't solve anything! Death never does.

He's right, Macbeth. Duncan was afraid that your father would make you king. Did your father's death stop you from becoming king?

Macbeth

No!

You wanted revenge for your father. Did Gillecomgain's death settle that score?

Macbeth

No.

Did your own death save your son Luach from Canmore?

Macbeth

No...

Goliath

Death is never the answer. Life is.

Macbeth

I'm just so tired...

Then sleep, Macbeth.

Macbeth

Canmore, your father was an evil man who deserved his fate. But you were just a boy then, so I offer you one last opportunity for forgiveness and mercy.

Demona

He will not require it. But you will!

Macbeth

[Gasps] Demona? First desertion, and now betrayal! WHY?

Demona

I merely offer a sample of what you planned for me.

Macbeth

I planned for you to govern by my side. And now because of YOU, my kingdom is in flames!

Macbeth

We don't need to wait for sunset. You're still thinking like a gargoyle.

Demona

I am a Gargoyle! Although this form does prove useful at times.

Macbeth

Is it supposed to hurt that much? I thought you said the changeling, Puck, turns you into a human during the day as a gift.

Demona

Puck's gifts always come with a price. My consolation is that our magical link allows you to suffer as well.

Macbeth

Just get on with it.
