Owen Burnett quotes from Gargoyles

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."

Elisa Maza

I have to tell you, Mr. Burnett. I'm still surprised at being asked back seeing as how I busted your boss.

Mr. Xanatos is not the sort to harbor a grudge, Detective Maza. And he wouldn't dream of denying you the opportunity to see your friends.

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.

[As the sun's about to rise] I'm afraid I have some bad news for you.

Goliath

[About to turn to stone] What is it? Speak quickly now!

Your friend, Elisa Maza, has been shot. They're not sure if she'll surive.

Mr. Xanatos isn't going to like this...

Goliath

I'll be happy to discuss the matter with him.

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

Macbeth

Quite right. We'll continue this elsewhere.

Goliath

I have a message for your master: we're leaving. But we'll be back. We'll be back to claim that which is ours.

I'll deliver your message.

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

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...

Actually, Mr. Xanatos, I believe he's right. You've never looked more heroic.

David Xanatos

A momentary lapse, I assure you.

Will Goliath actually be here?

David Xanatos

Oh, he'll be here. I bet my future on it.

Elisa Maza

[To Xanatos] Demona's broadcast originated from Pack Media Studios. You own it! So, as usual, this is all your fault!

Mr. Xanatos is trying to fix things. What are you doing to help?

David Xanatos

That's one way to settle an argument.

David Xanatos

You'll forgive me if I just shake your hand.

[Shaking hands] Of course. I'm quite glad the plan worked.

You mean that creature is still out there? It has the money, it's as powerful as Goliath, and it's smarter than you?

Xanatos

Owen, I think I've created a monster.

Hudson

What's in this for you.

Service is its own reward. I would've thought you knew that.
