Gargoyles quotes

Demona

Don't be afraid. I just want to talk.

Brooklyn

Uh-huh? Yeah, last time we met, you just wanted to blow me away with a bazooka.

Demona

That was then.

Brooklyn

And this is goodbye. [prepares to glide off]

Demona

Wait, please! I'm sorry, Brooklyn. I know I shouldn't have shot at you. I was crazy with grief and rage. If you only knew what I've gone through for hundreds of years, dealing with the humans...

Brooklyn

Hundreds of years? I thought you were under the sleep spell like we were.

Demona

It's a long story. Centuries long. I'd like to tell you about it. If you'll let me.

Brooklyn

I don't trust you, Demona.

Demona

You don't know the depths to which humanity can sink, my young friend. But I do. Over the centuries, I've seen hundreds of horrors that would blast your soul! Come let me show you what mankind is really like.

Demona

What would you do? Capture him for human justice? He'd be out of jail in a day.

Demona

They can't even share their homes without fighting. What makes you think they will share this world with us.

Demona

They hold each other's lives completely without worth. And you think they will accept us with open arms?

Brooklyn

But not all humans are like that. Elisa is our friend.

Demona

Perhaps the policewoman is the exception that proves the rule. But can she keep you safe from the rest of humanity? Only we can protect each other, Brooklyn. We must be united and strong. And willing to deal with the humans as they would deal with us! Goliath thinks we can hide amidst the humans like mice and hope for their understanding. This is not possible.

Elisa Maza

[after Goliath turns to stone] That's one way of avoiding a conversation.

Goliath

Demona? So you did survive.

Demona

I always survive.

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!

Demona

[as she's fighting Goliath who's still under a spell] Even with no will of your own, you're a force to be reckoned with.

Brooklyn

Any species that has you as a member can't be all bad.

Elisa Maza

Thanks... I think.

Brooklyn

Goliath, I'm sorry--

Goliath

You apologized once already, Brooklyn. I could hear, even though I could not act.

Brooklyn

What Demona said sounded true at the time--

Goliath

Of course it did. It's a half-truth that she has thoroughly embraced. But it's not the whole truth.

Lexington

Hey! What happened to the motorcycle?

Brooklyn

Um... it... blew up.

Lexington

Oh... WHAT?!

Hudson

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

Elisa Maza

Sooner or later you're gonna slip up, Tony, and when you do, I'll be there.

Hey, I told you... I'm not the guy. And if I was the guy, you couldn't do anything about it. In fact, if I were to tell one of my associates here to sell off some... merchandise to raise some operating capital, you couldn't do anything about that either. Face it, sugar... You got nothing.

Broadway

Sorry, my fault. I was playing with the gun. Stupid of me. Hope I didn't break anything... Elisa? [Finds Elisa lying on the floor bleeding from a gunshot wound] No!

[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.

Goliath

Keep fighting, Elisa. Don't give up. Come back to us. Know that I will finish what you started. I will find the man who did this to you, and I will make him pay!
