Gargoyles · Season 1
[Demona lands at the Clock Tower just before sunrise] Spending the day here, Demona? The sun's about to come up.
Is it really? [The sun rises and Demona changes into her human form]
If you're human, then you're subject to human laws. [draws her weapon] You're under arrest! You have the right to remain silent!
If I remain silent, you'll never see your precious Goliath again!
I'll bring Goliath and the others to Belveder Castle in Central park at high noon. If you show up, you still won't save them, and it will certainly cost you your life. But if you don't show up, Goliath will see what human loyalty is really worth. Either way I win!
I never dreamt I'd see the sun. Why haven't I changed to stone?
Because you are no longer a Gargoyle. Day or night, you are Coldstone!
[Demona's aiming a weapon at Elisa] Surely you're not afraid to face her, hand-to-hand?
I fear no Human! [drops the weapon] Come, Detective! Goliath cannot save you now.
I'm here to save him!
[Coldstone is about to fly off] Wait! Goliath and the others will want to see you.
No. There are forces at war within me. And until that battle is decided, no Gargoyle is safe with Coldstone. Tell my brother, I will return some day... if I can.
"Not my fault?" Not my fault! You sound like every human employee I ever fired! Crush all of them together and you couldn't squeeze one iota of personal integrity from the lot! No excuses, creature! Learn to take responsibility for your own actions! And STOP whining!
A gargoyle doesn't whine! He ROARS! [Breaks his chains]
[Sarcastically] Oh, I am trembling in my chair.
At last, I get to see one of Gen-U-Tech's abominable creations in the flesh. Xanatos and his lab rats must be proud of you.
I'm not a creation! My name is Goliath. And I belong to *no one*, especially not Xanatos!
You believe I am not responsible. Yet I remain your prisoner?
Who said you're not responsible? It doesn't matter that you were tricked, you know now that your actions inflicted grievous damage. Do you take responsibility for them or not? Well, what are you going to do?
A better question might be: what are you going to do?
You seem distracted, having second thoughts?
About that last kick?
About Renard, if your hostile take over succeeds, he'll be completely wiped out. He's not a young man.
Oh, he'll manage. He always has. If all goes well CyberBiotics will be mine by tomorrow morning. We'll celebrate over breakfast.
What would be the honorable thing to do? I suppose I should just turn you over to the proper authorities.
Look at me, human! I'll spend the rest of my life as a laboratory specimen. Was my crime against you so heinous to make that and equitable punishment?
[Slight chuckle] We're making progress. You finally acknowledged you committed a crime.
No more excuses. I accept full responsibility for my actions. I was wrong.
I'm glad you are 'gargoyle' enough to admit it.
It was not easy.
Integrity is never easy. It's a daily struggle, a costly struggle. If you only knew what it cost me: My Anastasia. My Janine.
My Angel of the Night.
I know I owe you a great debt for the mistake I made a year ago. And a greater debt for the education I received tonight. If the text wasn't new to me, it was at least worth revisiting.
All I know is I'm about to be wiped out!
It doesn't have to be that way. I can break these chains. [breaks his restraints] But only you can get me past the bars. I helped destroy Fortress I, let me help you save Fortress II.
Well it seems Mr. Vogel's betrayal has only provided further proof that the human species is devoid of integrity.
I disagree. If anything, Vogel's sabotage demonstrates the folly of placing all of one's trust in single-minded automatons. Automatons know nothing of betrayal or honor. They know only what they're programmed to know. Only living beings possess the ability to change, and make new choices. Ultimately, Vogel chose honor.
[smiles] Huh... I suppose he did at that. You've given me much to consider. But one thing I'm certain of: your debt to me is paid in full, a ship for a ship, we are even.
No... We are friends.
Yes... Friends.
Mr. Renard, please! I'd rather not have your death on my conscience, but I cannot allow this ship to collide with a tower full of people. You'll never reach the bridge! But turn left and you'll find my escape pod still waiting. You have two minutes until impact, one minute before I detonate.
Mr. Vogel, I don't want any innocents hurt! If I can't turn this boat around, you have my permission to destroy it. But you and I built this ship together. If it goes down, I'm going down with it.
