Stiles quotes from Teen Wolf

Cora

Why do you care?

Stiles

Why do I care? Let's see: because, over the last few weeks, my best friend's tried to kill himself; his boss nearly got ritually sacrificed; a girl that I've known since I was three was ritually sacrificed; Boyd was killed by Alphas... I-- Do you want me to keep going? 'Cause I can, alright? For, like, an hour.

Stiles

Okay, so if Derek was a sophomore back then, how old was he? How old were you? How old are you now?

Peter

Not as young as we could have been, but not as old as you might think.

Stiles

Wow, that was frustratingly vague. [He turns to Cora] How old are you?

Cora

I'm seventeen.

Stiles

See? That's an answer. That's how we answer people.

Cora

Well, seventeen how you'd measure in years...

Stiles

Alright, I'm just gonna drop it.

Lydia

It's the same thing-- same thing as the pool. I got in the car, heading somewhere totally different, and ended up here. And, you told me to call you if there's a dead body...

Stiles

[stunned] You found a dead body?!

Lydia

Not yet.

Stiles

[exasperatedly] "Not yet?" What do you mean, "Not yet?" Lydia, you're supposed to call us after you find the dead body.

Lydia

Oh no, I'm not doing that again. You find the dead body from now on.

Stiles

How are we supposed to find the dead body? You're always the one finding the dead body.

Scott

Guys, I found the body.

Ethan

In actual wolf packs, Omegas are the scapegoat. The last to eat, the ones who have to take the abuse from the rest of the pack.

Stiles

So, you and your brother were, like, the bitches of the pack?

Ethan

Something like that.

Stiles

Do you realize how suicidally crazy that was? What were you thinking, going after them?

Cora

I did it for Boyd! None of you were doing anything.

Scott

[sadly] We're trying.

Cora

And you're failing. You're just a bunch of stupid teenagers running around, thinking you can stop people from getting killed. But all you do is show up late. All you really do is find the bodies.

So... Scott and Derek are... werewolves?

Stiles

[relieved] Yes!

And... Kate Argent was a werewolf?

Stiles

Hunter. Purple is "hunter." [He holds up the purple sticky notepad]

Cora

[hesitantly] ...Along with Allison and her father.

[skeptically] Yeah. And, my friend Deaton, the veterinarian, is a-- [He consults his papers] --Kanima?

Stiles

No, no, no, he's a Druid. Well, we think.

So, who's the Kanima?

Stiles

Jackson.

[confused] No, Jackson's a werewolf...

Stiles

Jackson was a Kanima first, then Peter and Derek killed him, and he came back to life as a werewolf, and now he's in London... [He shakes head in frustration]

Stiles

You saw something that you can't explain.

Stiles, I have seen a lot of things I can't explain in this town. That doesn't make 'em supernatural, and it doesn't make 'em real. They just found another body. That's real, and that's the lead I'm following.

Stiles

Yeah, and another teacher's going to die if you don't start listening to me--

--I am listening! I have been listening!

Stiles

...You just don't believe. Mom would have believed me.

A Stilinski at the center of this whole mess. What a shocker. Think you can answer some questions without the usual level of sarcasm?

Stiles

If you ask the questions without the usual level of stupid.

What about Lydia?

Chris

[confused] Lydia? What can she do?

Stiles

Uh, Lydia's got sort of a talent. She somehow ended up finding a couple of the bodies... um, without actually looking for them.

Chris

What is she, psychic?

Stiles

She's... something.

Stiles

So, you're asking me to tell you what I wouldn't not tell you?

First, I have no idea what you just said. Second, how about you just help me help you?

Stiles

Well I don't know how to help you help me tell you something that would help you if I don't know it.

Essentially, you, Allison, and Stiles need to be surrogate sacrifices for your parents.

Scott

We die for them?

Stiles

But, he can bring us back. [to Deaton] You can... you can bring us back, right?

You remember the part where I said it was dangerous? If it goes right, the three of you will be dead for a few seconds. But, there's something else you need to think about. This is a dangerous thing for more reasons than one. You'll be giving power back to the Nemeton, a place that hasn't had power for a long time. This kind of power is like a magnet-- it attracts the supernatural, the kind of things that a family like the Argents can fill the pages with a bestiary with. It will draw them here, like a beacon. [...] It'll also have an effect on the three of you. You won't be able to see it, but you'll feel it. Every day, for the rest of your lives. It'll be a kind of darkness around your heart. And permanent, like a scar.

Stiles

Do you think you can come get us?

Scott

Yeah, of course.

Stiles

Uh, bring a ladder.

Stiles

Have you ever had a dream where you feel like you're about to wake up, but you can't move or talk? It happens because during REM sleep, your body is basically paralyzed. It's called muscle atonia. That way, if you start dreaming about running, you don't actually start running in your bed.

Scott

That makes sense.

Stiles

But sometimes, your mind can wake up before your body does. So, for this split second, you're actually aware that your body is paralyzed.

Scott

And that's the terrifying part?

Stiles

It turns your dream into a nightmare. You can feel like you're falling, like you're being strangled, or, in my case, like you're in the center of a grove of magical trees where human sacrifices took place.

Stiles

[reads aloud] "Strange sighting of bipedal lizard-man sprinting across freeway."

[sighs] Kanima pile.

Scott

Okay, so what happens to a person who has a near-death experience and comes out of it seeing things?

Stiles

And is unable to tell what's real or not?

And is being haunted by demonic visions of dead relatives?

Isaac

They're all locked up because they're insane.

Stiles

Ha, ha. Can you at least try to be helpful?

Isaac

For half my childhood, I was locked in a freezer. So, being helpful is kind of a new thing for me.
