Scott quotes from Teen Wolf

Stiles

Alright, so I have four.

Scott

Four? You have four suspects?

Stiles

Yeah, it was originally ten. Well, nine, technically, I guess-- I had Derek on there twice.

Scott

Every time I try to fight back, it just gets worse. People keep getting hurt. People keep getting killed.

Stiles

Scott, listen to me, okay? This isn't you, alright? This is someone inside your head telling you to do this. Okay? Now--

Scott

--What if it isn't? What if it is just me? What if doing this is actually the best thing that I could do for everyone else? It all started that night, the night I got bitten. You remember the way it was before that? You and me, we were-- we were-- we were nothing. We weren't popular. We weren't good at lacrosse. We weren't important. We were no one. Maybe I should just be no one again. No one at all.

Stiles

Scott, just listen to me, okay? You're not no one. Okay? Scott, you're my best friend. Okay? And I need you. Scott, you're my brother. Alright, so... So, if you're gonna do this, then... I think you're just gonna have to take me with you, then. Alright?

Ethan

I'm not going to hurt him.

Scott

Why should I believe you?

Ethan

Because we knew one of them would be important to you, and now we know it's Lydia.

Melissa

Boys! What do you think you're doing?

Isaac

Uh, we were watching over you!

Scott

We wanted to make sure you weren't the third sacrifice!

Melissa

...But both of you were asleep.

Scott

[to Isaac] You were on watch last!

Isaac

What are you talking about? You were on watch last!

Scott

No, you were on watch last.

Isaac

[looks at Melissa sheepishly] I might have been on watch last.

Melissa

My heroes!

Your eyes, they were red! Bright red!

Scott

How is that possible?

It's rare, something that doesn't happen within a hundred years. But, every once in a while, a beta can become an alpha without having to steal or take their power. They call it a True Alpha. It's one that rises purely on the strength of character, virtue, by sheer force of will.

Scott

You knew this would happen.

I believed. From the moment I knew you were bitten. I believed

Scott

You weren't the only one

No (Pause as Scott looks on) Deaucalion isn't here for Derek. He's after you.

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.

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.

Scott

I'm not an Alpha.

Marin Morrell

But you're well on your way, aren't you?

Scott

Then what is he waiting for? What does he want me to do?

Morrell

He wants to make a killer out of you. That's what he does.

Scott

But, if I kill someone, I can't be a True Alpha, right?

Morrell

Exactly. You want the psychologist's perspective? He's an obsessive who both desires you and is threatened by you. If the obsessive can't have the object of his desire, he'll choose to destroy it instead. You'll either willingly become part of his pack, or he'll make a killer out of you, destroying your potential to be a True Alpha.

Scott

I thought you were going home.

Lydia

I can't. I don't know why I'm the one that keeps finding the bodies. But maybe, if I stopped trying to fight it, I'd find them before it happens. Maybe with enough time for someone like you to do something about it.

Scott

You get me the time, and I'll do something about it. I swear to God I will.

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.

Deucalion

Kill her now and it's over. Become the Alpha you're meant to be. Become a killer.

Scott

They're not dead yet.

Deucalion

Who's going to save them? Your friends?

Scott

My pack.

Derek

My mother told me you were a man of vision once. We're letting you go because we hope you can be that man again.

Scott

But if you're not, then having your eyesight won't matter, because you'll never see us coming.

Jennifer

How did you do that?

Scott

I'm an Alpha now. So, whatever you're doing to cause the storm, make it stop, or I'll kill you myself. I don't care what it does to the color of my eyes.

Deucalion

It won't change the color of mine, so allow me.

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.
