Liam quotes from Teen Wolf

Liam

So, you've done this before, right?

Noshiko

I've seen it done.

Liam

[nervously] Is that just as good?

Noshiko

...No.

Kira

Mom, you're not inspiring confidence!

Noshiko

Good! This is a terrible idea!

Scott

I can't do that. I can't kill them.

Liam

Someone has to.

Scott

Why me?

Liam

Because you're the Alpha.

Scott

I'm not a murderer.

Liam

But you are a predator.

Scott

[struggles to find his words] No. We're predators, but we don't have to... We don't have to...

Liam

There's something different, isn't there?

Scott

I've got more fangs. I noticed it during the quarantine. I don't know why.

Liam

Maybe it's part of being an Alpha. Like you're becoming more of a werewolf.

Scott

Or more of a monster.

Liam

What if it makes you stronger? What if it's like you're growing?

Evolving.

Liam

Not gonna tell me to slow down?

Mason

Actually, I was gonna say, "Keep drinking." I think you should get drunk. And, I mean stumbling down, fall on your ass, passed out with your face in a toilet drunk.

Liam

[laughs] Why?

Mason

Maybe then, when I ask you what's going on, you'll be too drunk to lie. I'm not asking this because I want to know. I'm asking because I want to help.

Liam

I'm not like you.

Scott

[sympathetically] Not yet.

Liam

I don't mean I'm not strong, or I'm never gonna learn how to be in control. I mean everything else. You and your friends try to protect everyone. Have you been doing this the whole time? I mean, how are you still alive?

Scott

[sighs] Not all of us are.

Brett

You okay?

Liam

[bummed] We lost.

Brett

But you're okay, right?

Liam

[confused] Why'd you do that? Why'd you help me?

Brett

Because of Scott. He saved me. He saved all of us. Do you know how lucky you are?

Liam

What do you mean?

Brett

Scott's a True Alpha. That means he didn't get his power because he was born with it. He didn't get it by stealing or killing someone. He earned it. You're not strong because you can lift a lot of weight now. You're strong because you endure. Satomi calls it "strength of character." You're lucky to have him. [He leaves]

Liam

[quietly] Then why isn't he here?

Stiles

Oh, Liam, go home. You're not coming with us.

Liam

Why not?

Stiles

Because it's a full moon, and I don't feel like driving all the way down to Mexico just to have you rip my throat out.

Liam

You can lock me up, right? Chain me down to the backseat or something?

Malia

You tore through the last chains, remember?

Stiles

Yeah, we would have to freeze you in carbonite to get you down there.

Liam

[shrugs] Okay, then where do we get carbonite?

Stiles

[appalled that he hasn't seen Star Wars] Seriously? You haven't seen it either?

Derek

Liam, you with me? We have a mantra that we use. You repeat it, you focus on the words. It's like meditating.

Liam

[struggling] Okay, okay, okay! What are the words?

Derek

Okay, look at the triskelion. See the symbol? I have a tattoo on my back, it's the same thing. Each spiral means something.

Stiles

Alpha, Beta, Omega.

Derek

It represents the idea that we can always rise to one and fall back to another. [...] All you ave to do is say the three words, and with each one, you tell yourself you're getting calmer, more in control.

Liam

[sighs in relief] I can't believe I did it. For a minute there, I thought I was gonna tear the two of you apart.

Stiles

Yeah, that would have made for an awkward ride home. So, thanks.

Liam

[nervously] Then, Stiles said that Scott and Kira were stuck in Mexico, which is why they missed the game. Uh, so we went down to Mexico to drive them back from Mexico, and that's why we all missed practice. [Coach glares at him] ...'Cause... we were all in Mexico.

[to Scott] You took Kira on a date to Mexico?

Scott

[awkwardly] ...It was our first real date?

In Mexico?

Stiles

...They wanted to do something special?

Okay. I believe you.

Liam

[relieved] Really?

Absolutely not. But, I've had experiences south of the border that would knock the genitals off you boys.

Scott

[to Liam] It's not that we don't trust you--

Stiles

[interrupts] --It's that I don't trust you--

Scott

--But after that last full moon...

Liam

[defensively] It was one slip-up!

Stiles

Slip up? A dozen calls to the Sheriff's Department about a "monstrous dog-boy" running around the streets of Beacon Hills-- naked?

Scott

[confused] Why were you naked?

Liam

[exasperated] It was really hot out that night, okay? Let me go!

Scott

Show me your hands.

Liam

[defensively] Okay, so I'm still having trouble...

Scott

[calmly] No. You're still learning. What do you do to stay focused on not changing?

Liam

But it's not working.

Scott

It's working enough. Listen, Derek told me that you were one of the strongest that he'd ever seen at your age. Now, coming from him, that means a lot. It maybe means that things are gonna be harder for you for a while, but it also means something else, doesn't it?

Liam

[confused] That I'm really strong?

Scott

[smiles] Hell yeah.

Mason

This is the one I was telling you about. I got it from a rare book dealer in Germany. Cost me two hundred bucks, but it was totally worth it.

Liam

[nervously] You're still reading about this stuff?

Mason

[scoffs] I was attacked by an armour-plated giant wearing a bear skull! It left an impression. Look. Look!

Mason

Have you ever seen anything like this?

Liam

[lies] Uh, no! Never.

Mason

And then there's this whole section about the Nahual. Have you ever heard of the name Tezcat...

Liam

Tezcatlipoca? [Mason looks at him questioningly, and Liam plays dumb] No. No, never heard of him.

Mason

Look, I'm not saying I believe all of it one-hundred percent, but people around us seem to know things. Like Lydia? She knows things.

Liam

Dude, it's the first day at school. Shouldn't you be thinking about other things, like...

Liam

Like the soccer team?

Mason

[sarcastically] What do you think I'm going to do? Follow them out to the field and watch them practice while I pretend to study?

Liam

It's warm out-- they're probably going to be shirtless.

Mason

...I'll see you in physics.

Stiles

I told you he was up to something!

Liam

We just spent three hours watching this dude play video games in his bedroom. He better be high or covering up mass murder!
