Peter quotes from Teen Wolf

Scott

So, what do we do if we find him?

Peter

You're going to have to guide him out somehow. Try to give him back control of his mind, his body.

Lydia

[aggravated] Could you elaborate on the "somehow?" It's not feeling very specific at the moment.

Peter

[shrugs] Improvise!

Scott

What if this is another trick?

Peter

[offended] When are you people going to start trusting me?

Scott

...I meant him. [gestures to Nogitsune/Stiles]

Peter

[awkward] Oh.

Lydia

Why didn't it work?

Peter

[impatiently] Because it's not science, Lydia. It's supernatural. I did my part. Now, give me the name.

Scott

[confused] What name? What are you talking about?

Peter

Lydia, a deal is a deal. Even with me.

Lydia

[whispers] Malia.

Scott

Peter, this is Malia.

Peter

[stunned] Beautiful eyes. Did you get them from your father?

Malia

Mother.

Peter

Interesting. Anyway, I'm sure they've told you a lot about me.

Malia

The homicidal killing spree came up.

Peter

[smirks] Well, we're all works in progress.

Peter

Can't someone in this town stay dead?

Malia

I think they were hoping you would.

Scott

Do you have any idea why Kate would turn Derek into a teenager again?

Peter

[thinks for a moment] What color were his eyes?

Scott

Blue.

Peter

Hmm. After Paige. Which could mean around the time he first met Kate...

Scott

[shocked] Derek and Kate knew each other?

Peter

[smirks] Biblically. That's right, Scott-- you weren't the first wolf to climb into a hunter's bed.

Kate

This is it? You're sure?

Derek

Yeah.

Kate

It doesn't look like much.

Peter

That's 'cause it isn't. Quite the elaborate scheme you have here, Kate. Two countries, Aztec temples, Derek returned to a teenager... One that trusted you. One that loved you. All this complication, just to gain access to our vault. Just to get your hands on that little piece of junk. Turn it over. Go ahead. There's a scrape on the back where it used to say, "Made in China."

Peter

It was never... never about the triskelion. They took it. They took it while I was blind...

Stiles

Took what?

Peter

Bonds. Bearer bonds. And they took them all.

Stiles

Bearer bonds? Hold on, are you saying you got robbed?

Peter

This was a heist. Somebody planned this.

Lydia

How much did they take?

Peter

117...

Stiles

[shocked] Thousand?

Peter

...Million.

Peter

That table's Italian.

Braeden

So are these boots.

Derek

We've learned a better way!

Peter

I'm a creature of habit.

Kate

Stop pitching and just tell me what you want.

Peter

Obviously, we're in a position of mutually-assured destruction.

Kate

[smiles] Oh, I'm not so sure the scales are that balanced. [The berserkers growl behind her, scaring Peter]

Peter

...Probably true. But, I know you want to get the family back together again. The return of the Argents to their glorious power. Am I right? But, you know, you can't go back unless you can exhibit absolute and total control. I can offer control. I can teach you.

Kate

So, you're willing to teach me in order to get what you want. Which is what?

Peter

Obviously, I want my money back.

Kate

Mmm, that's not it. Maybe part of it, but that's not all you want.

Peter

I need the money, yes. But, I'll admit, money only gets you so far. What I want is what I've always wanted... Power.

Malia

You murdered people. Not killed, murdered.

Peter

There were extenuating circumstances.

Malia

Like what? The fire?

Peter

A fire that nearly burned me alive. Six years in a coma. Do you know what it's like for one of us? It's not a pleasant sleep. Imagine it: being trapped in your body, but still being fully cognizant. Unable to do anything other than listen to your own thoughts slowly driving you absolutely and totally insane. Minute-by-minute, day-by-day. Yes, I've done horrible, terrible things. And so have a lot of people. And horrible, terrible things are going to keep happening. Especially when there's a deadpool with your name on it.

Malia

But not yours.

Peter

True. But, I am not the Benefactor. I'm just a guy who's out millions of dollars, a few thousand of which I used trying to help you.

Malia

What could you ever do for me?

Peter

Help you find your mother. I'm pretty interested myself, as the memory was stolen from me by my sister, Talia.

Malia

Okay. What did you find?

Peter

A woman. Might be her. I don't have a name yet, just a particularly interesting alias. She's called the Desert Wolf. Do you know what that means?

Malia

[surprised] Coyote.

She was listening to you.

Peter

She was listening to the ranting and raving of a lunatic. [He realizes he just insulted himself] A former lunatic. I'm much healthier now.

Peter

Lydia's right. We don't want to kill each other.

The only person I'm pointing a gun at is you.

Peter

Then, you better make it a perfect shot, Sheriff, because I don't go down easy.

[cocks gun] I'm willing to bet that a bullet between the eyes doesn't heal real fast, even for your kind.

Lydia

Stop. Please, stop.

Peter

This department's getting more corrupted by the second. What are you gonna charge me with, Sheriff? How are you going to explain this to a judge? "Telepathic girl overhears thoughts of comatose werewolf and decides to enact his plans for retribution?" Hmm. [He clicks his tongue] They're gonna be pointing a gun at your head and asking you to go quietly.

Kate

You look nervous.

Peter

I'm not nervous. I'm rattled. I don't like being rattled.

Kate

But, it's over. The deadpool's done. And, if you need to be reminded, everything else is going exactly your way.

Peter

Not exactly my way.

Kate

[rolls her eyes] Maybe every little piece in your game didn't move just as predicted, but they still moved perfectly into place. [She notices his hesitance] You wanna bail on the plan.

Peter

Of course not. Not when I'm this close. Not when I'm this close to killing Scott McCall.
