Chris Argent quotes from Teen Wolf

Argent

So, I don't suppose you have any idea why Stiles would frame us for murder.

Derek

I didn't think Stiles was smart enough to frame us for murder.

Derek

I could easily get out of these, you know.

Argent

So could I. But I'm not interested in being a fugitive from the law.

Derek

Well, I'm not interested in being a victim to a seventeen-year-old possessed by a psychotic fox.

Argent

Just give me a few more minutes. [Derek continues to rattle his handcuffed wrist] Derek!

Derek

Okay, fine. But, if something happens, don't expect me to risk my life trying to save yours.

Derek

You know, if all of this is true... people are dead because of Stiles.

Argent

But, is it really Stiles? Remember, we've had this problem before.

Derek

But, we got lucky with Jackson. What happens when you don't get lucky?

Argent

I guess it depends on how much or how little of Stiles is left.

Argent

You ever heard of the berserkers?

Derek

Germanic warriors. They wore the skins of bears to channel their ferocity.

Argent

They didn't just wear them. They became them. You know, a couple years ago, a family came to use for help with their son. This group of teenagers, they were doing all sorts of rituals with animal skins. Somehow, they tapped into it. But, with berserkers, the human side doesn't last long. They're not tempered by the moon.

Sorry, but I can't let you walk out with this. It's way above the legal voltage limit.

Argent

[glances at Derek] I only use it for hunting.

Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure you could use it to jump-start a 747.

Argent

That's the problem. We're all trying to out-fox the fox.

[sighs] Listen, I'll understand if anyone backs out.

Derek

[shrugs] I'm not going to be the first wolf to run from a fox.

Argent

Apparently, I'm carrying a lightsaber.

Were you really gonna pull the trigger on Stiles?

Argent

To be honest, I'm not sure.

...I'd check the firing pin.

Argent

[confused] You removed it? [Allison smiles] That's why women are the leaders in our family.

Argent

[frantically] Okay, listen. Listen to me. Whatever's gotten into your head, this isn't the way to deal with it.

Derek

You burn my family, I burn yours. In fact, I'll burn the whole building down around you.

Argent

That was Kate. You know I had nothing to do with that. I'm not your enemy, Derek. Not anymore.

Derek

Yeah, you are! You, and Allison. Which is why I'm not gonna light this yet. [He holds up a lighter] I'm not! We're going to wait until she gets home, and we're going to let her watch.

Derek

Why shouldn't I kill you? How many of us have you murdered? You're not my ally! You're not my ally. You're a hunter.

Argent

You're right. I am a hunter. Trained before I could even speak, and trained others. Do you know what the first lesson we teach is? We take our children, we bind them in a chair just like this. Then, we wait for them to get out. Most of them, it takes hours. Others? Seconds.

Argent

I don't want to kill you, Derek. Don't make me kill you. Please.

Derek

You had a gun pointed at my head. You could've pulled the trigger. Why didn't you?

Argent

Because you're not my enemy anymore, Derek. And I'm not yours.

Dad, if something happens...

Argent

Hey, hey. You don't need to worry about me.

Well, yeah. I didn't get to say anything to Mom...

Argent

You didn't need to say anything. And I'm going to be around a long time, I promise.

Well, then take it as a reminder. Maybe you don't need to hear it, but I need to know that I said it. I love you. I'm proud of you. I'm... I'm proud of us.

Argent

I appreciate the concern, but you don't have to stay. I'll be alright. I've dealt with this before. I have a capacity and an ability to compartmentalize my emotions.

Isaac

[turns to him, tears in his eyes] I don't.

Argent

[confused] Why would she make four of these?

Isaac

[in realization] She didn't. She made five. She made the first one, and then she figured it out. She used the first arrowhead to kill one of the oni. We saw her do it.

Isaac

[about the oni] What if silver is like a poison to them? What if it needs to stay in the body? What if that's what she was trying to tell you, that she'd figured it out?

Argent

These four would still have been setting when she went off to meet Scott...

Isaac

We could stop them.

Argent

[determined] No. We can kill them.

Scott

[relieved] How did you know?

Argent

I got your text.
