Chris Argent quotes from Teen Wolf

Argent

There's a clearing just north of here. All you have to do is corral him there. The rest is taken care of.

Scott

What are you going to do?

Argent

He's your Beta, Scott. The better question is, what are you going to do?

Scott

[discouraged] He won't listen to me.

Argent

He will if you start using your own words.

Derek

[about Kate] What are you going to do when you find her?

Argent

There's a place I can take her.

Derek

Are you saying you have some kind of werewolf-jail?

Argent

Something like that.

Derek

[about Kate] She won't go quietly.

Argent

I don't expect her to. And, I'll do what's necessary.

Derek

[sighs] What if I asked you not to? [Chris looks at him curiously as Derek's eyes flash gold] She took something from me. At first, I thought it was a part of my past. But then, I started to lose something else-- my sense of smell. [Derek's golden werewolf eyes fade away] I'm losing my power.

Scott

I don't want to keep watching people die.

Argent

I'm not sure you have much choice about that.

Scott

Maybe I do.

That's a lot of burden to carry, Scott.

Scott

I don't care. No one else dies. Everyone on that list, everyone on that deadpool... It doesn't matter if they're wendigos, or werewolves, or whatever. I'm gonna save everyone.

Stiles

That's your assassin speak?

Argent

I said he's dead. What more do you want?

Stiles

It was a little dry. You could have said something, like, "Target has been neutralized." "The crow flies at midnight," that's always cool.

Argent

"Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, the truth." What exactly does that mean?

Satomi

The truth cannot stay hidden.

Argent

I know what the saying means. What does it mean for you?

Satomi

The truth for me is that we-- my kind-- are violent creatures who eventually will not be able to control their violent impulses. The mantra helps us subdue our nature.

Argent

But you're still violent creatures.

Satomi

[gives him a look] Aren't we all?

You know what you need? Adrenaline. There's two ways to get it-- fear, and anger. Since you don't look like a guy who's afraid of anything, you need to get angry. You need to get so angry that your brain lets loose every bit of adrenaline it has left.

Argent

[fading] I'm too tired to be angry.

Okay, I don't know much about you, or what you've been through. But, Lydia told me some of it. And I know about Allison. I know how she felt about Scott. And, I think if she knew what was happening to him, she'd be pretty angry. At least angry enough to try one more time to get the hell out of here. So, whatever trigger you need-- if it's Allison, or your sister, or Peter-- use it. Use it right now!

Kate

You want to kill me, Chris?

Argent

No. But, I don't want to save you anymore, either. I don't know that you're worth saving.

Kate

[hurt] Just like when we were kids. Always trying to make me the bad guy. You can't see them clearly anymore, can you? Scott's not your little hero. None of 'em are! Not when they killed Allison.

Argent

[furious] Allison died. She died saving her friends. Who would you die for, hmmm?

Kate

[angry] You're not gonna kill me. And, you're not gonna catch me. Not you. Not Peter. And not the Calaveras

Argent

There's enough yellow wolfsbane to keep Peter out for the trip back. But be careful.

Scott

You're really going with them?

Argent

I made a deal with the Calaveras weeks ago. They'll leave you alone. All of you. But only if I help them catch Kate.

Kira

What if you can't?

Argent

I'll find her. Someone has to.

Scott

We're gonna be okay.

Malia

Scott, we're gonna die down here.

Scott

[sighs] No, we're not.

Malia

How can you be so sure?

Scott

Because you're not the only one that I called.

Argent

GET DOWN!

Gerard

All this to help Scott?

Argent

You know about the Dread Doctors, don't you?

Gerard

So, they did succeed?

Argent

[annoyed] Tell me what it is.

Gerard

Oh, not what it is. What it was. A monster whose only purpose was to kill. Not for sustenance, not for revenge, not for any rational impulse other than the drive to end life wherever it's found. It also has a rather personal connection to our family.

Argent

[shocked] La Bête.

Gerard

[smirks] The Beast of Gévaudan.

Argent

This isn't going to look like anything we've seen before, is it?

Gerard

Oh, there were a lot of descriptions of the Beast of Gévaudan. Everything from a red-furred giant wolf to a cloven-hoofed panther the size of a horse. But my grandfather gave me a description that was a bit stranger.

Argent

How strange?

Gerard

He said the body was oil black. Solid but shapeless at the same time... Like a shadow pretending to be real.

Argent

How do we stop it?

Gerard

As far as legend goes, the only weapon that proved effective was a simple spear in the hands of a young woman.

Argent

...The Maid of Gévaudan.

Scott

You didn't.

Argent

I had to.

Gerard

[smiles] Hello, Scott.

Gerard

I haven't seen that color on you. It suits you.

Liam

[to Scott] Who's the old guy?

Gerard

[laughs] Uh, at the moment, they would call me a necessary evil. But you can call me Gerard.

Scott

[to Argent] What were you thinking?

Argent

That we need him.

Gerard

He's right. If you want to catch a werewolf like the Beast of Gévaudan, you're going to need more than one Argent.

Argent

[sighs] He knows all the stories. All the folklore. Everything written, and everything passed down.

Argent

The one on the right is the Beast of Gévaudan.

Scott

Do you know what the other one is?

Gerard

The Hellhound. The guardian of supernatural places. They're both creatures of the night. But you may know them as ordinary creatures during the day. And, most likely, neither of them know what they are.
