Gerard quotes from Teen Wolf

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.

Gerard

You said you came to Beacon Hills because you felt drawn here. You hid the bodies of the Chimeras. You've got a resistance to fire.

Gerard

We were wondering... Just how flame retardant are you, Deputy?

What the hell are you doing?

Hellhound?

And what if you were wrong? Would you have burned my eye out?

Gerard

[smiles] Yeah.

This guy's your father?

Argent

[shrugs] Wasn't my choice.

Argent

Well, the Beast is not just getting smarter. Imagine it this way: each night, the teenage Chimera--

Lydia

The success?

Argent

[nods] This teenager goes out into the night and transforms. Whether it's a young man or young woman, they become a werewolf. A very large, very powerful werewolf the people of Gévaudan called the Beast. Every night it transforms, it remembers a little more of who it used to be.

Gerard

It yearns for its identity. Its name. Not just the Beast of Gévaudan, but the man.

Argent

The Man of Gévaudan, who wants to live, too. He wants to exist. So, imagine that one night, the teenager goes out and transforms again. But when the Beast transforms back, the Man of Gévaudan stands there instead.

Gerard

Fully realized. Alive once again.

Argent

Lydia, tell him to remember.

Lydia

What?

Gerard

Tell him to remember the moment Parrish died.

Lydia

[to Parrish] When did he die?

When I was born.

[about Marie-Jeanne] Maybe someone should resurrect her.

Lydia

Don't leave--

Gerard

Let him go.

Lydia

Why?

Argent

Because as much as we believe Parrish could take on the Beast... Neither of us think he's our only hope at stopping it.

Lydia

What do you mean?

Argent

We think there's another. You.

Gerard

You should hear the rest of the story.

Lydia

[rolls her eyes] Why should I be listening to you?

Argent

He knows it better than any of us.

Lydia

[sighs] Everything I've read says that the Beast was killed by Jean Chastel.

Gerard

[scoffs] Who told you that? The Internet? If that's your most reliable source of information, then you might as well go.

Gerard

[voiceover] Marie-Jeanne hunted Sebastien for three years until she finally cornered him in 1767.

Sebastien

You think this minor injury will stop me? I'm the famous and feared Beast of Gévaudan! And when I'm done killing, everyone will know. I will have done such horrors that all of history will remember my name!

Marie-Jeanne

No one will remember.

Sebastien

[horrified] Damnatio memoriae? You would have them take my name? Our name?

Sebastien

What? What is this?

Marie-Jeanne

No ordinary steel. Wolfsbane and mountain ash, forged with our blood under the light of a full moon. History might remember you, Sebastien... but only as a Beast.

Lydia

Damnatio memoriae.

Argent

They erased every detail of him. Everything he signed, everything he owned.

Gerard

They burned it all. The name Sebastien Valet has been forgotten for over 150 years, but when it's remembered...

Argent

When the Beast remembers, the teenager inside is forgotten.

Gerard

Gone. Forever.

Lydia

But Marie-Jeanne didn't do it alone. She was never alone. She had help from Henri, the Magistrate, the town... even Marcel. We need Parrish. I'm going to go find him.

Argent

Lydia, he's dangerous. He's still a shapeshifter. And one who's just beginning to understand his power.

Lydia

And I'm not?

Argent

You're not the same. You access the supernatural. It works through you.

Gerard

But it doesn't control you.

Lydia

[scoffs] How would you know? Why do you care? Why are you suddenly on our side?

Gerard

Because it's my name as well. Marie-Jeanne never left Henri after the death of her brother. And their relationship became more than a partnership. They married, and she took his name.

Lydia

Argent...

Gerard

Our name will be remembered as well, Lydia-- for killing the Beast.

Lydia

But I'm not an Argent. And I'm not Allison.

Gerard

Mason?

Argent

Mason Hewitt. He's a sophomore. Liam's best friend.

Gerard

And a mass murderer.

Argent

We're going to need to tell Scott the rest.

Gerard

Not necessarily.

Argent

If there's a way to save him...

Gerard

The pike won't save him. It'll kill him. Mason Hewitt is gone.

Argent

But you still can't tell me where it is. How do we know it's not a steel cup gathering dust in someone's antique collection?

Gerard

Oh, I think it's closer to us than that. We'll find the pike, whatever shape its in.

Gerard

La Bête du Gévaudan! I know your name. Do you remember mine?

Sebastien

[sneers] Argent.

Scott

Who the hell was that?

Gerard

You've seen the Beast of Gévaudan-- that was the Man.

Argent

Sebastien Valet.

Gerard

This is a surprising alliance, Scott. You and Deucalion? How long have you been planning this clever little double cross?

Argent

About as long as he and I have been planning this one.

Gerard

What are you doing?

Argent

I knew when I brought you back, it would never be about saving lives-- only about immortalizing your own.
