Gargoyles
1994
David Xanatos: So now you know my weakness. Goliath: Only you would regard love as a weakness.
Hudson: A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air.
Goliath: One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was an time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of Gargoyles. Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are Gargoyles!
Demona: You don't know the depths to which humanity can sink, my young friend. But I do. Over the centuries I've seen horrors that would blast your soul! Come let me show you what mankind is really like.
Goliath: Time is like a river, correcting its course against any change. History cannot be altered.
Puck: Fearsome creature who would stay / Unchanged by the light of day / Remain you thus throughout the night / And be thou flesh by dawn's fair light.
Puck: Was it a dream or a prophecy?
Elisa Maza: Get back or you'll all be street pizza.
Anubis: Death is always pointless, that is the point.
Puck: Ooh, you really hurt him with that one. Do it again.
Elisa Maza: When you work with handcuffs as long as I have, you pick up a few tricks.
Elisa Maza: Don't be smug Bronx! Goliath: He should be, he's got a right to be proud.
David Xanatos: Pay a man enough... and he'll walk barefoot into Hell.
Angela: Oh, and another thing- Stop calling me ANGIE! Brooklyn: You got it! Broadway: No problem! Lexington: 'Angela', it is!
Demona: I have a name too, Goliath. The humans gave it to me centuries ago. You should know it before you die. I am Demona!
Broadway: What's this? A new kind of gun? A new way to kill people?
Broadway: (to Angela) I'm Broadway. This is Lexington and Brooklyn. And these are for you. (hands her a box of candy) Brooklyn: Well, uh... at least what's left of them.
Lexington: Hey! What happened to the motorcycle? Brooklyn: Um... it... blew up. Lexington: Oh. WHAT?
Goliath: I've been denied everything... EVEN MY REVENGE!
Brooklyn: If they think we're beasts and monsters. Lexington: Then perhaps we better live up to the name.
Goliath: All of my kind are dead... and now... you two will join them!
Angela: We're not demons we're gargoyles and it's time you learned to RESPECT that name.
Goliath: They did this to her... those masked hunters... on my daughter's life, I swear I will hunt them down... and I will kill them.
Hudson: Movies, television, video games... these days it's hard to tell what's real and what's not.
Elisa Maza: Sooner or later you're gonna slip up Tony, and when you do, I'll be there. Tony Dracon: Hey, I told you... I'm not the guy. And if I *was* the guy, you couldn't do anything about it. In fact, if I were to tell one of my associates here to sell off some... merchandise to raise some operating capital, you couldn't do anything about that either. Face it, sugar... you got nothing.
(to his newborn child) Duncan: There will always be a hunter, my son... and there will always be the hunted.
(after the gargoyles stop a subway robbery) Man: Stay away, please, stay back... Woman: Don't come near me... (swoons) Brooklyn: We've still got a little P.R. problem...
Matt Bluestone: Had a little help on this operation, huh? Elisa Maza: Just some concerned citizens... with wings.
Brooklyn: Defenders of the night, stopping evil stone cold.
(as the sun rises) Angela: This is a good life. Broadway: Yeah. Just one thing would make it perfect. Lexington: Breakfast? Broadway: How did you know? (Gargoyles turn to stone)
Jason Conover: I've heard a lot of wild things about New York, like alligators in the sewers. Elisa Maza: I could tell you stories. Jason Conover: I'm all ears.
Elisa Maza: Later guys... I got a date with a pillow.
Jon Carter: The pictures I've seen of this castle had gargoyles on the parapets. David Xanatos: True. They didn't suit my tastes, so I had them destroyed. Jon Carter: Really? An art fancier like yourself? David Xanatos: If you brought them in front of me now, I'd happily pulverize them on the spot.
Angela: Do you think the thieves will really try to rob this place again? Hudson: Thieves always return to the scene of the crime, lass. I learned that from the television. Angela: I thought you said I wasn't supposed to believe everything I saw on television...
Hunter: This isn't over, Demon! My family has hunted you for over five hundred years! If I fail, then my son will take up the hunt, and his son in turn! Even if it takes another 500 years, the hunt won't end until the last gargoyle dies!
Elisa Maza: Shapeshifters, elves, fairies... you mean they're real? Hudson: As real as I am, if the stories be true.
Demona: You serve the human, now you can serve me. Puck: Serving humans is fun, they have a sense of humor. You have none. Demona: Perhaps not, Puck, but I have you.
Demona: I want you to get rid of the humans. ALL of them. Puck: Does this look like Aladdin's lamp? I have limits, after all.
Puck: Did you say THAT human, or that HUMAN?
Brooklyn: Cool! Goliath: What? Broadway: It's a new word we learned last night. Lexington: It indicates a positive response.
David Xanatos: Without you and your friends who knows what those thugs would've done. Goliath: Someone I once trusted said the same thing to me. And then destroyed my people.
Brooklyn: Who is this Macbeth, anyway? Lexington: The name sounds familiar. Wait. I remember. Goliath was talking about a play called "Macbeth", by some new writer named Shakespeare.
Brooklyn: Who is this "MacBeth" anyway? Lexington: Uh, the name sounds familliar... Wait, I remember. Goliath was talking about a play called "MacBeth" by some new writer named Shakespeare. Brooklyn: Uh-huh. Ever read it? Lexington: No. Brooklyn: Maybe we should.
Brooklyn: Sorry, wrong floor.
Owen Burnett: Mr MacBeth, Mr Xanatos hired you to fumigate his castle, not destroy it.
Brooklyn: (pokes cage) Ouch. (pokes cage) Ouch. Lexington: How many times are you going to try that? Brooklyn: Until you find a way to get us out of this. (pokes cage) Ouch. (pokes cage) Ouch. Hey, you know, I'm getting tired of this. Lexington: Did you just see how the lights dimmed when you did that? Brooklyn: Oh, sorry no, I was too busy writhing in agony to notice.
Brooklyn: Oh, not good. Not good.
(loud pounding and banging, sounds of a fight) Lexington: Bronx must have found Goliath. Brooklyn: Yeah.
Goliath: You know Demona? MacBeth: Know her? I named her!
David Xanatos: Soon everyone in New York will be hunting gargoyles. Goliath: Because of you! David Xanatos: If you're going to be picky, we won't get anywhere.
Goliath: It is the nature of humans to fear what they do not understand. Their ways are not our ways.
David Xanatos: You've been practicing. This is the first time I've ever lost a match to you. Owen Burnett: Would you rather I pretend to lose? David Xanatos: I'd fire you if you did.
Coldstone: You said that destroying my brother is the only way to survive. Is that all there is for us, mere survival? Demona: Isn't that enough? Goliath: No. Gargoyles protect. It is our nature. Our purpose. To lose that is to be corrupt. Empty. Lifeless.
Elisa Maza: Third race? Broadway: You know. Gargoyles, humans, and Oberon's children. Brooklyn: Yeah. That guy Shakespeare wrote a play about them. "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
Broadway: Why stare at marks on a page when you can rent the video?
Broadway: Feel the air currents. Use them, just like you do with your wings. Brooklyn: Yeah, use the force, Lex
David Xanatos: Marry me. Fox Renard-Xanatos: Are you serious? David Xanatos: We're genetically compatible, highly intelligent, and have the same goals.
Goliath: I don't want to hurt you! Coldstone: You already have!
Jeffery Robbins: The written word is all that stands between memory and oblivion. Without books as our anchors, we are cast adrift, neither teaching nor learning. They are windows on the past, mirrors on the present, and prisms reflecting all possible futures. Books are lighthouses erected in the dark sea of time.
Puck: I have a sunny disposition and I'm always kind to animals.
(after Goliath has destroyed a cache of Xanatos's weapons) Owen Burnett: Mr Xanatos isn't going to like this... Goliath: I'll be happy to discuss the matter with him.
Jason Canmore: Our father spent his *life* hunting the Demon! We vowed to destroy her and her monstrous race, even it takes a hundred years! Robyn Canmore: I'd prefer to get it over with tonight, Jason, if you don't mind!
Shop Owner: Aw, not again! Can't you rob someone else this time? Robber: I'm not robbing you, man... do me a favor. Call the cops so I can turn myself in! Shop Owner: *What*? Why? Robber: 'Cause six monsters just told me to!
Lexington: Boy, the city sure is different when it snows. Brooklyn: Yeah. It's colder.
Lexington: (walking into the TV room) Hey, it's The Pack! Brooklyn: Cool! Hudson: (flipping through the channels) Something's wrong, it's on all the channels again! Broadway: I thought you liked this show, Hudson. Hudson: Aye, I do, but not every night!
David Xanatos: IT'S ALIVE, ALIVE! I've always wanted to say that.
Elisa Maza: I'm gonna hit the sack. (leaves) Hudson: I do not understand. Why would she want to hit a sack? Brooklyn: No, no, it means she's tired and she wants to sleep. Hudson: Then why did she not say so?
Broadway: I'm hungry. Brooklyn: You just ate. Broadway: I know, Chinese food. It was good, too. But the strange thing is, an hour later I was hungry again.
Puck: (preparing for battle) Humans love a battle hearty/So does Puck, come on, let's party!
David Xanatos: The truth is that my men repelled an invasion by a rival corporation trying to steal some of our new technology. Elisa Maza: "Repelled an invasion"? You're a private citizen, Xanatos. Not a country.
Goliath: (Goliath is wounded. He and Hudson are facing Demona. speaks weakly) You ... can't ... face her. Hudson: I can face her. I just can't beat her.
