Gargoyles

Gargoyles (1994-1996) was a Disney animated television series.

Goliath's narration during opening credits:

One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled.
It was a 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!

Season 1

Awakening

Tom: I'm Tom. What's your name?

Olive-green gargoyle (Lexington): Except for Goliath, we don't have names.

Tom: How do you tell each other apart?

Olive-green gargoyle (Lexington): We look different.

Tom: But what do you call each other?

Red gargoyle (Brooklyn): "Friend".

---

Goliath: It is the nature of humankind to fear what they do not understand. Their ways are not our ways.

---

David Xanatos: Pay a man enough, and he'll walk barefoot into Hell.

---

Gargoyle elder (Hudson): What exactly does a "detective" do, lass?

Elisa Maza: Well, when somebody does something wrong, I find out who and arrest them.

Goliath: Who says what's wrong?

Elisa Maza: Well, we have a justice system. Laws, penalties, assessments. But the people decide.

Goliath: You mean the humans decide.

---

(Brooklyn, Broadway, and Lexington come out of the rookery and see the destruction of Castle Wyvern. Goliath flies down to them)

Goliath: Were there anymore down in the rookery?

Broadway (sadly): None. Only us.

---

Elisa Maza: A good detective trusts no one.

Goliath: That's one thing we have in common.

Thrill of the Hunt

Lexington: We can't hide from the whole world up here. There are kindred spirits out there for us, but we've gotta look for them, and we've gotta give them a chance, or else we'll always be alone.

---

[As Lexington and Goliath are pursued by the Pack]

Lexington: They're nothing but animals!

Goliath: Worse than that. An animal hunts because it's hungry. These hunters do it for sport.

Lexington: I'm never trusting anyone again!!

Temptation

Demona: Don't be afraid. I just want to talk.

Brooklyn: Uh huh? Yeah, last time we met you just wanted to blow me away with a bazooka.

---

Goliath: Demona? So you did survive.

Demona: I always survive.

Deadly Force

Hudson: Movies, television, video games... these days, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not.

---

Broadway: (taking a gun from a crook) What's this? A new kind of gun? A NEW WAY TO KILL PEOPLE?!

Enter Macbeth

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: Ever read it?

Lexington: No.

Brooklyn: Maybe we should.

---

Macbeth: It's not you I'm after. You're just a pawn. I want your queen.

Goliath: Queen? We have no queen!

Macbeth: No? What about... Demona?

Goliath: You know Demona?

Macbeth: Know her? [chuckles] I named her!

The Edge

Elisa: [finds Goliath reading] What are you reading?

Goliath: Dostoevsky.

Elisa: Yeah? Who's it by?

Goliath: [stares at her]

Elisa: Just kidding.

---

David Xanatos: I have the Eye of Odin back in my private collection and the city owes me a favor for donating it. I successfully tested this prototype battle exo-frame. And the most important thing...

Owen Burnett: Yes?

David Xanatos: I was a little worried that I might be getting soft. But I was able to stand up against Goliath, the greatest warrior alive. I'd say I've still got the edge.

Long Way To Morning

[Goliath is wounded as he and Hudson flee from Demona.]

Goliath: [Weakly] You can't... face her.

Hudson: I can face her. I just can't beat her.

Her Brother's Keeper

[The Gargoyles try to fly a Helicopter.]

Broadway: You sure you can fly this?

Lexington: Hey, it's just like that simulator game back at the tower.

Brooklyn: Famous last words.

---

Broadway: Feel the air currents. Use them, just like you do with your wings.

Brooklyn: Yeah, use the Force, Lex.

Reawakening

[Coldstone awakens, in the style of Frankenstein's monster.]

David Xanatos: IT'S ALIVE, ALIVE! [beat] I've always wanted to say that.

---

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.

Season 2

Leader of the Pack

[Fox reads a book on Sartre while Hyena shoots cockroaches with a catapult.]

Hyena: Why do you read that stuff?

Fox: Because Nietzsche's too butch and Kafka reminds me of your little friends over there.

---

Hyena: I like a man who brings me weapons.

Metamorphosis

[Derek Maza is struck with a dart by Sevarius, but manages to restrain him]

Derek Maza: Go ahead, try something! I'd love to do that again! [inspects the dart] Funny, I don't feel sleepy.

Anton Sevarius: [chuckles cruelly] Fool! That wasn't a tranquilizer dart. It was loaded with a mutagenic formula! The same formula I used on them!

---

[About Sevarius acting through all the events]

Anton Sevarius: I was particularly proud of my death scene.

David Xanatos: Frankly, Sevarius, I thought you overplayed the part.

A Lighthouse in the Sea of Time

Broadway: Why stare at marks on a page when you can rent the video?

Lexington: They aren't marks when you know how to read.

Broadway: Well I can't read and I don't think I'm missing anything.

Brooklyn: Uh huh. Ignorance is bliss. Right, Hudson?

Hudson: Ughh, leave me out of this, it's time for Celebrity Hockey.

---

Jeffrey 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.

The Mirror

Demona: You served 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.

---

Puck: Humans love a battle hearty. So does Puck! Come on, let's party!

---

[Goliath and Elisa talk just before dawn.]

Goliath: Elisa I...

Elisa Maza: Yeah, I know, you're as relieved I am that everything's back to normal.

Goliath: That's not what I was going to say--

[He turns to stone.]

Elisa: I know. But that's the way it is.

Eye of the Beholder

[Goliath and Elisa help Xanatos' fiancee, Fox, while Xanatos himself holds a powerful magic talisman called the Eye of Odin.]

Goliath: Give me the Eye of Odin.

David Xanatos: A trade?

Goliath: Let's just say... I don't trust you with it.

David Xanatos: So, now you know my weakness.

Goliath: Only you would regard love as a weakness.

City of Stone

Part One

Demona: Omnes conspecti, omnes auditi, In nocte usque ad saxum commutate. Dum caelum ardeat! (Latin for "All who see and hear this, turn to stone every night. Until the dark skies burn!")

Part Three

[In a parallel of a scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth, King Duncan and Macbeth, with their sons Canmore and Luach, encounter the Weird Sisters on a moor.]

Phoebe: Double, double, toil and trouble. Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Selene: All hail Duncan, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!

Phoebe:All hail Macbeth, King of Scotland and father of the king hereafter!

Duncan: You speak treason, you old crone!

Macbeth: You are but half right, good mothers. Duncan is the true and proper king.

Luna: King now, he is, but each of you shall in turn be king.

Macbeth: I say ye nay weird sisters. Prince Canmore is destined to be king after Duncan.

Luna:You would lecture us on fate?

---

Goliath: What is Elisa doing here?

Brooklyn: She doesn't look too happy.

David Xanatos: Owen sometimes has that effect on people

Part Four

Macbeth: Revenge is a dish best served cold, Demona, and I have waited nine hundred years for this meal.

---

Goliath: No! Killing her won't solve anything! Death never does.

Luna: He's right, Macbeth. Duncan was afraid that your father would make you king. Did your father's death stop you from becoming king?

Macbeth: No!

Selene: You wanted revenge for your father. Did Gillecomgain's death settle that score?

Macbeth: No.

Phoebe: Did your own death save your son Luach from Canmore?

Macbeth: No...

Goliath: Death is never the answer. Life is.

Macbeth: I'm just so tired...

Phoebe: Then sleep, Macbeth.

High Noon

Elisa: I'm no hero, I just do my job and my job for tonight is over. All I want to do is hit the sack.

Hudson: Why would you want to hit a sack?

Brooklyn: Oh, she means she's tired and wants to sleep.

Hudson: Then why didn't she just say so?

---

Desdemona: Is this right? To do nothing is not the gargoyle way.

Othello: We are no longer gargoyles. We are... shadows.

Weird Sisters: [in the form of Desdemona] Even shadows must be true to their shade.

Vows

[Judge Roebling is performing Xanatos and Fox's wedding ceremony.]

Judge Roebling: We are gathered here today to join David Xanatos and... uh.. what is your real name?

Fox: Fox is my real name. Legally.

---

Goliath: If I didn't fear the damage you would do to the time stream, I'd gladly leave you here.

David Xanatos: But you won't. Because you didn't. Time travel's funny that way.

Double Jeopardy

Lexington: You should've heard him laugh. Made my hair stand on end, if I had any.

---

Goliath: Surely you know I am not in the habit of playing childish pranks or laughing maniacally in the dark.

Hudson: [dryly] Do ye even know how to laugh maniacally?

---

Xanatos: Owen, I think I've created a monster.

Outfoxed

Halcyon Reynard: No excuses, creature. Learn to take responsibility for your own actions. And stop whining!

Goliath: A gargoyle doesn't whine. He roars!

Upgrade

Dingo: What a choice: A robot who thinks he's a human, or a human who's gone to the dogs.

---

Dingo: A sight better than trading in pieces of your own body like used car parts.

Hyena: What's your problem?

Dingo: I'm a partner in a freak show.

The Cage

Anton Sevarius: [working on a cure for the Mutates] I don't know if this will work. I'm not used to working in such primitive conditions.

Goliath: Just keep working... before conditions really do get primitive.

---

[The Mutates debate on whether Sevarius has created a cure or poison.]

Maggie: It is the cure! It has to be!

Anton Sevarius: Of course it's the cure! You must trust me!

David Xanatos: I think that ship has sailed, doctor.

[A laser blast knocks Fang away from Sevarius. Everyone turns to see that Xanatos and some Steel Clan robots have them cornered.]

David Xanatos: You always overplay your hand, Anton.

[Sevarius moves to the safety of behind the Steel Clan.]

Talon: [to Xanatos] I don't believe it. Goliath wasn't Sevarius' partner - it was you all along! I trusted you! You turned me into a monster and I defended you--!

[A laser blast from a Steel Clan robot prevents him from approaching Xanatos.]

David Xanatos: [to Talon] I'm sorry it had to turn out this way. We all would've been more comfortable if you'd remained in the dark, but I can't let you damage Anton. He's a bit of a bother, but his mind contains infinite possibilities. He's the scientist - you're just the experiment.

The Price

Hudson: Tell me something: Why me?

Xanatos: Because you're old, and getting older. I thought you might even appreciate the opportunity.

Hudson: Growing old terrifies you, doesn't it?

Xanatos: Nothing terrifies me - because nothing is beyond my ability to change.

---

Hudson: A friendly word of advice. True immortality isn't about living forever, man: It's about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming's done, what will be your legacy, Xanatos?

Avalon

[The Archmage has brought his past self, the Archmage, to Avalon. The Archmage learns he cannot take the Grimorum onto Avalon.]

Archmage: You mean we went to all that trouble to get the Grimorum, and now I can't even take it with me?! What am I supposed to do? Eat it?

Archmage: You are learning.

---

Selene: We make no pacts with sorcerers.

Archmage: Not even if I can promise you revenge against these mortals?

Phoebe: We are listening.

Archmage: It will take some time.

Luna: What is time to an immortal?

Kingdom

Talon: I told you before: everyone is welcome here in the Labyrinth! And the weak are to be protected, not exploited.

Fang: Aaah, who died and made you king?

---

Lexington: If you don't know anything, why were you shooting at us?

Xanatos: Do I really need an excuse to have a good time in my own home?

Monsters

Anton Sevarius: They say a man's home is his castle, and what fun would a castle be without her dungeon?

Elisa Maza: Sevarius, your idea of fun would give Frankenstein nightmares!

---

Anton Sevarius: If it gets any more saccharine in there, I'm going to put a finger down my throat.

M.I.A.

Goliath: In my experience, human problems become gargoyle problems.

Grief

Coyote 3.0: I'd sure like to know how you got here, but I'm programmed to shoot first and ask questions later.

---

Emir: I demand reparation! My son was cruelly and unfairly taken from me!

Anubis: On the contrary, death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old - all are equal in death. You would not like to see the Jackal God play favourites. Think what you are doing: all over the world there is birth, but no death. Our planet cannot support so many lives at once.

Eye of the Storm

Goliath [feeling around his neck]: The eye. Where is the eye?

Odin: Where it always belonged, gargoyle - with the original owner. I apologize for any trouble I caused in my efforts to reclaim it. It seems I'm out of practice dealing directly with mortals.

Goliath: I owe you an apology as well. It seems I am unaccustomed to dealing with a god.... or being one.

Odin: Then we have all gained rare enlightment this night: the eye's standard gift.

Sentinel

Elisa Maza: That's some story all right. Gargoyle clans, mutated brothers, magic spells. You threw in everything but King Arthur and the Holy Grail.

Goliath: Yes, well, we haven't encountered the Holy Grail... yet.

Cloud Fathers

[Xanatos and Coyote are holding Angela and Goliath prisoner.]

Coyote 4.0: This trough is filled with acid. In about ten minutes its going to do a very nasty job on that soil carving, not to mention your rugged good looks.

David Xanatos: It's my first real stab at clichéd villainy. How am I doing?

---

[Xanatos and Coyote 4.0 capture the Kachina Coyote.]

Kachina Coyote: How are doing this? No machine can hold me!

David Xanatos: This one can. Ever heard of the Cauldron of Life? It was supposed to grant me immortality, but it fell short of my expectations. I couldn't see such a rare find going to waste, though, so I melted it down and used it to reconstruct Coyote. My Coyote. The magic inherent in the iron allows him to hold you. Ironic, isn't it? One Coyote catching another.

Kachina Coyote: I should sue you for trademark infringement.

David Xanatos: Consider him a tribute.

Ill Met by Moonlight

[Goliath, Angela, Bronx and Elisa arrive on Avalon]

Angela: I'm beginning to think this Manhattan we search for is a myth.

---

Titania: In Avalon, Oberon's word is law.

Katharine: Does that mean he's always right?

Titania: Not while he's married.

Future Tense

Goliath: Impossible. Time is like a river, correcting its courses against any change. History cannot be changed.

---

[Xanatos holds up virtual Goliath's disembodied head.]

David Xanatos: Alas, poor Goliath. I knew him well.

Goliath: You will not win!

David Xanatos: What are you going to do? Bite my kneecaps off?

The Gathering

Part One

Oberon: What are you doing here, my love? Have you forgotten the gathering?

Titania (as Anastasia Renard): I am gathering even now.

Oberon: We have discussed this, my dear. It is my law that we do not directly interfere with human affairs. Let the woman keep her child.

Fox: Keep my child? Mother, who is this guy?

Oberon: Mother!? [chuckles] Oh, Titania, what have you been up to?

---

Titania: [about Alexander] Although the blood line has thinned, he has great potential.

Xanatos: With his pedigree, of course he does.

Part Two

Oberon: The humans will awaken in the morning and this will seem naught but a midsummer night's dream.

---

Goliath: I know from experience the transforming power of a child's love. The future is not written yet.

The Reckoning

[As Thailog frees Demona from her cell, she aims one of his laser cannons at Fang]

Fang: [nervous] Hey, Demona... I've always respected you as a fellow inmate... Some of my best friends are half-gargoyle, half-human babes with bad attitudes!

[Demona merely blasts apart the glass containing him]

Demona: [to Thailog] He's a fool, but he may be useful.

Fang: ... I can work with that!

---

Goliath: [to Demona, about the clones] If you consider these poor creatures your Clan, then you've sunk even lower than I imagined.

Thailog: Now, now! That's your friends' genetic make-up you're insulting. Still, you're right. They are a bit primitive. I kept their programming simple: "Obey Thailog." It's all they really need to know.

Possession

Goliath: Puck! I should've known. But why this subterfuge?

Puck: Hey, I live for subterfuge!

Hunter's Moon

[Matt Bluestone discusses conspiracy theories with a reporter.]

Matt Bluestone: Huh, don't believe them. Now UFOs... Do you know that Easter Island statues were modeled after space aliens?

---

Goliath: I do not want escape, I want vengeance!

Demona: Perhaps you can have a little of both.

Goliath: There's no such thing as "a little" vengeance.

Demona: At last, you're thinking like a true Gargoyle.

Season 3 (The Goliath Chronicles)

The Journey

[At the first Quarrymen meeting, John Castaway addresses his audience.]

John Castaway: I know that you are all reasonable people. But you do not live in a reasonable world - violence, racism, injustice, you struggle with the world's problems, and wind up feeling so alone. Now, something alien and horrible has entered your world. [sweeps the veil off of a gargoyle statue] Are you afraid of this monster? Well, for once, you are not alone. [...] Are you afraid these creatures will attack you while you sleep? You are not alone in that fear! Are you afraid they will steal your children away? You are not alone! Do you believe these monsters must be stopped? You are not alone! Join us! Join the Quarrymen! [dons a hood] When you wear our hoods, believe me, you are no longer alone! [...] Take a hood! Take a hammer! You are Quarrymen now! Join us! And I promise, you will never be alone again! [smashes the statue]

Ransom

[After being insulted by a cleaner.]

Lexington: Whose ugly?

Broadway Goes Hollywood

Broadway: Did they even know I was there? If they want to work with me, why were they insulting me so much?

Fox: If I knew that I'd own this town.

---

[Xanatos referring to his wife Fox.]

Xanatos: Devoted wife, mother, one-woman vigilante squad. What a woman.

The Dying of the Light

[Blind Jeffrey Robbins admits that he knows Hudson is a gargoyle.]

Jeffrey Robbins: Hey, it wasn't hard to figure out, Hudson. Late night visits only. Your accent. That smell.

Hudson: What smell?

Jeffrey Robbins: Well, you tell me. Sort of like old leather and concrete. Uh, but in a good way!

Genesis Undone

Thailog: Dear child, the more one takes, the better his chances.

---

[As Thailog lies dying in Goliath's arms.]

Thailog: [smiling, perhaps ironically] How I did enjoy causing you grief...

Gargoyles comic book (SLG Comics)

Clan Building Volume 1

The first two issues are an adaptation of The Journey and will only be for quotes that are exclusive to the comic book version.

Issue 1: Nightwatch

[Goliath responding to being shot at]

Goliath: Gargoyles do not scare easily. But since we are not your enemy, you have nothing to be frightened of either. Do we understand each other?

Art:Uh, yes sir.

Goliath: [Hands a bent gun back to Art] Good. Then you may keep your weapon.

---

[Maria Chavez approaching and talking to Matt from behind]

Chavez: I'm pretty sure that's my chair.

Matt: Captain Chavez. You're back.

Chavez: [Walking on crutches] Yeah, I'm back Detective. What did I miss on the gargoyles front?"

Matt: Multiple false alarms and vandalized stone statues. A lot of people are scared.

Chavez: What about the Xanatos angle?

Matt: Uh, Elisa and I have both been up to the castle. Nothing unusual to report.

Chavez: Where is Detective Maza? [Cuts to Elisa sleeping only to be awoken by Cagney]

Issue 2: The Journey

[Vinnie's response to Goliath's gratitude]

Vinnie: I guess that makes up for any... uh, emotional trauma associated with that unfortunate pie throwing incident from a few months back.

Issue 3: Invitation Only

[Beginning of the issue]

Radio DJ: Happy Halloween! Today's pointless poll tells us New York's most popular costume is a gargoyle. So don't panic! Sure, Manhattan may be infested with real monsters, but it's not like the beasties can talk, right? So if the creature knocking at your door tonight roars "trick or treat, odds are you are safe.

---

[Goliath and Elisa discussing their relationship.]

Elisa: Try to understand...

Goliath: I do understand. You do not want a mate. You want a husband.

Elisa: We have to break up. Move on. See other people.

Goliath: Break up? Other people?

Elisa: I realize your options are limited.

Goliath: LIMITED?!

Elisa: [Refering to Delilah] But you know who I'm talking about.

---

[Castaway talking to a Quarryman over the phone]

John Castaway: I couldn't care less what he wishes. Tell Chaz no hammers! Not tonight! Yes, we do want a strong presence on the streets. But the last thing we need is a Quarryman brought up on assault charges for cloutting a teenager in a gargoyle mask.. Hoods, yes! Hammers, no!

---

[End of the issue refering the Radio DJ's dialogue from the start of the issue.]

Talon: Thailog!

Thailog: Trick or treat!

Issue 4: Masque

[Margot criticising Brendan's choice to dress as a gargoyle for Halloween]

Margot: I told you to come as Valentino, but Brendan Quarters isn't happy, unless he's the biggest cliche of the season.

Brendan: Give it a rest Margot.

Margot: [she points to Broadway who's dressed as the Cowardly Lion, Angela who is dressed as Dorothy and Lexington who's cyborg costume resembles Future Tense Lexington] Now these three know how to give a cliche a fresh twist. [Goes over to Lexington] I especially love this Post-Modern Tin Man.

Lexington: Excuse me? Cyborg.

---

[Judge Roebling spots Goliath and his date Delilah]

Judge Roebling: Goliath! I say Goliath! It's Judge Roebling.

Goliath: Yes, your honor. I remember you.

Judge Roebling: No "your honors" here, Goliath. Tonight, I say, tonight I am Sir Ian of Oxford! Oxford, Mississippi, that is. As for your costume, well... Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. [Looks at Delilah] And this fair creature I believe is Demona.

Delilah: I am Delilah. Demona was one of my genetic sources. The other was Elisa Maza.

[Roebling looks dumbfounded]

---

[Thailog looks around the Labyrinth and asks about Delilah's whereabout]

Thailog: Where's Delilah?

Malibu: Goliath take. To party.

Thailog: [Looks baffled] Goliath and Delilah? On a date? [Laughs maniacally] Wow, haven't had a good maniacal laugh in weeks.

Issue 5: Bash

[Brooklyn comes out in a costume resembling Superman's]

Brooklyn: Have no fear! Supergoyle is here!

---

Quincy Shootin the breeze in my kitchen every night.

---

[The clones make their choice on whether to follow Thailog or return to The Labyrinth]

Thailog: I'm sure we'll all abide by your decision love, because I'm sure you'll make the correct one.

Goliath: [Calls out weakly] Delilah.

Delilah: [Quotes what she heard Goliath saying] "Delilah can mean nothing to me." Isn't that what you said Goliath? You used me.

Thailog: Fresh out of the can and already intuitive. [Faces Elisa] Must be the good genes, eh Detective.

Delilah: You used me as well, Thailog

Thailog: Moi?

Delilah: Only in the Labyrinth have I truly felt free. [Faces the other clones] What say you brothers?

Malibu: Malibu go with Delilah

Hollywood: Hollywood not fight more. Go Labyrinth.

Burbank: Labyrinth good.

Delilah: Then it's settled.

Brentwood: No! Brentwood stay Thailog! Thailog smart.

Thailog: Finally, someone making sense.

Lexington: Dude, you're really making me look bad.

---

[Goliath is being tended to over a wound inflicted by Thailog]

Goliath: [Weakly talks] Elisa... Sunrise is... Hours away...

Elisa: Don't talk like that.

Goliath: You cannot stop me... I will say it... This once... I love you...

Elisa: I love you too. [Elisa and Goliath kiss on the lips]

[Brooklyn smiles for them only to show jealousy over Broadway and Angela, and then notices that Malibu and Delilah seem to care for each other]

Brooklyn: Oh, you gotta be kiddin me...

---

[Thailog is finish a discussion with Sevarius only to be interupted]

Shari: Excuse me, Mr. Thailog. My name is Shari, and I understand you're in need of an executive assisstant.

Sevarius: Young lady, I don't know how you got in here, but you've just made the mistake of your life!

[Thailog growls only to notice an Illuminati pendant hanging from her]

Thailog: [He turns to Brentwood and Sevarius] Leave us. Both of you.

Sevarius: Certainly. Wouldn't want to inhibit you, dear boy.

[Alone both of them give their Illuminati rank number]

Thailog: 36.

Shari: 9.

Shari: Like "Once upon a time"?

Thailog: Exactly.

---

[Sangpo can't understand the language in which Goliath, Angela and Coldstone speak in]

Sangpo: What are they saying Master? I don't understand.

Master Dawa: Listen with your heart Sangpo. If that doesn't work, I'll translate later.

---

[Shari finishes her tale concerning Coldstone and the Avalon World Tour]

Thailog: [Laughs] Avalon sends my father to redeem my uncle, and Goliath failed. Priceless!

Shari: Are you so sure they failed?

Thailog: [Ceases to smile] Why?! What do you know?!

Shari: Only that seeds were sown that night... Seeds which have yet to bear fruit.

Thailog: What seeds?! What fruit?! [Thailog approaches her, only to turn to stone]

Shari: [Is eating an apple] Hmmm... It seems that's a story for another night as well...

Clan Building Volume 2

Issue 8: Rock & Roll

[Arthur and Macbeth explain how they survived through the centuries while drinking coffee owned by Nightstone Unlimited]

Arthur: Mortally wounded in 542. So they shipped me off to some magic hill... And put me to sleep for a thousand, four hundred, fifty-three years.

Macbeth: Sounds lovely.

Arthur: And you?

Macbeth: Deal with a demon in 1040. Officially died in 1057... Been sleep-walking for nine hundred, thirty-nine years.

Arthur: ... Guess I got the better bargain.

Macbeth: Ach, I try not to dwell these days... So here's to the immortals. [Both of them bang their cups against each others] There aren't many like us.

Bad Guys Volume 1

Issue 1: Strangers

[Dingo describing pain that he and Matrix both felt in a recent battle]

Dingo: How come I successfully felt pain when the bad guy clawed through you?

Matrix: For you to control my form as armor, I must link directly to your nervous system... Which interpreted damage as pain.

Dingo: But how?

Matrix: By inserting part of my matrix into your spine.

Dingo: Hold on, partner. I never signed on for that!

Matrix: How else is the link possible?

Dingo: Don't know. Don't care. We'll have no more inserting! Clear?

---

[Robyn Canmore shows up when Dingo and Matrix are talking]

Robyn: Harry Monmouth, A.K.A. Dingo, you're under arrest.

Dingo: Bounty hunter?

Robyn: Just a hunter.

Dingo: Well, your info's outta date, hunter. I'm one of the good guys now.

Robyn: Not in New York. You violated the laws of the United States...

Matrix: [Interupts Robyn] Dingo violated law and order?

Robyn: [Finishes her statement] And there's a prison cell waiting. Surrender for extradition.

Dingo: Sorry no. Matrix, saddle up.

Matrix: You were explicit. We must not link.

Dingo: Really not the time for I told you sos.

Quotes about Gargoyles

Keith David, voice of Goliath: In fact, I have never met anyone who didn't like Gargoyles.

---

Greg Weisman, creator and producer: I believe, in my opinion Lex is gay -- though he may not yet realize it. And that we would be consistent with that knowledge... as I believe we have been up to this point. But that in the current world climate we would not be addressing it on the show at all. Not explicitly or implicitly. It's a damn shame, and since we're talking about episodes that don't exist it would be easy for me to be brave now and pretend that we'd be open about it, but that would be a lie of expectation, and I try to be more honest than that with the fans. All I promised was consistency. It may sound like a subtle distinction, but believe me it is not. It may also sound like a cop-out, and believe me, IT IS. But it's a cop-out that comes out of the fact that if I even attempted an implicit portrayal, it flat out would not get on the air. And I could stand my ground. And I would get fired. And then there'd be no consistency either. Someday, I hope to live in a braver more understanding world... but we ain't there yet. And I think what we're doing is at least a step in the right direction.
