Jonathan Frakes: David Xanatos, Coyote 4.0

Quotes 

• Coyote 4.0 : You are aware the Mazas had nothing to do with the vandalism.

  David Xanatos : Of course. But when the silent alarm brought the Tribal Police, I needed some excuse to get rid of them. Here's the *real* vandal and our target.

  [Indicates image on screen] 

  David Xanatos : When the time comes, don't miss.

  Coyote 4.0 : Don't worry, I won't.

• Coyote 4.0 : Gargoyles! Not who I was expecting, but you'll do.

  Angela : Coyote!

  Coyote 4.0 : Coyote 4.0, the new *improved* model!

• Angela : [checking on Goliath after he gets knocked down]  Are you all right?

  Goliath : Not yet.

  [Goliath and Angela charge at Coyote 4.0] 

  Coyote 4.0 : Once more with feeling.

  [fires a blast at them] 

  Coyote 4.0 : Don't quit your day job.

• David Xanatos : Long time no see Goliath. I'm flattered you showed up just so I could use you as bait.

  Coyote 4.0 : This trough is filled with acid. In ten minutes, it's going to do a rather 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?

• David Xanatos : [regarding Angela]  She's quite lovely Goliath. You must be very proud.

  Goliath : Let her go! She's done nothing to you.

  David Xanatos : Actually neither of you has done anything that I hold a grudge over. Truth is I have no desire to kill you. But the death trap has to be real. I have to be prepared to follow through if I hope to bag my true quarry. For weeks, I've pretended to be on the verge of destroying the soil carving. But until I made up my mind to bulldoze it last night, I didn't get a nibble. My prey seems to know when I'm sincere.

• Coyote Trickster : How are you doing this? No machine can hold me!

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

  Coyote Trickster : I should sue you for trademark infringement!

• Goliath : We're here for Coyote!

  Coyote 4.0 : Right here!

  Goliath : The *other* one!

  Coyote 4.0 : *Also* right here!

  [indicates his chest. Coyote Trickster bangs from inside Coyote 4.0] 

  Coyote Trickster : Let me out!

• Coyote 4.0 : I should warn you, I'm programmed for vengeance!

  Coyote Trickster : Prove it!

• David Xanatos : Goliath. I must say these last minute upsets you keep handing me are becoming... irritating!

  [Flies off]
