Cloud Fathers (1996)

Michael Horse: Peter Maza, Carlos Maza

Quotes 

• Young Peter Maza : It's not about you!

  Carlos Maza : No! It's about my *only* son turning his back on his heritage to live with the Washechu!

  Young Peter Maza : Pop. It's 1960, not 1860. You're living in the past. I'm planning for the future.

  Carlos Maza : Peter...

  Young Peter Maza : Sorry Pop. I'll send you a postcard from New York.

• Elisa Maza : Beth? DAD?

  Beth Maza : SIS!

  Peter Maza : Elisa. Where did you come from?

  Elisa Maza : The deep end.

• Peter Maza : I'm not real happy with this plan. I'm sworn to uphold the law, not help break it.

  Elisa Maza : Look at it this way, Dad. The Gargoyles don't legally exist, so legally, no one's trespassing.

  Peter Maza : I know better to argue with you when you've set your mind to something.

  Elisa Maza : I take after my old man.

• Beth Maza : Elisa, look at him.

  Elisa Maza : I know. It's amazing.

  Peter Maza : What?

  Elisa Maza : Dad, doesn't he remind you of someone you know?

  Peter Maza : Yeah! All the punks I've busted on the street in the last 20 years!

• Coyote Trickster : Why shouldn't I help Xanatos? Who cares if he wants to destroy the soil carving dedicated to the Kichina Coyote? It's just old Indian stuff.

  Beth Maza : That's desecration! Coyote the Trickster is one of the most important figures in Native American Legend. His soil carving would be sacred!

  Peter Maza : Well the carving would have anthropological value at least. We should inform the Tribal Police.

  Coyote Trickster : Hey Pops, it's 1996, not 1896. Get with the program. Xanatos is bringing real jobs to the tribe and *real* money. If you close down his operation, you're living in the past. Me? I'm planning for the future.

• Peter Maza : Beings like Coyote do not exist!

  Elisa Maza : [Pointing to the gargoyles]  Are these guys figments of your imagination?

• Peter Maza : I really don't know why I put this on.

  Coyote Trickster : Sure you do. You just have to admit it. You and I are connected Peter Maza. We have been since you took up my mask at the night dance so many years ago. When you left you took a part of me with you. I had to get you back.

• Peter Maza : Hi Pop. We sure did fight a lot, didn't we? I guess it was hard to admit that you might be right, even harder after you were gone. That would have meant admitting that I wasted all those years we were apart, years we could have shared. It's too late to say I'm sorry, I only wish there was some way to let you know how much I've always loved and respected you.

  Elisa Maza : I think he knows, Dad. I think he knows.
