Gargoyles (TV Series)

For It May Come True (1996)

Keith David: Goliath

Quotes 

• Goliath : Unfulfilled yearnings live within the most contented soul. What might have been, what might one day be if only things were different. So when life's struggles weigh heavily, there is a temptation to only see the happiness of the other life, but this is folly. For each life contains its own burdens, though they may be hidden to all, but one carries them.

• Hudson : Castaway again?

  Goliath : Yes. Yes. And it is as we suspected. He's building an army whose sole purpose is to destroy us.

  Brooklyn : Yep, typical night in the life of a gargoyle.

• Goliath : Night after night we risk our lives for creatures who will never accept us. The world has changed. We shall never be part of the community we protect. Has nothing we have done been of use? Would anyone notice if we were to stop? I have begun to wonder.

• Goliath : There was a moment, when I held Elisa in my arms, that I felt the simple joy, of belonging. But it wasn't real. Make me the gargoyle that I am!

• David Xanatos : Sorry to cut short your reunion, but frankly, I'm getting bored!

  [Helicopters appear and they capture the Gargoyles] 

  Goliath : Are you *insane*?

  David Xanatos : Funny question, coming from a file clerk who thinks he's a gargoyle!

  Goliath : The Xanatos I knew had given up such cruelty

  David Xanatos : Foolish man.

• Hudson : Go home to your family, human.

  Goliath : But you *are* my family!

  Hudson : I said let me go!

• Goliath : I am not quite feeling like myself.

  Elisa Maza : I told you not to eat that pizza last night. Gives you nightmares. James! Kim! School bus is here!

  Kim : Hi, Daddy. Bye, Daddy.

  James : [Goliath spits up his drink]  Bye, Mom.

  Elisa Maza : Remember, I want you home by 5.

  Goliath : "Daddy"? We have children?

• Goliath : Gargoyles are not just statues perched on old castles. Some are *real*. Some are alive!

  Elisa Maza : That - That's crazy!

  Goliath : No, this is crazy! Me, here with you! Those children, this face...

  [runs outside] 

• Elisa Maza : Honey, those things are a menace. When they show up people get hurt. People *die*! And you want to *be* one of them?

  Goliath : Elisa. I *am* one of them.

  Elisa Maza : WHY? Why must you indulge this obsession? Don't you care about me? About the children? I thought we were everything you ever wanted.

  Goliath : I...

  Elisa Maza : You keep this up, you're going to lose it all.

• Goliath : Yes, I *was* accepted. Loved. No longer an outsider. Only...

  Titania : You were not at peace. And there were other, unforeseen affects of your change. If you had never been a gargoyle, Xanatos might never have reformed. Elisa might have become a gargoyle-hunter, instead of an ally, and a true friend. Indeed, if you were to deny your gargoyle nature, you might lose all you hold dear. Or not. It it is only one possibility.

• Hudson : Well, you seem like your old self.

  Goliath : And who else would I be?... Never mind. Let's go home.

• Elisa Maza : [driving off]  Love you.

  Goliath : ...I love you, too.
