[from trailer]
Porpentina Goldstein : You wiped his memory, right? The No-Maj.
Newt Scamander : The what?
Porpentina Goldstein : No magic. The non-wizard!
Newt Scamander : Sorry. We call them Muggles.
-
Percival Graves : You're an interesting man, Mr. Scamander.
Porpentina Goldstein : Mr. Graves...
Percival Graves : [silences her with a finger] You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life...
Newt Scamander : That was an accident.
Percival Graves : ...with a beast. Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. Now... what makes Albus Dumbledore... so fond of you?
-
[Porpentina Goldstein sees Newt Scamander close the case as she walks in]
Porpentina Goldstein : It was open?
Newt Scamander : Just a smidge.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : Mr. Scamander, do you know, anything about the wizarding community in America?
Newt Scamander : I do know a few things, actually. I know that you have rather backwards laws about relations with non-magic people... That you're not meant to befriend them, that you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : And you were just in Equatorial Guinea?
Newt Scamander : And I've just completed a year in the fields. I'm writing a book about magical creatures.
Porpentina Goldstein : Like an extermination guide?
Newt Scamander : No. A guide to help people understand why we should be protecting these creatures instead of killing them.
-
[from trailer]
Porpentina Goldstein : Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America? We don't like things loose.
-
Queenie : [referring to Newt and Jacob] Teenie, you brought men home.
Porpentina Goldstein : Gentlemen, this is my sister. Wanna put something on, Queenie?
Queenie : Oh, sure.
[Queenie has a dress float over and puts it on while Jacob watches]
Queenie : So, who are they?
Porpentina Goldstein : That's Mr. Scamander. He's committed a *serious* infraction of the National Statute of *Secrecy*.
Queenie : He's a criminal?
Porpentina Goldstein : Uh-huh. And that's Mr. Kowalski. He's a No-Maj.
Queenie : A No-Maj?
[whispers]
Queenie : Teen, what are you up to?
Porpentina Goldstein : He's sick. It's a long story. Mr. Scamander has lost something I'm going to help him find.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : [after she and Newt capture a beast] Tell me the truth. Was that everything that came out of the case?
-
Porpentina Goldstein : Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast. We need to catch all your creatures so he can't keep using them as a scapegoat.
Newt Scamander : There's only one still missing. Dougal, my Demiguise.
Porpentina Goldstein : [amused] Dougal?
Newt Scamander : Slight problem is that, um, he's invisible.
Porpentina Goldstein : Invisible?
Newt Scamander : Yes. Most of the time. He does, um...
Porpentina Goldstein : How do you catch something...
Newt Scamander : With immense difficulty.
-
[as a Billywig zips around them]
Porpentina Goldstein : What was that?
Newt Scamander : Uh, moth, I think. Big moth.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : [Newt prepares to wipe Jacob's memory] You can't Obliviate him. We need him as a witness.
Newt Scamander : I'm sorry, you just yelled at me the length of New York for not doing it in the first place.
-
Newt Scamander : You can tell me to mind my business, but I saw something in that death potion back there. I saw you hugging that Second Salem boy.
Porpentina Goldstein : His name's Credence. His mother beats him. She beats all those kids she's adopted, but she seems to hate him the most.
Newt Scamander : And she was the No-Maj you attacked?
Porpentina Goldstein : That's how I lost my job. I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers. They all had to be Obliviated. It was a big scandal.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : Madam President, I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is critical...
[looks around to all the people in the room]
Seraphina Picquery : You better have an excellent excuse for this intrusion, Ms. Goldstein.
Porpentina Goldstein : Yes. I do. Ma'am, yesterday a wizard entered New York with a case, this case, full of magical creatures. And, unfortunately, some have escaped.
Seraphina Picquery : He arrived yesterday?
[Tina nods]
Seraphina Picquery : You've known for twenty-four hours that an unregistered wizard set magical beasts loose in New York, and you see fit to tell us only when a man has been killed?
Porpentina Goldstein : Who's been killed?
Seraphina Picquery : Where is this man?
[Tina sets the case down, unlatches it and then knocks]
-
Jacob Kowalski : Can someone please tell me what this Obscurial... Obscurius thing is? Please?
Porpentina Goldstein : There hasn't been one for centuries.
Newt Scamander : I met one in Sudan three months ago. There used to be more of them, but they still exist. Before wizards went underground when we were still being hunted by Muggles, young wizards and witches sometimes tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution. Instead of learning to harness or control their powers, they developed what was called an Obscurus.
Porpentina Goldstein : It's an unstable, uncontrollable dark force that busts out and attacks. And then vanishes. Obscurials can't survive long, can they?
Newt Scamander : There's no documented case of any Obscurial surviving past the age of ten. The one I met in Africa was eight when she... she was eight when she died.
Jacob Kowalski : [incredulous] What are you telling me here? That Senator Shaw was killed by a... by a kid?
-
Porpentina Goldstein : [about Kowalski] He's hurt! He looks ill.
Newt Scamander : He'll be fine. Murtlap bites aren't serious.
[Jacob groans and doesn't look well]
Newt Scamander : [getting concerned] Yeah, I admit that is a slightly more severe reaction than I've seen. But if it was really serious, he'd have...
Porpentina Goldstein : What?
Newt Scamander : Well, the first symptom would be flames out of his anus.
-
[Newt and Tina say their goodbyes at New York Harbor]
Newt Scamander : Well... it's been...
Porpentina Goldstein : [laughing] Hasn't it?
-
Porpentina Goldstein : [both panting after whirling Scamander into a back alley with her wand] Who are you?
Newt Scamander : I'm sorry.
Porpentina Goldstein : Who are you?
Newt Scamander : Newt Scamander. And you are?
Porpentina Goldstein : What's that thing in your case?
Newt Scamander : That's my niffler... Say, you've got something on your...
[Goldstein recoils as he points to her face]
Porpentina Goldstein : Why in the name of Deliverance Dane did you let that thing loose?
Newt Scamander : I didn't mean to. He's incorrigible. You see, anything shiny, he's all over the place.
Porpentina Goldstein : You didn't mean to?
Newt Scamander : No.
Porpentina Goldstein : You could not have chosen a worse time to let that creature loose. We're in the middle of a situation here... I'm taking you in.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : What are you doing in New York, anyway?
Newt Scamander : I came to buy a birthday present.
Porpentina Goldstein : Couldn't you have done that in London?
Newt Scamander : No, there's only one breeder of Appaloosa Puffskeins in the world, and he lives in New York, so, no.
Porpentina Goldstein : [to a guard outside MACUSA] I got a Section 3-A.
[to Newt]
Porpentina Goldstein : Hey. By the way, we don't allow the breeding of magical creatures in New York. We closed that guy down a year ago.
-
Jacob Kowalski : I'm dreaming, right? I'm tired. I never went to the bank. This all just some big nightmare, right?
Porpentina Goldstein : For the both of us, Mr. Kowalski.
-
Percival Graves : [after Credence and his Obscurus has been seemingly killed by President Picquery and other Aurors] Credence. You fools. Do you realize what you've done?
Seraphina Picquery : The Obscurial was killed on my orders, Mr. Graves.
Percival Graves : Yes. And history will surely note that, Madam President. What was done here tonight was not right.
Seraphina Picquery : He was responsible for the death of a No-Maj. He risked the exposure of our community. He has broken one of our most sacred laws...
Percival Graves : A law that has us scuttling like rats in the gutter. A law that demands that we conceal our true nature. A law that directs those under its dominion to cower in fear, lest we risk discovery. I ask you, Madam President. I ask all of you... who does this law protect? Us?
[gesturing above to represent the No-Majs]
Percival Graves : Or them? I refuse to bow down any longer.
[attempts to leave]
Seraphina Picquery : Aurors, I'd like you to relieve Mr. Graves of his wand, and escort him back...
[a shield goes up in front of Graves, making him unable to leave]
Seraphina Picquery : [Graves uses his magic to disable the shield and block and cast spells at Aurors; though outnumbered, he takes them out one by one]
[Newt sends out his Swooping Evil, which manages to subdue Graves and hold him hostage]
Porpentina Goldstein : Accio!
[Graves's wand comes to her]
Newt Scamander : [points his wand at Graves] Revelio.
[slowly, Graves's face transforms into Gellert Grindelwald's, proving he is actually Grindelwald in disguise]
Grindelwald : [as Picquery approaches him] Do you think you can hold me?
Seraphina Picquery : We'll do our best, Mr. Grindelwald.
Grindelwald : [as he's being escorted out by Aurors; to Newt] Will we die, just a little?
-
[One of Newt's creatures saves Tina from the death cell, then flies around, blocking the pursuing Aurors' spells]
Porpentina Goldstein : [running] What *is* that thing?
Newt Scamander : [also running] Swooping Evil!
Porpentina Goldstein : [laughs] Well, I love it!
-
Seraphina Picquery : I made your position here quite clear, Ms. Goldestein.
Porpentina Goldstein : Yes, Madam President. But I...
Seraphina Picquery : You're no longer an Auror.
Porpentina Goldstein : No, Madam President, but...
Seraphina Picquery : Goldstein.
Porpentina Goldstein : There's been a minor...
Seraphina Picquery : This office is currently concerned with very major incidents. Get out.
Porpentina Goldstein : Yes, ma'am.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : Mercy Lewis, what is that?
Newt Scamander : Nothing to worry about. That is a Murtlap.
Porpentina Goldstein : What else have you got in there?
-
Porpentina Goldstein : I can't believe you didn't Obliviate that man. If there's an inquiry, I'm finished.
Newt Scamander : So, why would you be finished? I'm the one that's...
Porpentina Goldstein : I'm not supposed to go near the Second Salemers.
-
Newt Scamander : So, Ms. Goldstein, I think Mr. Kowalski could do with an early night. Besides, you and I will need to be up early tomorrow morning to find my Niffler, so...
Queenie : What's a Niffler?
Porpentina Goldstein : Don't ask.
-
Mr. Abernathy : Goldstein?
[Tina hides under her desk]
Mr. Abernathy : Where is she? Where is she? Goldstein! Goldstein?
[she comes out]
Mr. Abernathy : Did you just butt in on the investigative team again? Where have you been?
Porpentina Goldstein : What?
Mr. Abernathy : Where'd she pick you up?
Newt Scamander : Me?
Mr. Abernathy : Have you been tracking them Second Salemers again?
Porpentina Goldstein : Of course not, sir.
-
Porpentina Goldstein : [yelps as she's being threatened by the intensifying death potion waves surrounding the suspended chair] Mr. Scamander!
Newt Scamander : D-D-Don't panic.
Porpentina Goldstein : What do you suggest I do instead?
-
Newt Scamander : [having a difficult time saying goodbye at the end] Well... it's been, umm...
Porpentina Goldstein : Hasn't it?
-
Newt Scamander : A quiet life for me from now on. Back to the Ministry, deliver my manuscript.
Porpentina Goldstein : I'll look out for it. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
