" This is the third time this month." " Yeah, well." "We live in dangerous times." "(Demona) We should all go with you." "My love, we've been through this." "Where do you go, my brother?" "To track down the Vikings before they attack again." " Will you need help?" " Foolish creatures." "Why are you still here?" "If you wait any longer, you won't have to track the Vikings." "They'll be at our gates again." "Why do we risk ourselves to protect the humans' castle?" "She's right." "Let the Vikings have it." "We can survive anywhere." "A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air." "I would have you at my side, old friend." "I will need your tracking skills." "Stay here and keep guard, my brother." "I will see you soon." "And you, my love, I never lose sight of." "(Broadway) Going to the movies, Hudson." "Wanna come along?" "Thank you, lads, but no." "Why go out in the snow to see something that will be on cable soon enough?" "Besides, someone has to stay here and guard our home." "(laughs)" "Hudson, we live above a police station." "What could happen?" "You know the old saying - a gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle" " ...than breathing the air." " (all) ...than breathing the air." " Yeah, yeah." " We know." "We've heard that one before." "We don't even live in a castle anymore." " Bye, Elisa." " Bye, Elisa." "Do we have time to eat before the show?" "Whew!" "Nasty out there." "So, how you guys surviving this cold?" "Cold does not bother us." " Maybe not." "But something is." " ls it not time for you to go on duty?" "Yeah, guess it's time to do a little of the old "protect and serve."" ""Protect... and serve?"" "The police motto." "It's what I live for." "Protect whom?" "And serve how?" "The people." "The honest citizens." "We protect them and serve them." "And we do the same for each other." "You mean the police." "Your clan." "Right, my clan." "Who will disown me if I don't get to work." "I'll go with you." "Perhaps I can learn something from this." "Sure." "Why not?" "My car's big." "I'm sure my partner won't even notice you." "If this works, it'll be a miracle." "None of your plans have worked." "The Pack, the Steel Clan robots - all have proven useless." "Your stolen spells haven't done any better." "Neither science nor sorcery have defeated Goliath." "Perhaps a combination of the two will be more effective." "The cantrips have been spoken." "The patterns of force are aligned." "Now it is up to your machine, Xanatos." "(growling)" "It's alive." "Alive!" " l've always wanted to say that." " (growling)" "As you said, it's alive." " Can it hear us?" " (moans)" "Do you remember me?" "This is Xanatos, my servant." "What... am I?" "You are cold stone brought to life." "Cold... stone..." "Don't you remember anything?" "I remember..." "the castle." "Goliath, my rookery brother... went to find..." "the Vikings." "Dawn came..." "and then... oblivion." "Your brother abandoned us to the mercy of the humans." "He's been seduced by their beliefs." "It is he who has turned you into this." "(roars) No!" " Come on, Matt, what's up?" " Nothing." "I know the guy who owns this place." "He's been robbed three times this month alone." "He's a tough old bird, born and raised here." "He won't let street scum drive him out." "I just wish we could protect him better." " Coming?" " Go ahead. I've got some thinking to do." "What?" "Afraid your brain'll overheat if you come in out of the cold?" "Goliath?" "State of the art. I don't even have to talk loud." "This thing picks up everything." "Yes, a most amazing device." "I could hear you perfectly." "Why does that man keep his shop open?" "He could be robbed again." "Why does he not leave?" "This is a dying neighborhood, Goliath." "The big markets won't even come here." "If he closes this store, people will have no place to buy food." "That's more important to him than hiding in his own little castle." " His community needs him..." " To survive." "(radio) All units, all units." "Code three to Times Square." "(Elisa) Matt!" " Morgan, what's happening?" " You got me." "Whatever is is, it's big, and it's mad." "(roaring)" " Police!" "Freeze!" " You're under arrest!" "(Elisa gasps)" "(growls)" "(roars)" "(grunts)" "(gasps)" "Goliath, what is that?" "It is an abomination." "Rookery brother?" "You betrayed us." "(grunts)" "What sorcery is this?" " Goliath!" " Come on!" "Before they knock the whole building down!" "I... know you..." "from long ago." " You are my brother." " And you are my betrayer." "(grunts)" "Boy, that surround sound sure is great." "I don't remember any explosions in Bambi." "(explosion)" "Now you will pay for destroying me and our clan." "(groans)" "Put him down, ugly, and I mean now!" " Goliath, what is that thing?" " lt is one of us, or used to be." "More traitors." "You will all pay." "Looks like our boy is having trouble making friends." "Why are you attacking us?" "You betrayed the clan." "Destroyed it." "We were all betrayed." "(Demona) Too true." "You told him these lies." "I lived for my clan!" "And they died for you, smashed to dust by the humans you trusted." "Man, oh, man, th..." " This can't be happening." " There has to be something we can do." "I don't think so, unless you're packing a nuclear weapon." "We have each created our own clans now, Goliath." "You have yours." "And I have mine." "You have no clan." "You don't know the meaning of the word." "Destroy them, Coldstone." "(Xanatos through radio) Let's not be hasty." "I want them alive." "(Demona) Destroy them and we will survive." " Survive?" "Like this?" " Appearances mean nothing." "We are the true gargoyles." "They have been corrupted by the humans." "There has been enough death." "There are so few of us left, my brother." "Goliath, we don't want this on the 1 1 o'clock news." "Xanatos, I'm sure you can communicate via your robots, and I doubt you want to see any more destruction done to your city." "Perhaps we should move to someplace less... fragile." "No!" "We finish this now." "(Xanatos through radio) An excellent suggestion, Goliath." "I propose we reconvene at... I'll be there, Goliath, and I'll bring help." "And it's over?" "Just like that?" "Not hardly." "(TV) This is Travis Marshall, reporting live from Times Square, which seems to have been besieged by monsters." "This shocking footage was shot just seconds ago." "Looks like trouble, boy." "(whimpers)" "But if we go, there will be no one here to guard the tower." "(whines)" "Hey, looks like we beat 'em here." "Argh!" "(groans)" "Remind me to be fashionably late next time." "(grunts)" "Got any spells to save you now?" "(both grunt)" "( Goliath grunts) I... don't want to hurt you." "You already have." "They always fall for that trick." "Uh-oh." "(grunts)" "(suit rattles)" "(helmet squeaks)" "Yargh!" "Xanatos." "(screaming)" "No!" "Goliath!" "(Hudson) A gargoyle can no more stop protecting the castle than breathing the air." "...breathing the air protect..." "Look!" " ls he...?" " He lives." "(coughs)" " He's OK." " (Demona) But you're not." "Thank you so much for saving Goliath." " For me." " (Xanatos) Wait." "( Coldstone) You said that destroying my brother is the only way to survive." "is that all there is for us?" "Mere survival?" " lsn't that enough?" " ( Goliath) No." "Gargoyles protect." "It is our nature, our purpose." "To lose that is to be corrupt, empty..." "lifeless." " And what do you protect?" " Enough of this." " No!" " No!" "At least I can finish you three." "Oh!" "I told you before." "I want them alive." "(growls)" "(snarls)" "(Elisa) Don't move!" " lt's over, Xanatos." " l don't think so." "Oh!" "It took me a while to lose Matt and get Hudson. ls everyone OK?" " What happened to the monster?" " (footsteps)" "He was not a monster." "He was family." "And now he's gone." "I'm sorry." "(sighs)" "Let's go home." "Goliath, you told Coldstone that gargoyles protect." "Like we breathe, boy." "You know that." "But what do we protect?" " The clock tower." " No." "That is merely where we sleep." "This island, Manhattan, this is our castle." "From this day forward we protect all who live here, human and gargoyle alike." "Are you all right?" "is there anything you need?" "Yes." "I need a detective." "Oh, not again." "Can't you rob somebody else this time?" "l-l'm not robbing' you, man." "Do me a favor." " Call the cops so I can turn myself in." " What?" "!" "Why?" "'Cause six monsters just told me to." "You know what, guys?" "The city feels safer already."
