Top 50 Quotes From Elisa Maza

Matt: He blew up my apartment?
[scoffs]
Matt: Elisa you know as soon as you show him the jewels our lives aren't worth beans.
Elisa: Don't worry, I called for back up. I hope.

Elisa: Shapeshifters, elves, fairies... you mean they're real?
Hudson: As real as I am, if the stories be true.

Elisa: [Watching a robber turn himself in] You know what guys? The city feels safer already.

David: The truth is that my men repelled an invasion by a rival corporation trying to steal some of our new technology.
Elisa: "Repelled an invasion"? You're a private citizen, Xanatos. Not a country.

Elisa: Same time tomorrow night?
Goliath: I wouldn't miss it.
Elisa: Good, maybe we'll catch a Giants game.
Goliath: Giants?
[turns to stone]
Elisa: Hmm. I wonder if this city's ready for you guys.

Goliath: It's nice to know I have at least one human friend in this new world.
Elisa: I hope you have more, lots more. But whether you do or not, I'll always be your friend, Goliath.

Goliath: [as Elisa leaves for work] I'll go with you perhaps I can learn something.
Elisa: [sarcastically] Why not? My car's big. I'm sure my partner won't notice you.

Matt: [as Elisa's running to her car] Yo, Partner!
Elisa: No offense, Matt. But this some I have to handle *alone*.
Matt: No way, not with those stainless steel monsters out there.
Elisa: Look this is one time I don't want a partner.
Matt: Yeah? Well that's usually the time you need one the *most*.
Elisa: Come on. Get in.

Broadway: Elisa, I'm sorry about the bomb. But it proves how dangerous this case is.
Elisa: Too dangerous for an amateur detective playing out a movie fantasy!
Broadway: Matt was no amateur and he worked alone. Where'd it get him? Elisa let me be your partner!

Elisa: Fox, I'm here to find out...
Fox: l know why you're here. David told me you'd come. He created the Pack, you know. Got us together - me, Wolf, Hyena, Jackal, Dingo - put us on the air and made us stars.
Elisa: Then, why are Jackal and Hyena trying to kill him?
Fox: They don't know he's the boss. Only l do. David told me to have them hit the diamond exchange, and then make himself the next target. He set up his own assassination attempt.
Elisa: But why?
Fox: He wants your brother. And what David Xanatos wants, he gets.
Elisa: So why are you telling me all of this?
[chuckles]
Elisa: Because he left you to rot in jail?
Fox: You haven't got a clue. You're so far behind him, it's pathetic. He told me to tell you. He doesn't have to hide his plans from you. There's not a thing you can do to stop him. He's the most brilliant man on the face of the Earth.

Jogger: [of Goliath] I've run this path for five years, I never noticed that statue before.
Elisa: This park's full of surprises.

Elisa: Now calmly. Who *are* you?
Talon: [slight chuckle] Call me "Talon."
Elisa: Okay, "Talon." Why are you stomping on my friend here?
Talon: Your "friend" made me like this.
Elisa: Impossible. Goliath would never intentionally harm anyone. Look, I want to help you.
Talon: Promise?
Elisa: Cross my heart...
Talon: And hope to...
Elisa: DEREK? Derek, is that you?

Elisa: I have to tell you, Mr. Burnett. I'm still surprised at being asked back seeing as how I busted your boss.
Owen: Mr. Xanatos is not the sort to harbor a grudge, Detective Maza. And he wouldn't dream of denying you the opportunity to see your friends.

Goliath: [after everyone's back to normal] Elisa, I...
Elisa: I know. You're relieved as I am that things are back to normal.
Goliath: That's not what I was going to say.
[Elisa puts her hand over his mouth; the sun rises and he turns into a statue]
Elisa: I know. But that's the way it is.

Elisa: [after Hudson leaves] Well looks like it's just you and me. So what do you want to see?
Goliath: The dangers that threaten me and my kind.
Elisa: Lighten up, will you. You're starting to bring me down and I'm a cop.

Elisa: Oh, Derek. I've been wrong about a lot this week. You don't have to be a cop, and you do have to lead your own life.
[pulls out tape recorder and hands it to Derek]
Elisa: But l wasn't wrong about Xanatos, and l wouldn't be a good sister if l didn't give you this. Listen to it or not. It's your decision. It's your life.

Elisa: [to Goliath] I think your head stays rock hard even at night.

Glasses: [to his men] You'll rest when I tell you to rest!
Broadway: [from distance] I know that guy from somewhere.
Elisa: He's called "Glasses." He's Dracon's right hand man.
Broadway: Dracon! I *hate* that guy!
Elisa: He's not one my favorites either.

Elisa: What's going on here?
Travis: Looks like that urban myth about gargoyles just became urban reality.

Elisa: Now it's war, Xanatos! You're going down for this. I promise you! No matter what it takes!

Elisa: Listen Goliath, we haven't know each other very long and I know you don't have any good reason to trust humans...
[he turns away; she touches his face and turns it back]
Elisa: But you've got to trust somebody in this world. And I think you'd be better off with me than with Xanatos...
[He crumples the paper proving Xanatos' betrayal, growling]
Elisa: You won't regret it.

Goliath: I have no more love for Fox than for you. Even if what you say is true, why should I help her?
David: Because you know what it means to lose some you love.
Elisa: Don't even *think* about it, Goliath! Can't you see this *is* his plan D? If it fails he'll move on to E or F.
Goliath: A noble effort, Xanatos. But another failure. Not a good night for you.

Broadway: I did it, Elisa. I figured out where the Falcon was.
Elisa: I knew you would, Broadway. Now it's Matt who needs a hand. I'll be okay. Go!

Hudson: Must you humans name everything? Nothing's real to you 'til you've named it, given it limits.
Elisa: It's not like that. It's just that, well... uh... things need names.
Hudson: Does the sky need a name? Does the river?
Elisa: The river's called the Hudson.
Hudson: Fine, lass. Then I will be the Hudson as well.

Dominic: You have indomitable spirit, Detective Maza. I always admire that in my opponents.
Elisa: Hello, Dominic. I was wondering when you'd show again.
Dominic: I'm impressed. How long have you known?
Elisa: Ever since your grandson's men set a trap to bury me. You were the only one who knew I was going there.
Dominic: My humble apologies. It's just that I've been waiting so long to get these jewels. I tore Mace's nightclub down to find 'em. It was Tony's idea to look under the foundation, for all the good that did. But let's make a fresh start. Hand over the satchel, and no harm will come to you.
Elisa: Your word as a Dracon? I don't think so.
[tosses the satchel]
Dominic: No!

Elisa: No offense, I'm sure you're a great cop. But I don't need a partner. And I don't *want* a partner.
Matt: Hey, I understand. Problem is you have a partner. Me. Guess we just have to make the best of it.
Elisa: [exhales] There must be some kind of conspiracy going on to make my life difficult.
Matt: Wouldn't surprise me.

Brooklyn: What's Demona's game this time?
Goliath: I don't know. But we're going to find out.
Elisa: But I'm okay. You don't have to go! You know it's a trap!
Hudson: If he doesn't go now, Demona will know her plan failed. She'll come after you again.

Elisa: Get back or you'll all be street pizza.

Elisa: [after Goliath turns to stone] That's one way of avoiding a conversation.

Broadway: Elisa, why don't I go with you? *I* can be your partner.
Elisa: I already have one partner to worry about tonight. I don't need another two.
[chuckles]
Elisa: Go back to your movie.

Elisa: [Rushing off] Come on hurry.
Matt: I can tell working with you is going to be good aerobics.

Elisa: [Grabs on to Xanatos as he's about to fly] I trust you as far as I can throw you.
David: I don't have time to argue.
[takes off]

Elisa: What are you reading?
Goliath: Dostoevsky.
Elisa: Who's it by?
[slight giggle]
Elisa: Kidding.

Goliath: But welcome to our home, especially now that Xanatos has been defeated. And this castle is truly *ours* once more!
Elisa: That's what I wanted to talk you about. You know that Xanatos was only convicted of receiving stolen property.
Goliath: Convicted?
Elisa: He was accused of that specific crim and that's what he got sent to prison for. But he only got a six month sentence, and we're lucky it wasn't suspended. His lawyers will probably get that time cut down. The point is, it's not safe here for you guys.
Goliath: What are you saying?
Elisa: I'm saying you have to find a new place to sleep during the day, a new home Goliath.

Elisa: You can't believe anything he says.
Goliath: I know, but that creature is still a danger to my castle, my city. And if Xanatos speaks the truth, if someone like him can love, perhaps there is some hope for this world.

Elisa: Third race?
Broadway: You know. Gargoyles, humans, and Oberon's children.
Lexington: I thought everyone knew this.
Brooklyn: Yeah. That guy Shakespeare wrote a play about them. "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Elisa: You have to quit! He's *using* you!
Derek: It's my life! Butt out!
Goliath: QUIET! Both of you! You don't know how lucky you are to have siblings to fight with! All of my rookery brothers are dead! And there is nothing - NOTHING more important than family.

Elisa: [chuckling as she's walking in the park with Goliath] We're probably the only couple in the park who don't have to worry about muggers.

Goliath: Xanatos tried to force us to reveal our new home. We defeated him. And if we did it once, we can do it again!
Elisa: And we will. Together.

Elisa: Sooner or later you're gonna slip up Tony, and when you do, I'll be there.
Tony: Hey, I told you... I'm not the guy. And if I *was* the guy, you couldn't do anything about it. In fact, if I were to tell one of my associates here to sell off some... merchandise to raise some operating capital, you couldn't do anything about that either. Face it, sugar... you got nothing.

Elisa: Who... what are you?
Goliath: My kind have no names, but you humans call me Goliath.
Elisa: Your kind? You mean there's more than one of you?
Goliath: [deep breath] Barely.

Tony: [after Elisa gets the bag] Maza, you are beautiful.
Elisa: So are your stone, Tony.
Tony: We had a deal. Once I have the gems, I'll let you go. Trust me.
Elisa: *Trust* you?
Tony: Look down, sugar. Do you see any other options here?
Elisa: [Looking down] As a matter of fact, I do.
[jumps]

Goliath: I feared the scrolls would be too great a temptation for...
Elisa: Xanatos! Made me look like an amateur. But I've got no proof. Without it...
Goliath: Without it, it falls to us.

Elisa: Look, just promise you'll call if there's trouble.
Derek: There won't be, but okay. I promise.
Elisa: Cross you heart...
Derek: And hope to die.

Elisa: I'll never get the hang of jumping off rooftops.
Goliath: I'll *always* be there to catch you.
[jumps off roof and hovers]
Goliath: See? It's easy.

Goliath: What are you doing here? Why aren't you guarding our home?
Elisa: You don't live there any more.
Goliath: [getting angry] WHAT?
Elisa: I found you a new home.
Goliath: HOW DARE YOU! I told you that castle IS OUR HOME!
Broadway: NO, Goliath! She's right! It's *suicide* to stay there.
Hudson: Lad, they're right, you know. It's just a place of stone and wood. Home is more than that Goliath. Home is the six of us. Wherever we can be together and safe. *That's* our home

Elisa: [they're buried under rubble] You all right?
Broadway: I've had better nights.
Broadway: I've got a pocket light.
[Coughs]
Broadway: Not much air in here. Tell me those claws of yours can dig us out.
Broadway: I... don't think so.
[turns to stone]
Elisa: Uh oh.

Elisa: Your loyalty is admirable, but he told you to "guard our home."
Hudson: Aye, that he did.
Elisa: Hudson, you and I both know it's not your home any more.

Goliath: You could've been hurt. I should've been with you.
Elisa: But you can't. Any more that I can be here guarding you all day long. Everyone's vulnerable, Goliath. But it helps knowing someone cares.

Elisa: [to Goliath] Come on. I've wanted to stroll down a city street with you for a long time.
