Quotes 

• Taurus's Father : [from a jail cell]  Son, please... have mercy on your poor father!

  Elisa Maza : You put your *own father* in jail?

  Taurus : *That* is *not* my father!

  Proteus : [changes to his true form]  He's right, of course. Something happened to his father... Oh yes, I remember: I murdered him.

• Elisa Maza : You guys better get out of sight. No telling how they'll react to gargoyles.

  [the Gargoyles hide in the bushes] 

  Elisa Maza : Hi there I was just in the neighborhood and...

  Helios : Can it be? It looks like - a *human*!

  Taurus : I *knew* this day was coming!

  Elisa Maza : I don't mean you any harm.

• Elisa Maza : This isn't fair! I haven't done anything.

  Taurus : You are human and you are trespassing on New Olympus.

  Elisa Maza : But...

  Taurus : I don't make the laws. I just *enforce* them.

• Elisa Maza : But it's not fair to blame all humans for something that happened thousands of years ago. Give me a chance!

  Boreas : I believe you are sincere, but I cannot afford to any any chances with my people's safety.

• Boreas : Here is my decision: I do not believe the human has come to harm us. However I cannot allow her to return to the outside world. The temptation to reveal our secret would be too great. You gargoyles may leave New Olympus. But the human shall remain as our guest... permanently.

  Elisa Maza : [gasps]  You've gotta be kidding.

  Boreas : I hope that over time you will come to feel at home here, Elisa Maza.

• Goliath : She did not start this!

  Taurus : I do not care who started it! I know who caused it!

  Elisa Maza : You've got some funny ideas about justice around here.

  Taurus : My job is keeping the peace. And that's *exactly* what I intend to do.

• Taurus : I don't understand. You didn't have to come back here. You could have escaped.

  Elisa Maza : With my friends turned to stone? Besides what kind of cop would I be if I let a slime like Proteus get away.

  Taurus : You are definitely *not* like the humans of legend.

  Elisa Maza : I'll choose to take that as a compliment.

• Elisa Maza : Listen, Proteus has escaped. He's masquerading as my friend Goliath.

  Helios : And you had to attack me to tell me that?

  Elisa Maza : Would you have listened if I'd just called you over?

  Helios : Frankly, no!
