Salli Richardson-Whitfield: Elisa Maza

Quotes 

• Hudson : Must you humans name everything? Nothing's real to you 'til you've named it, given it limits.

  Elisa Maza : 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 Maza : The river's called the Hudson.

  Hudson : Fine, lass. Then I will be the Hudson as well.

• Elisa Maza : [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.

• Elisa Maza : [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 Maza : Lighten up, will you. You're starting to bring me down and I'm a cop.

• David Xanatos : The truth is that my men repelled an invasion by a rival corporation trying to steal some of our new technology.

  Elisa Maza : "Repelled an invasion"? You're a private citizen, Xanatos. Not a country.

• Goliath : [after rescuing two-would be victims from a gang, the couple runs from Goliath]  Human gratitude?

  Elisa Maza : I guess... You know Goliath, you could be the *best* thing to happen to the city in a long time.

• Goliath : I see no walls to guard this city. How do you protect it from invaders?

  Elisa Maza : Well our biggest worries aren't from outside, they're from inside.

  Goliath : *That* I'm all *too* familiar with.

• Elisa Maza : Who... what are you?

  Goliath : My kind have no names, but you humans call me Goliath.

  Elisa Maza : Your kind? You mean there's more than one of you?

  Goliath : [deep breath]  Barely.
