Rocky Carroll: Talon

Quotes 

• Goliath : Return with me to the Clock Tower. Join my clan.

  Talon : You- you would accept us? After how I treated you?

  Goliath : Elisa is already part of our clan, that makes you all family.

  Talon : Thank you, Goliath. But it seems I have my own clan, my own family.

• Elisa Maza : [Talon's attack Goliath]  Derek, please.

  Talon : Stand away from him, Elisa. He's my enemy!

  Maggie Reed : And she's your sister... Are you going to attack her too?

• Talon : Sevarius is dead. Along with our hopes of ever being human again!

  Elisa Maza : Dead? Nobody died that night.

  Talon : I *saw* it!

  Elisa Maza : Where Xanatos is involved, what you see isn't always the truth!

• Talon : Sevarius is lucky he's dead! Watch your back Goliath! She won't always be there, and I'm *coming* for you!

  Maggie Reed : But what if she's right? What if Sevarius *is* alive?

  Talon : If he is, he won't be for long.

• Dr. Anton Sevarius : This is the antidote. There's only enough for one. But I can make more for each of you. All I want in return is my safety and my freedom.

  Talon : I'm long past caring about your antidotes!

  Fang : Me too. I *like* this body.

  Talon : I just want to see you pay for your crimes!

  Maggie Reed : What about what *we* want? Please Derek, is your vengence more important than our humanity?

  Talon : Give it to her.

• Talon : I don't believe it! Goliath wasn't Sevarius's partner, it was *you* all along! I *trusted* you! You turned me into a monster, and I *defended* you!

  David Xanatos : I am sorry things turned out this way. We'd all be happier if you had remained in the dark. But I can't let you damage Anton. He's a bit of a bother, but his mind represents infinite possibilities. He's a scientist, you're just the experiment.

• Dr. Anton Sevarius : [as he's leaving, referring to the "cure" he created]  You know, that *could* be a vial of poison. Of course, there's only one way to find out...

  Maggie Reed : He's just trying to scare us!

  [She tilts the test tube towards her mouth] 

  Talon : Maggie, no!

  Maggie Reed : Don't you see? Sevarius doesn't want his experiment to end, but this is the cure!

  Talon : You don't know that! The risk is too great!

  Maggie Reed : Any risk is better than living as a monster!

  Talon : I'm a monster.

  Maggie Reed : But you're strong, stronger than me.

  [turns away from him] 

  Maggie Reed : I can't live this way!

  Talon : [turns her to face him]  I couldn't either, not without you. Maggie we're not strong alone, we're strong together.

• Elisa Maza : [to her famlly]  Now remember what I told you, no matter how much he's changed on the outside, he's still Derek on the inside.

  Talon : Mom? Dad?
