Quotes 

  • Hudson : About time you came back. Why did you kidnap me? What do you want of me?

    David Xanatos : Nothing much, Hudson, just your skin.

    Hudson : [holding his sword]  You'll have the devil's own task getting it.

    David Xanatos : Really?

    [presses a button collects some stone from the bottom of Hudson's cage] 

    David Xanatos : See it wasn't as hard as you made it sound.

  • David Xanatos : The Cauldron of Life. The legend says whoever bathes in it will live as long as the mountain stones.

    Hudson : Ah you wish to be... immortal.

    David Xanatos : Of course, what good are all the riches on Earth, if Fox and I can't enjoy them forever?

  • Hudson : These ancient talismens are often dangerous, Xanatos. I would've thought your experience with the Eye of Odin would've taught you that.

    David Xanatos : You could be right. Maybe it would be a good idea to test the brew first. Any volunteers?

  • David Xanatos : If the procedure is successful, I'll release you.

    Hudson : And if it isn't?

    David Xanatos : Then you'll have the privilege of giving your life for science.

    Hudson : My clan will never rest until they know where I am!

    David Xanatos : But they already know where you are.

    [holds up a model of Hudson] 

    David Xanatos : This is just a sculpture's model. The real thing is life sized, and life like.

  • Hudson : Geting old terrifies you, doesn't it?

    David Xanatos : Nothing terrifies me. Because nothing is beyond my ability to change. What about you? Still sitting in front of a television set. You're of little use to your clan. You may as well be of some use to me.

    Hudson : Open this cage, and I'll show you how useless I am.

  • David Xanatos : Better watch out Owen. This MacBeth may be gunning for your job. He's already died for me once on this project. It's hard to top that.

  • Hudson : Listen to me Xanatos. What you seek demands a heavy price. I've lived 1100 years, most of my clan is dead and dust. And I'm a stranger in a strange land. Demona and MacBeth are immortal, has it brought them happiness?

    David Xanatos : Save your breath, Hudson. Death and old age have their price as well. And it's too expensive for me.

  • David Xanatos : [as a Steel Clan Robot is about to drop Hudson in teh cauldron]  Relax Hudson. Without your sword, you're helpless.

    Hudson : Swordless, maybe. Helpless? NEVER!

  • David Xanatos : I suppose you'll destroy the cauldron now.

    Hudson : And why would I be doing that? What you choose to do with your life is your own affair... As long as it's got nothing to do with me.

    David Xanatos : You're just full of surprises.

    Hudson : A friendly word of advice. True immortality isn't about living forever, man. It's about what you do with the time you have. When all your scheming's done, what will your legacy be, Xanatos?

    [Hudson leaves. Owen starts to go after him. Xanatos stops Owen] 

    David Xanatos : No, let him go. He's earned it.

  • David Xanatos : I was close to finding out if the legend was true. Now there's no one to test it on.

    Owen Burnett : Allow me sir.

    [puts his hand in the cauldron, it turns to stone] 

    Owen Burnett : It would appear that the cauldron's spell of immortality has a price.
