chunk of hair missing from the back of his head]

Percival Graves: [after Credence and his Obscurus has been seemingly killed by President Picquery and other Aurors] Credence. You fools. Do you realize what you've done?
Seraphina Picquery: The Obscurial was killed on my orders, Mr. Graves.
Percival Graves: Yes. And history will surely note that, Madam President. What was done here

tonight was not right.
Seraphina Picquery: He was responsible for the death of a No-Maj. He risked the exposure of our community. He has broken one of our most sacred laws...
Percival Graves: A law that has us scuttling like rats in the gutter. A law that demands that we conceal our true nature. A law that directs those under its dominion to cower in

fear, lest we risk discovery. I ask you, Madam President. I ask all of you... who does this law protect? Us?
[gesturing above to represent the No-Majs]
Percival Graves: Or them? I refuse to bow down any longer.
[attempts to leave]
Seraphina Picquery: Aurors, I'd like you to relieve Mr. Graves of his wand, and escort him back...

[Newt sends out his Swooping Evil, which manages to subdue Graves and hold him hostage]

Grindelwald: [as Picquery approaches him] Do you think you can hold me?
Seraphina Picquery: We'll do our best, Mr. Grindelwald.

Grindelwald: [as he's being escorted out by Aurors; to Newt] Will we die, just a little?

Torquil Travers: Now, it pains me to say it, because-well, I don't like you-but, you are the only wizard who is his equal. I need you to fight him.
