Tina You wiped his memory, right? The No-Maj.
The what?
Tina No magic. The non-wizard!
Oh...yes, sorry. We call them Muggles.

Why in the name of Deliverance Dane did you let that thing loose?!
Scenes with Porpentina "Tina" Goldstein
14 scenes Tina Tina Tina And you were just in Equatorial Guinea?
And I've just completed a year in the fields. I'm writing a book about magical creatures.
Tina Like an extermination guide?
No. A guide to help people understand why we should be protecting these creatures instead of killing them.
Tina [As a Billywig zips around them]
What was that?
Uh, moth, I think. Big moth.
Tina [referring to Newt's suitcase that the creatures escaped from]
It was open?
Just a smidge.
Tina Mercy Lewis, what is that?!
Nothing to worry about... [returns it to his case] That is a murtlap.
Tina [Newt prepares to wipe Jacob's memory]
You can't Obliviate him. We need him as a witness.
Yes, I'm sorry, but you just yelled at me the length of New York for not doing it in the first place.
Tina [about Jacob]
He's hurt! He looks ill.
He'll be fine. Murtlap bites aren't serious. [Jacob groans and doesn't look well] [getting concerned] Yeah, I admit that is a slightly more severe reaction than I've seen. But if it was really serious, he'd have...
Tina What?
Well, the first symptom would be flames out of his anus...
Tina Oh, this is balled up!
Tina Mr. Scamander, do you know anything about the wizarding community in America?
I do know a few things, actually. I know you have rather backwards laws about relations with Non-Magic people. That you're not meant to befriend them. That you can't marry them, which seems mildly absurd to me...
Tina Who's gonna marry him?
[Jacob, in spite of being ill, still manages to look insulted]
[referring to Credence]
Can someone please tell me what this Obscural...Obscurius thing is? Please?
Tina There hasn't been one for centuries.
I met one in Sudan three months ago. There used to be more of them, but they still exist. It was before wizards went underground, when we were still being hunted by Muggles. Young wizards and witches sometimes tried to suppress their magic to avoid persecution. So instead of learning to harness or control their powers, they developed what was called an Obscurus.
Tina It's an unstable, uncontrollable dark force that busts out and attacks, and then vanishes. Obscurials can't survive long, can they?
There's no documented case of an Obscurial surviving past the age of ten. The one I met in Africa was eight when she...she was eight when she died.
What are you telling me here? That Senator Shaw was killed by a...a kid?
You're an interesting man, Mr. Scamander.
Tina Mr. Graves...
[silences her with a finger]
You were thrown out of Hogwarts for endangering human life...
That was an accident.
...with a beast. Yet one of your teachers argued strongly against your expulsion. Now...what makes Albus Dumbledore...so fond of you?
Tina [One of Newt's creatures saves Tina from the death cell, then flies around, blocking the pursuing Aurors' spells] [running]
What is that thing?
Tina [laughs]
Well, I love it!
Tina Graves always insisted the disturbances were caused by a beast. We need to catch all your creatures so he can't keep using them as a scapegoat.
There's only one still missing. Dougal, my Demiguise.
Tina [amused]
Dougal?
Slight problem is that, um, he's invisible.
Tina Invisible?
Yes. Most of the time. He does, um...
Tina How do you catch something...?
With immense difficulty.
You can tell me to mind my business, but I saw something in that death potion back there. I saw you hugging that Second Salem boy.
Tina His name's Credence. His mother beats him. She beats all those kids she's adopted, but she seems to hate him the most.
And she was the No-Maj you attacked?
Tina That's how I lost my job. I went for her in front of a meeting of her crazy followers. They all had to be Obliviated. It was a big scandal.
Tina Tell me the truth. Was that everything that came out of the case?
That's everything. And that's the truth.
Tina [laughing]
Hasn't it?
