It wasn't on purpose! As though I would purposely put my creatures in harm's way. Please. The only way for me to get to Arizona was traveling through a Muggle port and the cheapest way to do so was to go through New York. [Newt huffs a little bit and looks to be sulking just a tad.]

Yes, I am quite aware about their kill on sight laws and their strict laws about Muggles in general. Look, I couldn't not return the Thunderbird back home. I- [He sighs.] Dumbledore had tipped me off about the smugglers in Egypt. Icouldn't leave him, Theseus.

[It was an obvious manipulation on Dumbledore's part. Newt knew that after the events of New York.] Also, technically yes. The fiasco at the bank was surely my fault, but my creatures would have been fine had Jacob and I hadn't accidentally swapped briefcases.
