Connor Temple quotes from Primeval

Connor

[While playing with the magnetism of the anomaly by allowing metal objects to be sucked through] Heh heh! It's brilliant. Oh... that was my front door key...

Connor

(answering Abby's phone) Abby Maitland's love shack, number one stud speaking.

Connor

Rex! I swear, when I catch you, you're gonna be the first animal to become extinct twice!

Connor

Action man says he's coming.

Connor

We might have a problem.

Connor

A ratty-chipmunk-beaver kind of problem.

Connor

Becker, it leads to the Victorian Era. What do you think is going to come through, an Oliver-Twist-Asaurus?

Nick

[throws a stack of paper on his desk into a rubbish bin]

Connor

Oh... actually, that's my dissertation. Yeah.

Nick

[retrieves the stack of papers from the rubbish bin and begins paging through it]

Connor

See, I argued that all life on Earth derived from organisms carried here by alien spacecraft. It's pretty sexy stuff.

Nick

[throws stack of papers back into the rubbish bin]

Connor

...It's a work in progress, really...

Connor

[introducing himself] Professor? Connor Temple.

Nick

Sorry, never heard of it. I think you want Archaeology.

Connor

Okay, Carboniferous, so it's probably an Arthropleura. That's an centipede on steroids, basically. It's more or less blind, and good sense of smell and touch. I mean, this thing is pretty big and scary looking, but it's more or less timid. It's the kind of bug that'd stick to the kitchen at parties.

Claudia

This one must have a personality disorder.

Connor

[about Stephen] You really like him, don't you?

Abby

I don't know him.

Connor

When has that ever stopped people from fancying each other before?

Connor

The reservoir is land-locked right? So allowing for condensation and rainfall, the depth should be pretty consistent.

Nick

Yeah.

Connor

I made this mark of water level earlier. [Dips a measuring stick into the water] The water level has fallen forty centimetres since then. This isn't a reservoir anymore—it's a tidal lake!

Nick

The water must be flowing out through the anomaly... which means it's still down there somewhere.

Connor

Fluke.

Stephen

Jealous.

I didn’t expect the SAS.

Nick

The town council takes pest control very seriously, Mrs. Davis.

Nick

Relax, everyone. It’s only a python.

[shrieks] Only a python? What the hell were you expecting?

Connor

[holding his ear] Ow.

Capt. Ryan

[On dead dodo] Professor, we have a dodo down.

Claudia

Oh, no.

Abby

How did that happen?

Connor

Maybe he ate one of the pies.

They tried to take me over, Con. But I fought them. I fought them.

Connor

You did a really good job.

I'm a hero. [dies]
