Jenny Lewis quotes from Primeval

Nick

Watch where you're swinging that thing!

Jenny

Next time, I'll leave it to you to get yourself out of trouble!

Jenny

Let me help. I want to do something.

Nick

Okay. I want you to go and bully a few traumatized bystanders, and then I want you to come up with some spin to just smooth all this away.

Jenny

You don’t approve of me, do you?

Nick

No, I used to think you were really something, but you’re not that person.

Jenny

Am I supposed to understand that?

Nick

No, I guess not.

Jenny

How long has the body been here?

Nick

I don't know. A week; a month.

Connor

If it's been that long, the anomaly could have formed before the detector came online, which would mean there's nothing wrong with it, guys.

Nick

Yeah, there's one problem. The sabretooth may well have killed the guy, but it sure as hell didn't dig a trench ten feet deep and bury his body.

Connor

High CO2, low oxygen.

Nick

It's pre-Carboniferous. Maybe Ordovician or Silurian. There's no dinosaurs, no mammals, and no birds... wait a minute, what's that?

Connor

It's a little girl.

Jenny

What is she doing?

Nick

She's looking for her dog.

Abby

She might be injured.

Connor

There's nothing really in the Silurian to injure her. We're talking a few basic plants and some bugs.

Abby

How big are the bugs?

Connor

Bug size, I think. As far as periods go, it's a pretty safe one to get lost in.

Lester

My worst nightmare in one sentence.

Jenny

[just coming off phone] Mammoth on the M25!

Nick

Columbian mammoth!

Lester

The flavour is immaterial!

Actually sir, the Columbian is a hairless species—

Lester

I don't care if it's shaved its legs and gotten a bikini wax, it's on a motorway in broad daylight!

Jenny

I've shut down the motorway on the next two junctions, kept the camera crews out, shut down the mobile network, there's a no-fly zone in place, and the eyewitnesses have been debriefed.

Nick

And all that with your skirt tucked into your tights. Well done.

Jenny

I'm not going to look.

Jenny

James, we've got a problem.

Lester

So have I - it's called Christine Johnson. Think "Velociraptor," only better-dressed.

Jenny

James, a creature has escaped through the anomaly.

Lester

What is it?

Jenny

We don't know.

Lester

Well, can't you look its picture up in your big book of dinosaurs?

Jenny

Cutter's tracking it now. We have the anomaly site secured, but there's something else. There was an eyewitness - a young woman in the museum.

Lester

Well, you know, have her shot and dispose of her body discreetly. [exits office] Just kidding.

Connor

That was Cutter. Told him he was right about the anomaly.

Jenny

What'd he say?

Connor

His exact words? Something along the lines of (in Scottish accent) 'Course I was right!

Danny Quinn

[In a helicopter while being chased by a Giganotosaurus; to Jenny] Don't worry. I'm an experienced pilot.

Jenny Lewis

How experienced?

Danny

Two lessons. But they went unbelievably well.

Jenny Lewis

[exasperated] Alright, what's the plan?

Danny

Pretty much making it up as I go along!

Lester

How did you get in?

Danny

Jumped the perimeter fence and kicked in a fire door. It was easy.

Lester

...What the hell are you doing here?

Danny

It's my life's ambition to fight dinosaurs, save the world. Look... I just want to help, that's all.

Jenny

I warned you to stay away from this, Danny.

Danny

See? I thought you were flirting. It's so difficult to read women these days.

Lester

[to Becker] Can you pistol-whip him?

Becker

Sir?

Lester

Just a thought.

Connor

Jenny?

Jenny

Connor?

Abby

Jenny!

Jenny

Oh no, no, no, no, no, this can't be happening.

Connor

What are you doing here?

Jenny

What am I doing here? What are you doing here? [Laughs] This is a joke, right? [Pause] But, how did you know I was getting married?

Abby

Married!

Jenny

You're here, and... oh, my God, there's an anomaly!

Matt

I'm Matt Anderson.

Jenny

What am I going to tell him?

Abby

Who?

Jenny

Michael, my fiance!

Abby

Oh.

Jenny

I'm not a demanding bride, really I'm not. Rain I can handle. Wrong flowers, fine. Dinosaurs? I draw the line.

Connor

Actually, they're more like prehistoric dogs this time. Kinda cute in a not-raptor way... I'm just gonna shut up.

So, Jenny's always been pretty mysterious about her past.

Jenny

That's because my life didn't begin until I met you.

No, really, I'm interested.

Connor

Oh, it was boring really.

Abby

Yep. Just work, 9 'til 5, you know the routine.

Not really. I'm a musician.

Connor

Wow! That's cool. Are you any good at RockBand? I've got a top score of... Emily!

Emily

I can help. If I'm going to be stuck here I can't just sit around.

Abby

Emily.

Emily

Did a creature come through the gateway?

...Is this one of those team-building things?

Jenny

Yep!

Emily

What's team-building?

Emily

You don't seem surprised.

Jenny

What, that Lester's still grumpy? No, not really.

Emily

That I'm from the 1800's.

Jenny

Emily, when you've seen what I've seen, trust me - nothing surprises you.
