Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Will Zimmerman

Let me get this straight; you own a villa in Italy, and you never told me about it?

Helen Magnus

I own a lot of things you don't know about.

Will Zimmerman

Wow! You blew the whole thing! It's just gone! You're crazy, you know that you're absolutely, certifiably insane!

Helen Magnus

That was pretty cool.

Will Zimmerman

Pretty cool? Yeah! That was like James Bond-Die Hard-cool!

Will Zimmerman

It's hard, isn't it? Finding someone worth anything?

Helen Magnus

You're kidding, right? I mean, there's plenty of fish in the sea.

Will Zimmerman

No-no-no, no-no-no. You didn't just make that joke! You didn't just make that joke right here!

Helen Magnus

You laughed!

Will Zimmerman

No. I didn't. It was derisively, out of pity.

Helen Magnus

Nah, a laugh's a laugh.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah, no. I was just choking on helicopter fuel.

Henry Foss

[on phone] Destroy your walkie right now!

Helen Magnus

[drops her walkie, stomps on it] Now, tell me why I just did that.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah. Well, I'm off to see Sally. Hey, what kind of thank-you gift do you get for a mermaid?

Helen Magnus

Oh! She really likes it if you swim with her.

Will Zimmerman

Huh... I'll get my suit.

Helen Magnus

Ah... [smiles] No suit.

Kate Freelander

It's funny. I always wondered what I would do if I ever figured out who killed my father. Turns out it's not as black and white as I thought.

Helen Magnus

Life rarely is.

Will Zimmerman

Hey, you know, this would be a lot easier with Henry's help.

Helen Magnus

He's unavailable.

Will Zimmerman

Why, again?

Helen Magnus

[flustered pause] He's... on a mission of utmost importance, I was sworn to absolute secrecy.

Will Zimmerman

Wait a second... San Diego Comic Con? That's the mission of utmost importance?

Helen Magnus

You did not hear it from me.

Kate Freelander

You call this a plan? Whatever happened to The good old stake through the heart?

Will Zimmerman

Doesn’t work.

Kate Freelander

What about all those movies, like Buffy…

Helen Magnus

Misinformation propaganda. Spread by the vampires themselves— Confuse the enemy, preserve the race.

Kate Freelander

What about exposing them to sunlight or garlic?

Will Zimmerman

All you get is tanned vampires with bad breath.

Helen Magnus

Besides, we don’t want to kill them. We want to help them.

Kate Freelander

No, I’m thinking kill them.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah. Trust-fund vampires? I’m thinking she’s right.

Helen Magnus

Granted, but it wasn’t their choice. They may be rich, spoiled, insolent children, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t save them.

Helen Magnus

That’s a terrible sales pitch.

Kate Freelander

Yeah.

Nikola Tesla

Well, well, well, the appetizers have arrived.

Helen Magnus

Well this is the last time I come to your rescue!

Nikola Tesla

I've often wondered what this moment would be like: me, you, tied up. It's a shame you brought the children.

Helen Magnus

Focus, Nikola.

Nikola Tesla

Forgive me, Helen. It's just my soul-crushing depression talking. I'm not myself.

Helen Magnus

On the contrary; you are your real self again: human, mortal-

Nikola Tesla

Watch your language.

Helen Magnus

I'm sorry, Nikola, but it's true. I've tried everything I can think of. There's simply no way to "re-vamp" you.

Nikola Tesla

You see how this puts a crimp in my plans for world domination? Not to say I won't keep trying.

Helen Magnus

I would expect nothing less.

Nikola Tesla

Very well, if this is to be a wake, then lets do it properly. Join me in a toast: To happier times, to those halcyon times of blood lust, now gone. Plus you got to admit vampires are just plain cool.

Helen Magnus

[laughing] Amen.

Nikola Tesla

Here's to the glorious vampire race, once mighty, now extinct.

Helen Magnus

He wanted me to kill him.

Kate Freelander

No offense but you guys got a seriously messed up relationship.

Helen Magnus

It's complicated.

Helen Magnus

You said you feel "different". What do you mean by that?

John Druitt

The darkness within me is...gone. Completely. Far more than when Tesla shot me, that was appeasement, but this...this is...so peaceful.

Helen Magnus

John, what's its agenda?

John Druitt

Chaos, death, suffering...sound familiar?

John Druitt

Let me go.

Helen Magnus

John, you don't have to do this. We could find a way--

John Druitt

I love you. Remember that... always.
