Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

John Druitt

I need to leave now.

Helen Magnus

Where are you going?

John Druitt

I have no destination in mind.

Declan Macrae

How was Egypt?

Helen Magnus

[sighs] Ah. Tiring... and what's the other word I'm looking for? Ah, yes, sandy.

Edward Forsythe

Troublesome Kali cult member, meet Dr. Helen Magnus.

From the Sanctuary? Cha Kali maki.

Helen Magnus

Cha Kali maki.

Edward Forsythe

You guys know each other?

She is well known among my people for protecting the special creatures of the Earth.

Helen Magnus

Thank you, Charles.

Edward Forsythe

Charles? I thought your name was Kyle.

Charles.

Helen Magnus

You know, you could help instead of lounging around like a frat boy.

Edward Forsythe

I gave you Carl, didn't I?

Charles.

Edward Forsythe

You can't blame me for dreaming big.

Helen Magnus

It's a rare quality these days.

Will Zimmerman

For all I know, I could have been chatting with Elvis.

Helen Magnus

Don't be ridiculous. Elvis is-- Never mind.

Helen Magnus

Cheeky bastard!

Declan Macrae

I guess my work here's done.

Helen Magnus

Can you feel that?

Will Zimmerman

What, your finger in my ear?

Helen Magnus

Are you all right?

Will Zimmerman

Are you kidding? I love being the bait.

Henry Foss

He's out cold, and the crowd goes wild. Three words, please.

Helen Magnus

Well done, Henry.

Helen Magnus

I have no idea, but this is a power and technology beyond anything we've ever known.

Do you think it exists?

Helen Magnus

Well, if it does, we have to find it, wherever it is. Thank you, father.

Henry Foss

I already know your next question.

Helen Magnus

And I think I already know your answer.

Henry Foss

Why would I bring a retinal scanner to a simple bug pick-up?

Will Zimmerman

Surgery? Here?

Helen Magnus

I've operated in the trenches at Verdun. At least here I don't have to deal with the mud and the rats.

Helen Magnus

There's just one thing that bothers me.

Kate Freelander

What's that?

Helen Magnus

All that money, and you didn't even take any.

Kate Freelander

I...

Helen Magnus

Isn't that depressing?

Kate Freelander

[sighs] Terribly.

Will Zimmerman

It's a set-up, Magnus, a trap. That's what he does, how he rolls, his modus operandi.

Helen Magnus

Yes. What if he's posing as the king of a lost mountain tribe and he wants me for his queen! Or what if he actually needs our help?

Will Zimmerman

Fine. I'll get my stuff together. The man comes with a hidden agenda, every time. Every time!

Helen Magnus

[softly, after Will leaves] That's what makes him so interesting.

Helen Magnus

How long you been down here?

Nikola Tesla

Well, let's see now, nine days, seven hours. You know, I wish I'd stopped counting, but it's just not in my nature.
