Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Helen Magnus

I have a diprotodon who's about to go into labor. Unless you'd like to stay and monitor his cervix?

No!

Helen Magnus

Thought not.

Will Zimmerman

What Henry means is that we were transporting the abnormal in an alternative... temperature-controlled container.

Helen Magnus

A refrigerator?!

Will Zimmerman

Well, yes, I believe it's also known by that name--

Henry Foss

It was just a few minutes to the docks. What's going to happen?

Helen Magnus

You do realize that question has now ceased to be rhetorical?

Henry Foss

Yes, I do now.

Nikola Tesla

You know, this reminds me of when we were in Egypt looking for Tut's tomb, huh? Ah... those wild early days. No ground-penetrating radar, no satellite imagery.

Helen Magnus

We were barely better than grave-robbers.

Nikola Tesla

Do you remember the leaves of autumn that time we met at Oxford?

Helen Magnus

You need to stay focused. Your body's going into shock.

Nikola Tesla

That crimson dress you were wearing...

Helen Magnus

You'll start to feel cold, and then you'll want to sleep.

Nikola Tesla

Yes.

Helen Magnus

You can't give in to it. You need to keep that magnetic field going. Any more blood loss, and--

Nikola Tesla

Any sensible woman would have worn black, you know, to fit in, but not Helen Magnus. Oh, no.

Helen Magnus

You're familiar with the fox and the chicken parable?

Nikola Tesla

I am. Which are you in this story, the chicken or the fox?

Helen Magnus

The farmer!

Nikola Tesla

You have a Sasquatch for a butler and you travel the world with history's most notorious murderer, and now you don't feel safe? Helen, green is not a good color on you.

Helen Magnus

Don't be ridiculous.

Nikola Tesla

She's intelligent, powerful, remarkably well- preserved for her age, everything I look for in a woman, and unlike someone I know, she's actually interested in me.

Helen Magnus

I'm not engaging in this childish conversation.

Nikola Tesla

The more you deny it, the truer it is.

Helen Magnus

Oh, that's an excellent scientific method.

Nikola Tesla

Thank you.

Helen Magnus

Really, really good--

I can hear you, you know. Vampire, remember?

You need to learn to trust me.

Helen Magnus

And if I don't?

That's when bad things start to happen.

When I repopulate my species, I plan to do much better than a mixed-blood mongrel. You, though, will be... quite useful.

Helen Magnus

How? I'm less vampire than he is.

Exactly. A blood donor that stays young and fresh forever, but without the bitter aftertaste.

Helen Magnus

I hope you choke on it.

I would have shared everything with you. All the wonders of a new age.

Helen Magnus

While keeping me as your personal canteen?

In my time, it was an honor to serve the Queen.

Helen Magnus

I'll pass.

Suit yourself.

Once we've conquered the world down there, we'll be back.

Helen Magnus

I don't doubt it. We'll be waiting.

I would have so liked to have had you for my court.

Nikola Tesla

We mustn't forget our most important achievement of the day. My resurrection.

Helen Magnus

Oh, here we go...

Nikola Tesla

Sweet, sweet resurrection.

Helen Magnus

More violent than I expected...

James Watson

Ah, bad luck.

James Watson

Ludicrous. Traipsing around Nazi France, alone. We should have brought some bloody SAS lads for safety.

Helen Magnus

More men means attracting more attention.

James Watson

Kind of like blowing up a checkpoint with a tank.

Helen Magnus

Well, if your German sounded more Bavarian...

James Watson

Pish posh.

Helen Magnus

You should know, we deal with monsters.

I deal with Nazis. I say we're even.

Ah, I like this girl.
