Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Henry Foss

We're going to need to fortify our defenses, aren't we?

Helen Magnus

Very much so, my friend.

I don't like women with secrets.

Helen Magnus

You'll hate me.

Helen Magnus

I'm fine. I've been through worse.

You keep saying that. You've been through worse, you've seen worse. You sound like an old woman.

Helen Magnus

I am an old woman.

What's your deal, anyway? You're being totally cryptic about being here, and you went Die Hard on these guys. What are you, a spy, an agent, or something?

Helen Magnus

A doctor.

Of ass-kicking.

Helen Magnus

Something like that.

Are you sure you can't stay for a day or two? Relax, hang out?

Helen Magnus

See, the thing about me is I rarely just hang out. [Charlotte kisses her] Dear God.

Mad?

Helen Magnus

On the contrary, I just... I haven't been kissed like that in a very long time. [Helen returns Charlotte's kiss]

Helen Magnus

The middle of the New Mexico desert. Interesting.

Henry Foss

I'm not getting why.

Helen Magnus

Oh, Henry. It's Area 51.

Henry Foss

What? What about the one on Google maps?

Helen Magnus

Decoy, aimed at conspiracy theorists, I'm afraid. Much like the Pentagon.

Henry Foss

Really?

Helen Magnus

No.

If you're caught, you could be charged with espionage.

Helen Magnus

That never sticks.

Helen Magnus

The decor in this place. Something about it is very familiar.

Henry Foss

Like "I had that lamp in my dorm room" familiar? Or, um, "I dreamt I was going to be executed by the federal government" familiar?

Nikola Tesla

Now, before you go off on some high and mighty diatribe--

Helen Magnus

Do you have any idea how many innocent creatures have been dragged here against their will?

Nikola Tesla

Too late.

Helen Magnus

Did you notice anything unusual about Nikola's behavior?

Henry Foss

Other than the knife in your back with his fingerprints on it?

Helen Magnus

He's hiding something. He needs our help, but he's too stubborn to ask.

Henry Foss

Oh, I did not get that.

Nikola Tesla

What is it about you and me and dark, narrow corridors?

Helen Magnus

You know, it does seem to be a recurring theme, doesn't it?

Nikola Tesla

Hey, how about we leave the kid [meaning Henry] and find a dark, isolated supply closet?

Helen Magnus

It won't be long before it extends beyond the facility.

Nikola Tesla

Yes, yes, yes, but more importantly, I did it. I invented wireless electricity.

Helen Magnus

Fortunately I brought the world's foremost expert on taking things apart. Henry?

Henry Foss

[smiling] I'm on it.

Henry Foss

He's working on his Nobel speech. Wants to call his invention Tesla-tricity.

Helen Magnus

Blimey.

Helen Magnus

If these Red Listers do exist, my priority is to make sure they don't fall into the wrong hands.

Bruno Delacourt

Obviously, sure.

Helen Magnus

And I'll be keeping a very tight leash on you.

Bruno Delacourt

Meow!

Bruno Delacourt

You! Look at your... the way the streetlight, the lamp--

Helen Magnus

Don't...speak.
