Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Ashley Magnus

All good, Mom. The city is now minus one ugly, poodle-eating chameleon guy.

Helen Magnus

Are you hurt?

Ashley Magnus

No, not a scratch.

Helen Magnus

I'll redo your bandages when you get home.

My Keepers are keyed to find them, no matter where they go.

Helen Magnus

Your Keepers are dead all over my house. Do you have any more?

Put them in separate trucks. I'd be careful what you do next; the people I work for aren't the forgiving type.

Helen Magnus

Neither am I. Tell them this is far from over. Now get off my property.

Will Zimmerman

You got in? How?

Helen Magnus

Now where would a girl be without her secrets?

Will Zimmerman

That's... not an answer.

Helen Magnus

I know.

Will Zimmerman

You know, there was this case that I worked on at the agency that never got solved but had a very similar set of circumstances.

Helen Magnus

Austin, Texas, 2005.

Will Zimmerman

How do you know about Austin?

Ashley Magnus

Are you serious? She knows when you switched from boxers to briefs, man.

Will Zimmerman

I'm a hero.

Ashley Magnus

Actually, on a scale from zero to hero, you're more like...

Helen Magnus

Ashley...

Ashley Magnus

...Almost respectable.

Helen Magnus

Oh, please tell me that that is tea.

Will Zimmerman

Gods are on vacation. It's coffee. Here.

Helen Magnus

Pass.

Will Zimmerman

Come on, it'll help you keep warm.

Helen Magnus

I have standards, Will. Drinking coffee? Well below them.

Will Zimmerman

Man, you're a Brit to the core, aren't you?

Helen Magnus

And proud of it.

Will Zimmerman

This is the world's worst cup of coffee.

Helen Magnus

Rule Britannia.

Helen Magnus

Believe me, I've been in far worse situations than this.

You have?

Helen Magnus

Absolutely. There was a town of zombies in Uganda, and of course I ran out of ammunition just as night fell. A deep sea capsule I was in was trapped underneath a gigantic mutated squid, and there was an escaped lunatic who was able to turn himself into a giant ape.

Thanks. You just made all that up, didn't you?

Helen Magnus

Only two of them.

Will Zimmerman

I keep thinking there must be some way of telling, you know; a way of knowing if the person's really them.

Helen Magnus

For the moment we'll just have to rely on the little things.

Will Zimmerman

Like the fact that the real you wouldn't insult me by giving me false hope.

Helen Magnus

Or the fact you keep offering me that horrible brown sludge to drink.

John Druitt

Did you ever love me? I mean, truly love me? You know I'm just an element of your subconscious mind, so feel free to be completely frank.

Helen Magnus

When I first knew you at Oxford, I loved you with my entire being.

John Druitt

Those were passionate times, gone too quickly...followed by very dark days.

Helen Magnus

You destroyed my heart, John. Even though I understood why you had changed, your ailment, the hatred you felt towards me, and then the way you would harm our daughter.

Helen Magnus

Eric paid with his life to bring this creature back. We owe it to him to preserve it.

Ashley Magnus

I think we owe it to him to kill it.

Helen Magnus

We have a rather odd situation on our hands.

Will Zimmerman

Isn't "rather odd" sort of your stock in trade?

Will Zimmerman

I'm... ah...I'm gonna go to bed.

Helen Magnus

Sweet dreams.

Will Zimmerman

Don't forget to put out the fire.

Helen Magnus

I never do.

Helen Magnus

Haven't you noticed it?

Will Zimmerman

Are you asking me if I've been feeling... randy?

Helen Magnus

I've made you uncomfortable.

Will Zimmerman

No, as a matter of fact, you've... you've aroused my curiosity.

Helen Magnus

Oh. Well, turnabout is fair play.

Will Zimmerman

Awkward.

Helen Magnus

Poor thing.
