Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

John Druitt

If any harm comes to her, accidental or otherwise...

Nikola Tesla

I have no reason to do her any harm. But you? I'm finding more reasons by the minute.

Helen Magnus

Honestly! I'm surrounded by adolescents!

Nikola Tesla

Your father really didn't like me, did he?

Helen Magnus

You're an acquired taste.

Nikola Tesla

You felt genuine concern for me. Admit it.

Helen Magnus

Nonsense.

Nikola Tesla

Oh. You still like me, it's so obvious.

Helen Magnus

You tried to kill me.

Nikola Tesla

Yeah, but, you know, we all hurt the ones we love.

Helen Magnus

Not much of a test...

Nikola Tesla

You're a total daddy's girl.

You must be desperate indeed.

Helen Magnus

[puts pistol down on table] Desperate was last month.

John Druitt

If you're going to help, do try to remain sober.

Nikola Tesla

Half-vampire! Alcohol doesn't affect me. Though since you showed up, God I wish it did.

Helen Magnus

Explains why my wine cellar is now empty.

Nikola Tesla

Consider it payment for averting a global crisis.

Helen Magnus

Nothing personal?! They have my daughter! Now where was that boat headed?

Kate Freelander

Look, I have no idea!

Helen Magnus

[aims gun at Kate's leg] Get used to sitting more.

Helen Magnus

Not a single genetic defect or latent abnormality in her DNA.

Nikola Tesla

Makes me sleepy just looking at it.

Dana Whitcomb

[answering phone] Dana Whitcomb.

Helen Magnus

Is that your real name, or just the one we'll put on your headstone?

Helen Magnus

Nikola, did I ever tell you why my father founded the Sanctuary network all those decades ago?

Nikola Tesla

Because he was a crappy doctor?

John Druitt

What now?

Helen Magnus

We defend our home.

Will Zimmerman

Once more into the breach, dear friends.

Helen Magnus

Once more, or close up the wall with our English dead.

Will Zimmerman

Or we could all just run away.

Helen Magnus

If only we were that smart.

Helen Magnus

[to Bigfoot] Stop doting on me. It makes my teeth itch.

Mine too.

Will Zimmerman

What do you think happens after we die? You've seen more lives end than anyone else that I know.

Helen Magnus

Kurt and Albert and I got into this discussion once at a Princeton football game, I think it was 1953. Albert argued that the concept of matter equaling energy, and vice versa, was far more ubiquitous than any of us could have imagined.

Will Zimmerman

That would be Kurt Goedel and Albert Einstein?

Helen Magnus

What do I think death is?

Will Zimmerman

Yeah.

Helen Magnus

Did you ever see Field of Dreams?

Will Zimmerman

Yeah, I loved that movie.

Helen Magnus

The cornfield. It's rather like that.

Will Zimmerman

I never understood what happened in the cornfield.

Helen Magnus

Nobody did. That was the point.
