Doctor Helen Magnus quotes from Sanctuary

Helen Magnus

Never stop doing that, being honest with me. Anything else and I will be insulted. Thanks.

Will Zimmerman

Sancho Panza had it easy.

Will Zimmerman

I need to know, are you searching for closure...or a miracle?

Helen Magnus

There are no such things as miracles.

Ashley Magnus

Nos must amitto vivo en. We must let go.

Helen Magnus

[turns to see Ashley behind her] I cannot.

Ashley Magnus

You have to, Mom.

Helen Magnus

But you're...you're my life. Without you--

Ashley Magnus

You'll never be without me, and I know that you will always love me. No matter what.

Helen Magnus

Nice shot.

Will Zimmerman

Well, he... he’s kinda hard to miss.

Helen Magnus

It does mean we’re going to have to do a far more detailed exam.

Will Zimmerman

Ah. Well, that doesn’t bode well for our “we’re not super villains” case.

Helen Magnus

Try to avoid the topic of total global domination.

Helen Magnus

I asked Henry to move your things into more permanent quarters.

Kate Freelander

You what?

Helen Magnus

I trust that meets with your agenda?

Helen Magnus

You said we have five hours, maybe more; please, help me understand this.

Will Zimmerman

Magnus, if she turns, they'll come.

Helen Magnus

Then I suggest you leave. Because I will not let you shoot this girl.

Will Zimmerman

You're totally pissed, aren't you, that you came up empty.

Helen Magnus

[forced chuckle] Absolutely furious.

Will Zimmerman

Wow, look at that. What a beautiful day.

Helen Magnus

Mm. Not bad, Will.

Will Zimmerman

I know what you're going to say. That if you could teach a lion to speak you still wouldn't understand him... your dad's favorite expression.

Helen Magnus

Because we often make the egocentric mistake of believing that abnormals think the same way we do; that their worldview and logic patterns are similar. In most cases even with the most intelligent species they simply aren't.

Will Zimmerman

What is it with you and flying, anyway?

Helen Magnus

Two crashes in 158 years, that's not bad.

Will Zimmerman

They only invented flying 110 years ago, so...

Will Zimmerman

She happens to be the foremost authority on deviant psychology in Scandinavia, thank you very much.

Helen Magnus

[laughs] Such an attractive element in a woman.

Helen Magnus

Honestly, Will, they are one of the most docile creatures in the entire ocean.

Will Zimmerman

You got to stop using that word to describe it, 'cause it is not docile.

Will Zimmerman

Okay, well, you must have been stranded at sea before.

Helen Magnus

Only once. April 14th, 1912.

Helen Magnus

I own a villa in Italy, on Capri, near Naples. I go there every seven years.

Will Zimmerman

Seven years?

Helen Magnus

Yeah, for a long weekend.

Will Zimmerman

Wow, I take it back. You really do know how to unwind.

Helen Magnus

That's about as long as I can stand doing nothing. British, remember?
