Doctor Will Zimmerman quotes from Sanctuary

Will Zimmerman

This is war for you. Living under combat conditions.

Helen Magnus

Imagine doing it for five lifetimes!

Will Zimmerman

Imagine having one lifetime to do everything that matters to you. Magnus, you could give a hundred years to the Sanctuary and still have hundreds more to go. I only get one set of days. I think you need to appreciate what it means if I give them all to you.

Helen Magnus

[watches him walk away, then softly] I think about it every day.

Will Zimmerman

You can't get close to anybody, because you're just going to lose them, right?

Helen Magnus

Would you blame me if that were true?

Will Zimmerman

Magnus, what good is your lifetime if you don't allow yourself to connect with anyone? You surround yourself with people who would do anything for you, and then you turn your back on them when they don't live up to your standards.

Helen Magnus

That's ridiculous--

Will Zimmerman

John Druitt.

Helen Magnus

You can't even begin to judge that--

Will Zimmerman

Griffin, Watson, and now me. Are we all just expendable in your mind? Is that how you cope? [pause] Ashley?

Helen Magnus

[crying] You bastard.

Will Zimmerman

You have to keep me moving, no matter what you have to do or say to me.

Helen Magnus

Said one junkie to the other.

Helen Magnus

Will, you need to understand, you were never part of some master plan. I may have a long view of things now, but the first time 'round, I was taking chances, just like anyone. When I asked you to come here, I had no idea if it would turn out to be a brilliant move or a total disaster.

Will Zimmerman

And?

Helen Magnus

Many disasters, most brilliant.

Will Zimmerman

Looking for a depressed, Serbian, electromagnetic vampire?

Helen Magnus

Oh please, tell me he's left.

Will Zimmerman

Last seen heading towards the wine cellar looking for something 'ostentatious, yet obsequious'.

Helen Magnus

Oh, well good, that should keep him occupied for a while.

Helen Magnus

Are you going to restrain me?

Will Zimmerman

Should I?

Helen Magnus

Oh, definitely.

Helen Magnus

If you want to help, please... Just do as I ask one final time.

Will Zimmerman

I got your back.

Helen Magnus

I'll see you when all this is over, Will. I promise.

Helen Magnus

What if I offered you the chance to explore a world that you've been trying to see since you were a child? Oh, right, you already have a job.

Will Zimmerman

Had a job. I quit SCIU last week.

Helen Magnus

Well, then you might want to see this.
