Doctor Will Zimmerman quotes from Sanctuary

Nikola Tesla

I’m guessing that one of you must be a blood relative of Nigel Griffin otherwise why would you even be brought along. I hope you're up to the task.

Clara Griffin

Damn straight I am, skinny.

Nikola Tesla

You, I like. [to Will] You, I don't know.

Will Zimmerman

I'm Dr Zimmerman, I work with Dr Magnus.

Nikola Tesla

Protégé. Well. The mission's necessary disposable item.

Clara Griffin

What the hell was that all about?

Will Zimmerman

Well, the guy who invented radio just dissed Jack the Ripper.

Clara Griffin

Thanks for taking off your pants.

Will Zimmerman

You never have to thank me for that.

Nikola Tesla

Young love is so...heartbreaking to observe, as a scientist. So passionate, so innocent, and yet, so utterly doomed.

Will Zimmerman

Huh. So I'm guessing you've never been in love, then.

Nikola Tesla

Countless times, my friend. See, the difference is I recognize the emotion for what it is: An irrational, self-destructive impulse which is disguised as joy.

Nikola Tesla

Your shaggy friend is still refusing treatment and frankly, I’m insulted.

Will Zimmerman

Oh right, yeah, because I forgot - this is all about you.

Nikola Tesla

I have spent weeks creating a working treatment for the Lazarus virus, I spent weeks more traveling the earth disseminating it to the affected abnormals, effectively stemming an outbreak, and in the end the creep in the room with the hair doesn’t want to take his medicine! It’s personal and we both know it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Henry Foss

Did he say how he was able to fly?

Will Zimmerman

Yeah, three weeks ago he was hanging out on a friend's yacht off the coast of Africa when they got attacked by pirates called the "Singh Brotherhood". Somehow in the middle of it all he got pushed over the side and he swam to shore, and he found a cave, and in the cave there was this temple, and in the temple there was this ruby called [Henry joins in] the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak. Yeah. How did you know that?

Henry Foss

[chuckling] This guy is good.

Will Zimmerman

What are you talking about?

Henry Foss

For real, you never read comic books as a kid?

Will Zimmerman

I mean, yeah... I was more of a Sherlock Holmes guy. Why?

Henry Foss

Okay, the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak? That's the stone Cain Marko found in the X-Men number 12; turned him into Juggernaut. The Singh Brotherhood is from The Phantom, and the yacht, well, if you don't know the story the Green Arrow, then there's no hope for you, pal. Dude, you got played.

Will Zimmerman

Crap.

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.
