Doctor Will Zimmerman quotes from Sanctuary

Will Zimmerman

Wow, look at that. What a beautiful day.

Helen Magnus

Mm. Not bad, Will.

Will Zimmerman

Last time I saw Jack with Rachel, he was pretty docile. She was even teaching him sign language.

Kate Freelander

Well hey, I'm no scientist, but you teach a deadly abnormal how to talk and all you'll get is a deadly, talking abnormal.

Kate Freelander

That's amazing... in like a total geeky kind of way.

Will Zimmerman

Wow, jealous much?

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

In the real world forensics is under-staffed, under-funded and backlogged to the nines.

Kate Freelander

Oh. Well, score one for the criminals, then.

Will Zimmerman

Put it this way, if I had this tech to work with you'd have been behind bars years ago.

Kate Freelander

No, I wouldn't.

Will Zimmerman

Who did this?

Declan Macrae

Look, it's too early to know for sure, but so far all the evidence I've gathered points to Helen Magnus.

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?

Will Zimmerman

Let me get this straight; you own a villa in Italy, and you never told me about it?

Helen Magnus

I own a lot of things you don't know about.

Will Zimmerman

Wow! You blew the whole thing! It's just gone! You're crazy, you know that you're absolutely, certifiably insane!

Helen Magnus

That was pretty cool.

Will Zimmerman

Pretty cool? Yeah! That was like James Bond-Die Hard-cool!

Will Zimmerman

It's hard, isn't it? Finding someone worth anything?

Helen Magnus

You're kidding, right? I mean, there's plenty of fish in the sea.

Will Zimmerman

No-no-no, no-no-no. You didn't just make that joke! You didn't just make that joke right here!

Helen Magnus

You laughed!

Will Zimmerman

No. I didn't. It was derisively, out of pity.

Helen Magnus

Nah, a laugh's a laugh.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah, no. I was just choking on helicopter fuel.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah. Well, I'm off to see Sally. Hey, what kind of thank-you gift do you get for a mermaid?

Helen Magnus

Oh! She really likes it if you swim with her.

Will Zimmerman

Huh... I'll get my suit.

Helen Magnus

Ah... [smiles] No suit.
