Henry Foss quotes from Sanctuary

Henry Foss

Name your price.

Kate Freelander

Never say that to me unless you mean it.

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.

Kate Freelander

Do the cops have one of these gizmos?

Henry Foss

They wish they did.

Henry Foss

[on phone] Destroy your walkie right now!

Helen Magnus

[drops her walkie, stomps on it] Now, tell me why I just did that.

Will Zimmerman

Molly?

Henry Foss

Modified O-wave Linear Expeller.

Will Zimmerman

Doesn't that acronym spell "mole"?

Henry Foss

Molly's hotter.

Will Zimmerman

Dude, it's a weapon, not a woman.

Henry Foss

Hey, clearly you and I have not dated the same girls.

Henry Foss

Your freeware media player created a conflict in the com port access base.

Kate Freelander

Henry, why is it whenever you talk all I hear is "blah, blah, blah, blah"?

Henry Foss

Dude, you cannot be serious.

Don't interfere... dude.

Helen Magnus

Are you all right?

Will Zimmerman

Are you kidding? I love being the bait.

Henry Foss

He's out cold, and the crowd goes wild. Three words, please.

Helen Magnus

Well done, Henry.

Henry Foss

I already know your next question.

Helen Magnus

And I think I already know your answer.

Henry Foss

Why would I bring a retinal scanner to a simple bug pick-up?

Will Zimmerman

A whole lot of nothing. None of these connecting tunnels lead upward.

Henry Foss

Yeah, none of this stuff works down here.

Nikola Tesla

Yay team.

Nikola Tesla

You're aware of the iron deposits in these caves?

Henry Foss

Yeah, what about it?

Nikola Tesla

Highest concentration of natural lodestone in the western hemisphere. To you, it means nothing. To me: manna from heaven.

Helen Magnus

Your magnetic powers.

Will Zimmerman

Here it comes.

Nikola Tesla

Oh come on, I'm just looking for a way back on top. I mean, being a living magnet is not exactly on par with being heir to the greatest race in all of history. It even has a few drawbacks, like if you're not careful, your razor gets stuck on your face. So...what? I'm just looking for a way to turn this pointless ability into something extraordinary.

Henry Foss

So you went after the most powerful natural magnetic substance in the world.

Nikola Tesla

You're damn right I did.

Henry Foss

It makes sense, in an evil way.

Nikola Tesla

Oh, please. Can we stop with the value judgments? [to Henry] Hey, man, live and let live, I say.

Will Zimmerman

You know what I say? I say you got yourself into a little bit of trouble, and you dragged us into the mess too.

Nikola Tesla

So stop whining about it. I thought helping people was part of your job description.

Will Zimmerman

Yeah, people. You, Professor Hidden-Agenda, not so much.

Helen Magnus

We need a way out of here, and we need to keep moving. How's your strength?

Nikola Tesla

Carry me?

Nikola Tesla

Care to assist?

Henry Foss

Hell, yeah! I-I mean, you know, whatever.

Will Zimmerman

Let's take a road trip, just Butch and Sundance.

Henry Foss

What about Magnus and the magnet?

Henry Foss

Who the hell is this guy?

Nikola Tesla

Not one person but two. Prepare to meet Jekyll and Hyde.

Henry Foss

No nasty comments, no sarcastic cracks... you okay?

Nikola Tesla

[slams drawer] No, I'm not okay. It took me - me, mind you - days to-to crack that holographic piñata up in the library, and then, after several bottles of Chablis, I finally get over my humiliation - and now this shipment of fresh hell arrives!

Henry Foss

Okay, find your happy place.

Nikola Tesla

I mean, this is technology… that-that I've never seen before, much less imagined, and… to be brutally honest - and I don't want this getting out - I find it rather humbling, and I don't do humble.

Henry Foss

Copy that.
