Oh, wow. I hope you're not watching this after the zombie apocalypse. But if you are, you remember, they are very slow, and they can't climb trees. Also, a good cricket bat to the head works wonders, so... Oh, man, you're going to grow up in England! You're going to actually have a cricket bat, and an accent. My kid is gonna have an accent. That is awesome! [pause] This is going really well.
“The Depths” · Season 4, Episode 11
In this episode: Doctor Helen Magnus (6), Doctor Will Zimmerman (6), Henry Foss (2)
Fine, so it's standard operating procedure, Helen Magnus style, I guess!
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
You know, "Once more into the breach, for England," et cetera, et cetera. No matter how stupid dangerous it is! I'm saying this is not the first time I've been stuck in a bad place with you.
I'm sick of being the expendable human on the ticket!
This is war for you. Living under combat conditions.
Imagine doing it for five lifetimes!
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.
[watches him walk away, then softly] I think about it every day.
You can't get close to anybody, because you're just going to lose them, right?
Would you blame me if that were true?
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.
That's ridiculous--
John Druitt.
You can't even begin to judge that--
Griffin, Watson, and now me. Are we all just expendable in your mind? Is that how you cope? [pause] Ashley?
[crying] You bastard.
You have to keep me moving, no matter what you have to do or say to me.
Said one junkie to the other.
See, the thing is, I, uh, I don't really remember anything about my parents. I don't even know what happened to them. The world can be a pretty dangerous place for folks like us. I thought it was getting better, but, uh, now, not so much. So I just, I wanted you to know, you know, if something did happen to me, and I wasn't able to take care of you... I just didn't want you to go through life wondering what kind of guy I was.
Believe me, Will. If I could control life like a bloody chess game, a lot of things would have turned out very differently.
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.
And?
Many disasters, most brilliant.
