Sanctuary Season 1 Episode 11

Henry: I'm just sayin', chicks love dudes who go on missions.

Zach: Well, maybe there's a good reason why the cops are coming down here, like the fact that something dangerous is going on. You said some people died, right?
Amy: Right, which means something very cool and newsworthy is going on. And whoever gets the exclusive on this is gonna be in the driver's seat for a network job.
Zach: Okay, that's really cool. It's just, you know … You're a weathergirl.
Amy: Meteorologist, and Bill O'Reilly started as a weatherman. Dan Rather was a sportscaster. All you need is one big break. This, my friend, is mine.

Amy: Witnesses said some kind of lizard or something escaped from a cargo ship and attacked some people. So, we get the exclusive footage on the recapture, I get a promotion, you get a raise.
Zach: I don't want a raise, Amy, I want to live!
Amy: Seriously, Zach, just man up, okay? We'll be fine.
Zach: Oh, Yeah … No … I'm not gonna man up … We're (blood dips on Amy from a dead body above her) Holy … Holy crap!

Amy: (to Zach) Look, whatever is going on here, it's bigger than we first thought. The higher the body count, the better chance whatever we file will get picked up nationally. So just grow a pair, will ya?

Amy: I am a journalist, and he will stop filming when I say so, not you. People have a right to know the truth.
Ashley: Not this truth they don't. If you guys stick around, it'll get messy, trust me.
Will: Look, we can't baby-sit them, it's too dangerous.
Ashley: I say we tranq 'em, stuff 'em in a crate. Wake them when we're done.

Amy: Well, the point is, they are part of the story now, too. Not just the creature. We need to learn as much about them as we can.
Zach: Yeah, but you said you were going to give all the footage back to Dr. Magnus.
Amy: Yeah, I told her that just so she wouldn't toss us out of here.
Zach: Oh, great, so now you're totally playing her?
Amy: Look … we get footage of them bagging this thing, sell it to the highest bidder, this is Brangelina money, okay. This is way bigger than we thought.

Helen: It's definitely larger and faster than I'd anticipated.
Will: Yeah, and more dangerous, but I'm guessing you still want to take it alive.
Helen: It's incredibly invaluable intact. If we can do it without more collateral damage, I think we should try.
Will: And if not?
Helen: People are dead. If we have to, we kill it.

Helen: Go with tranq rounds only. Everyone's armed. You too, Will. We hit it enough times, we should bring it down. Failing that, the gloves come off, and we switch to live ammo. Two teams. Ashley and Henry, take the journalist, Will and I will take the cameraman.
Amy: Who will keep taping.
Helen: Absolutely. If we do have to kill it, I want as much detailed footage of its anatomy as possible. Thorax and mandible, preferably. Also images of its pincers and anterior skeletal protrusions would be very helpful.
Zach: Yeah, yeah. Man … What's a pin …What's a pincer?

Amy: Hey, Harry, how's it going?
Henry: It's Henry.
Amy: Right. Um, is this really your first mission? Because you seem awfully calm and confident, and look at all this amazing technology you've designed …
Henry: Oh. Okay, so I know what you're doing. Because you know I'm a big fanboy, and, uh, you're trying to use your feminine wiles to get me to tell you things that I can't tell you, but I can't tell you.

Zach: I know this is probably the worst timing in the history of the world, but, uh, is there any way that you and I could go out, you know, for something to eat, or a drink, or, like a matcha or something like that? Tea?
Ashley: Um … I'm flattered …
Zach: Zach.
Ashley: Zach, right. Uh, I don't - I don't go out on dates … much.
Zach: Yeah, yeah, I know, me neither. I'm not trying to put you on the spot. It's just the possibility of me dying, just … it always brings out the desperado in me.
Ashley: Right. Rain check?
Zach: Yeah, great. Great. So … So, are you … you're no a vegetarian, are you?
Ashley: What … why, what are you .. what are you thinking?
Zach: Well, I was just thinking, you know, maybe like some Kobe beef or something.
Ashley: Steaks? Um …

Helen: A neurotoxic venom.
Henry: Oh, that's great. It's not just a bug, it's a giant poisonous bug.

Amy: He just … That thing could do that to all of us.
Helen: I'm sorry. Did you think this was some kind of game? That you could just come here and film some wild event and then, what, enjoy cocktails at some award ceremony?
Amy: I've never seen anyone die before.
Helen: Well, this is what you came for.
