Sanctuary, Season 1

Helen Magnus:
I work with sentient beings, each worthy of the same respect that humans, even animals, receive automatically. These creatures are the key to the evolution of our race, past and future, and yet we revile them, destroy them. And worst of all, pretend they don't even exist. But they are out there, Dr. Zimmerman. Lost, like the child you saw tonight. Misunderstood, hunted... and they need our help, your help.

Will Zimmerman:
[sighs] I- I still don't understand why you would come to me.

Helen Magnus:
Because I need someone who can see beyond the surface, see the world as it really is.

Will Zimmerman:
I profile criminals, not monsters.

Helen Magnus:
[laughs] You can't see the irony in that statement?
