Quotes 

• Nick Cutter : Connor Temple, Abby Maitland, this is Captain Becker. He's here to protect us so do what he says.

  [Connor and Abby look et each other puzzled as Cutter turns away] 

  Nick Cutter : Unless I think he's wrong.

• Sarah Page : I can't believe I saw Ammut, well, what the Egyptians thought was Ammut, a genuine living legend.

  Nick Cutter : [Having an epiphany]  Legends. If anomalies have appeared in the past, and they have, if Pristichampsus is sunning itself on the banks of the Nile 3,000 years ago, that's the stuff of legend.

• Sarah Page : I assume you're some kind of thief?

  Nick Cutter : Actually, I'm a professor.

  Sarah Page : I've never seen a professor with a gun before.

  Nick Cutter : ...It's a pretty specialized field.

• Sarah Page : Bow.

  Nick Cutter : What?

  Sarah Page : Bow down.

  Nick Cutter : What are you talking about?

  Sarah Page : This creature is used to being treated like a god - they would have bowed as a sign of respect.

  Abby Maitland : If it doesn't think we're a threat, it might not attack.

  Captain Becker : I'm not bowing.

• Jenny Lewis : What happened to Stephen; it wasn't your fault.

  Nick Cutter : Yeah, I know. It was Helen's.

  Jenny Lewis : Then, why are you blaming yourself?

  Nick Cutter : Because I should have stopped her. That's my job.

  Jenny Lewis : But you can't change the past.

  Nick Cutter : Yeah. You don't know the half of it, Claudia Brown.

• Nick Cutter : [Hunting a Creature, on the phone with Connor]  We're heading south. I think we've got him.

  Captain Becker : Tell him I'm on my way.

  Connor Temple : Action man says he's coming.

• Nick Cutter : I would like you to join us here at the Anomaly Research Centre. I want you working on the source of all the great myths. Where they were first spotted, when, by whom. Can you find a pattern?

  [Sara thinks] 

  Nick Cutter : Or you can go back to lecturing schoolkids. Your choice.

  Sarah Page : Okay, I'm in.

  Nick Cutter : Great news.

  James Lester : I feel safer already.
