The Things We Bury (2014)

Kyle MacLachlan: Calvin Zabo

Quotes 

• Calvin Zabo : [Talking about Whitehall]  He thinks the Diviner is just a weapon, he has no idea of its true power, of what's inside. Oh, there's something inside.

  Phil Coulson : What are we talking about? Tesseract level power?

  Calvin Zabo : Sure. I don't know what that is.

• Calvin Zabo : Conquer? You heard "Conquer"? I think you got a bad translation. The way I understand it, it was "end" - to end mankind. Sparing a chosen few, needless to say.

  Daniel Whitehall : Hmm. And that's why it's called the Diviner.

  Calvin Zabo : Yeah. It decides who lives, who dies... who will inherit the Earth.

  Daniel Whitehall : And only someone who can carry the Diviner, is allowed to enter the city.

  Calvin Zabo : Or more importantly, the temple inside. But *I* can get you in.

  Daniel Whitehall : And if I let you take a team, where will you take them? How do you intend to find this city?

  Calvin Zabo : Well, I'll have to look everywhere really, really hard.

  Daniel Whitehall : I'm not giving you men and money on the off chance that you'll find this place. Or if you do, that you'll not take its true power for yourself.

  Calvin Zabo : Me?

  [scoffs] 

  Calvin Zabo : Nah! No, I'm not management material. I'll leave that power part to you.

  Daniel Whitehall : Then why? What do you have to gain?

  Calvin Zabo : I have nothing to lose. I've lost everything important to me. And I want to kill those who took it... and finally be reunited with my family.

  Daniel Whitehall : Reunited?

  Calvin Zabo : In the afterlife.

• The Doctor : [Talking about the obelisk]  Tell me what you do know, sir, and I'll fill in the blanks.

  Daniel Whitehall : I know that a special few can touch it without suffering. But I have yet to figure out how this weapon can be...

  The Doctor : [Interrupts]  Weapon? That's so small-minded.

  [Retracts slightly] 

  The Doctor : Uh, for someone with such a big mind. It's a key. It can kill, sure, but only to protect itself from those it doesn't divine... hence the catchy name... to be worthy.

  Daniel Whitehall : I'm interested in science, doctor, not folklore.

  The Doctor : [Continues]  ... Worthy of unlocking its true power.

  [Whitehall perks up] 

  The Doctor : Oh, I got your attention. There's a place, and if one of those special people you speak of takes this Diviner to that special place, it won't just kill. It will do something... scientifically speaking... much, much cooler.
