Quotes 

• Brian : This is our main research laboratory.

  Ashka : It's very impressive.

  Anna : Hello, I'm Anna.

  [Ashka ignores Anna to examine the power suit 2.0] 

  Ashka : You must have been up all night, Mr. Reynolds.

  Brian : Thanks for everything, Anna. That'll be all for now.

  [Anna leaves] 

  Brian : It's Brian Reynolds.

  Ashka : What?

  Brian : You can call me Brian.

  Ashka : Oh, of course, you have two names. Yan can call me... Anna. Yes, I have the same name as your servant.

  Brian : I wouldn't call her that while she's around.

• [after tests where the power suit has attracted metal tools and repelled bar magnets] 

  Brian : If we can build a suit that can generate enough power, it could repel the Earth's magnetic field. The suit would be able to fly.

• Brian : Paul, this is Anna Harley.

  [the office chair turn around to reveal...] 

  Ashka : Hello, Paul.

• [Ashka has gone to Brian's lab with power suit blueprints] 

  Ashka : My name is Harley. My husband was a... person who dug under the ground for old things. I am from Iceland, I don't your world for this.

  Brian : Archaeologist.

  Ashka : Ah yes, archaeologist. On our last digging, under an old castle, we found this.

  [shows him the Spellbinder book] 

  Ashka : My husband was very excited by the discovery, but very soon after we found the book, he came down with a fever and died.

  Brian : I'm sorry to hear that. But why did you bring the book to me?

  Ashka : My husband believed the book to contain powerful and ancient secrets. He said we would need a clever scientist to decipher them.

  Brian : [looking through the book]  What language is this?

  Ashka : From Iceland, but very old. I can read it, but I don't understand science.

  Brian : This looks like the wiring diagram for a voltage amplifier. How old is this book.

  Ashka : At least two hundred years.

  Brian : That's ridiculous. They didn't possess that kind of circuitry then.

  Ashka : We also found this. The book calls it a power stone. It is the energy source for this: the power suit.

  [Brian tests the power stone with a voltmeter and it shorts out] 

  Brian : Never seen a battery this small so powerful.

  Ashka : If we work together, I'm sure we can unlock its secret. Will you help me?
