What lies in the shadow of the statue?

Ille qui nos omnes servabit

which means "He who will protect us all"

Latin students will be careful not to confuse the verb servo, servare - “protect, keep” (it’s the root of English words like “conserve” and “preserve"), with the almost-homophone servio, servire - “to serve". The writers probably didn’t intend a double meaning in Richard’s answer, but given the amount of speculation this show fosters, I’ll leave it for others to decide.

Thanks for finding this. My fiance was yakking in my ear on the phone when Richard said the line and I didn't feel like telling him to shut up. ;-) The poor guy has had a bad bout of poison ivy but I couldn't sacrifice my show for him all night long.
