- Constable George Crabtree: [Referring to Rowena] Sir, you're not going to let her leave?
- Detective William Murdoch: She's not leaving us, George. She's leading us.
- Constable George Crabtree: [Coming in out of the rain] Rotten old night out there. The rain's got the sewers backed up. There are rats as big as pumpkins roaming the streets.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Bloody Hell! Maybe there really is a ghost.
- Detective William Murdoch: Sir, you really don't believe that, do you?
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: I grew up near the Yorkshire Moors. There's more ghosts than sheep.
- Ronald Beaton: I had assumed Chauncy killed himelf.
- Detective William Murdoch: Why assume that?
- Ronald Beaton: Suidide runs in the family.
- Detective William Murdoch: What have you learnt, George?
- Constable George Crabtree: Quite a lot, actually, sir. Would you like to ask me questions, or shall I regale you?
- Detective William Murdoch: I sense you are in a regaling mood.
- Constable George Crabtree: You would be correct.
- Detective William Murdoch: Right then, George, you and Higgins take the east wing, the inspector and I will take the west wing, and we'll reconvene here in the morning.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Keep the chat down. We don't want to scare the ghost away.
- Constable George Crabtree: Oh sir, I suspect the reverse is more likely.
- Constable Henry Higgins: [stops Crabtree] Did you just shiver?
- Constable George Crabtree: Yes.
- Constable Henry Higgins: They say that when you shiver suddenly, it means a ghost just passed through you.
- Constable George Crabtree: How do they know that?
- Constable Henry Higgins: [pause] I don't know.
- Constable George Crabtree: [pause] Sounds speculative.
- Constable Henry Higgins: Perhaps.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: I don't believe in ghosts per se but who's to say what goes on?
- Detective William Murdoch: Ah! The George Crabtree philosophy.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Very funny, Murdoch.
- Detective William Murdoch: Detective Murdoch, Toronto Constabulary. Identify yourself.
- Ronald Beaton: Ronald Beaton. Brother of the... deceased. I take it he is... deceased?
