- Constable George Crabtree: [Looking at the murdered body off-camera and referring to the coroner] What do you think he'll have to say about the cause of Mr. Jenkins' death?
- Detective William Murdoch: [Sarcastically] With his gift for stating the obvious, he'll no doubt conclude that this was not a case of poisoning.
- [the camera then tilts downward to reveal Jenkins' head with a large hole in it]
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: [sarcastically while looking at a list of names on Murdoch's blackboard] Oh, good! A chart!
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Sir, in a case with ten suspects, careful organization of information is paramount.
- Dr. Llewllyn Francis: [With resentment toward Murdoch] You know, Detective, from the first day I arrived, you have almost without exception shown a complete lack of faith in me. I'd like to ask you now why the hell that is.
- Detective William Murdoch: It's not a lack of faith in you.
- Detective William Murdoch: [to Brackenreid] Sir, the guilty rarely volunteer their motive or undercut their alibi.
- Dr. Llewllyn Francis: [sarcastically after being asked a question by Murdoch] I'll know better when I've flushed and drained the wound back at the morgue, my home away from home... away from home.
