- Detective William Murdoch: It would appear I have to thank you. Your penchant for not listening to me has once again...
- Dr. Julia Ogden: I'm just so glad you're safe, William.
- Detective William Murdoch: You saved my life, Julia.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: Tit for tat, I suppose.
- [they are about to kiss when Brackenreid enters]
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Dr. Ogden. You never cease to surprise me.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: However do you mean, Inspector?
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Well, my best man was in dire straits, and you took it as an opportunity for a spot of canoodling.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: It's called mouth on mouth resuscitation, Inspector. A technique employed by Swiss doctors to resuscitate babies. I did it only to save William's life.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Of course you did, Dr. Ogden. Of course you did.
- Constable Henry Higgins: George, I've heard of wireless telegraphy.
- Constable George Crabtree: Well, Henry, how can you be so completely lacking in awe? We're no longer constrained by wires now. We can send messages over electromagnetic waves that... that spread in all directions!

- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Someone with a grudge, perhaps?
- Clarence MacFarlane: Sir, I'm a successful man. I have more enemies than I do friends.
