- Dr. Julia Ogden: You must be relieved, William.
- Detective William Murdoch: I have to admit, I'm somewhat disappointed. I was quite enjoying our little research product.
- [Julia chuckles]
- Detective William Murdoch: The thought of discovering a new species...
- Dr. Julia Ogden: Oh, William, you'll find your dinosaur yet; I'm sure of it.
- [she removes her stockings]
- Detective William Murdoch: Julia, there are people everywhere.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: How ridiculous it is that women should have to wear black woolen stockings in this heat!
- Detective William Murdoch: You are being very scandalous, young lady.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: Yes, I am. Aren't I?
- [she runs into the water, followed by Murdoch and they start roughhousing]
- Dr. Julia Ogden: My hair!
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Lads, you wouldn't believe it if you'd seen it yourselves: a great, long creature, scales, sharp teeth, huge, saucer-like eyes, red-rimmed and full of lust for blood. Crabtree, what do you know about this demon in the lake?
- Constable George Crabtree: I'm not entirely convinced, sir.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: You don't believe in sea monsters?
- Constable George Crabtree: Well, obviously, there are monsters in the sea, sir; that's why they call them sea monsters. But I've never heard of any lake monsters. I just can't imagine anything so dastardly living in fresh water.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Crabtree, wait a minute. You're telling me that you believe in zombies, werewolves, vampires, Martians, Venusians, curses, voodoo, ghosts, and, apparently, sea monsters. But a creature in Lake Ontario that both I and Detective Murdoch have witnessed is beyond the scope of your otherwise vivid imagination. You're telling me that?
- Constable George Crabtree: Sir, I can't attest to what you witnessed. I'm afraid I remain a skeptic.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: William, it's much more fun to believe in possibility than to be discouraged by the improbability.
- Constable George Crabtree: Sir, can I ask you a personal question?
- Detective William Murdoch: Yes?
- Constable George Crabtree: Well, how is it that you don't feel the heat?
- Detective William Murdoch: I assure you, George, I am quite uncomfortable.
- Constable George Crabtree: But sir, it's just that I'm fairly soaked through with sweat here, and you've nary a hair out of place.
- Detective William Murdoch: I believe in propriety, George, no matter the temperature.

- Dr. Julia Ogden: Ten o'clock and it's already ninety degrees.
- James Bennett: Nothing as cooling as a genuine Snow Ball straight from the streets of Baltimore. I recommend the egg custard.
- Dr. Julia Ogden: Then that is what I shall have.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: I know what I saw.
- Detective William Murdoch: With all due respect, sir, what the whiskey saw.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: It was ale, Murdoch. Who in their right mind would drink whiskey at the beach?
