Constable George Crabtree : The only constant in this investigation is that each wrestler is proved a fraud.
Detective William Murdoch : True. The Cossack isn't Russian, and the chief rivals were actually friends.
Constable George Crabtree : A-a-and in our championship match the other night, i-it involved a fake manoeuvre and a prearranged outcome.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : So? What of it?
Constable George Crabtree : Well, sir, as much as it pains me to say, it's quite possible the entire sport is fake.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Outlandish! Wrestling is a sport of honor and integrity.

Constable George Crabtree : Sirs, you called for me?
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Ah, Crabtree. We wanted to compliment you on a fine piece of work.
Detective William Murdoch : Yes.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Even if your diligence did uncover that professional wrestling is a sham.
Detective William Murdoch : Yes, I doubt fans will continue to follow it so feverishly once the truth reaches them.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Nevertheless, I think it's about time you got measured for a new suit.
Constable George Crabtree : Sir?
Detective William Murdoch : Yes, George, you've been serving in a constable's tunic long enough.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : The neighborhood's coming up, Mr. Chilton. Rents must be a fortune these days.
Mr. Chilton : Quite right, Inspector; tough luck for my tenants.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : You own the building?
Mr. Chilton : I do.
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : How does a barber end up owning the whole building?
Mr. Chilton : Simple. I save ten percent of my earnings and I never buy anything frivolous. Why put a new floor in when you can throw down a rug?
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Tell that to the wife.
Mr. Chilton : [chuckles] How are you planning for your future, Inspector?
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : I put my extra money in Margaret's cookie jar at the end of the month.
