Yannick Bisson: Detective William Murdoch
Quotes
-
Lady Minerva : I only know what the cards tell me.
Detective William Murdoch : Begging your pardon, but cards don't speak. They're made in a printing shop.
Lady Minerva : Do you believe in God, Detective?
Detective William Murdoch : Of course.
Lady Minerva : God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, did he not?
Detective William Murdoch : What of it?
Lady Minerva : If God spoke to Moses through a burning bush, why shouldn't he speak through cards? Are you so arrogant as to assume you know the ways of God?
Detective William Murdoch : No, I just don't think God speaks through you.
-
Constable George Crabtree : You ever dream about joining the circus as a boy?
Detective William Murdoch : No, I didn't, George.
Constable George Crabtree : I did. It's because I'm an adventure seeker, which is why I became a cop apparently. At least that's what Lady Minervaa said.
Detective William Murdoch : Lady Minerva?
Constable George Crabtree : She's the gypsy fortune teller.
Detective William Murdoch : I highly doubt she's a true fortune teller, George.
Constable George Crabtree : Oh, sir, I believe she is. She knew I was a foundling, and she wasn't guessing. It was in the cards.
Detective William Murdoch : Did she have anything relevant to say about the case?
Constable George Crabtree : She believes the tiger is innocent.
Detective William Murdoch : All animals are innocent, George, humans excepted.
-
Detective William Murdoch : [Speaking on Murdoch's theory that the now dead tiger was being deliberately starved] So, someone could have taken the food away, then...
Bob Selby : I don't see how, Detective. If a hand came between Saber and his food, guaranteed that hand would be a goner.
-
Count Leoline : [speaking of the murdered Kitty] I would have given my life for hers.
Detective William Murdoch : Well, Count, you may yet get that chance.
