- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: [about going to investigate a murder on an army base] Just mind that you stand your ground.
- Detective William Murdoch: I'm sorry, sir.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Well, in my experience the military takes care of its own. They won't enjoy the constabulary lookin' into their business.
- Detective William Murdoch: I'll proceed with respect and authority of law.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: [Soberly] Authority first, Murdoch. Respect will follow.
- Mr. Skinner: [Annoyed that Murdoch wants to question him] Will this take long, Detective? I have thirsty patrons needing eye-openers.
- Dr. Llewllyn Francis: Is that everything?
- Detective William Murdoch: No, Doctor, might you enlighten me with the common symptoms of this sleeping sickness.
- Dr. Llewllyn Francis: No. Fever - headache - death. Now that's a symptom you don't want to ignore.
