Inspector Brackenreid : You heard about that job yet that you applied for?
Inspector William Murdoch : Not yet.
Inspector Brackenreid : I see. I'd like you to reconsider.
Inspector William Murdoch : Sir?
Inspector Brackenreid : This is a good station-house, and for reasons beyond me the men seem to think the world of you. And it's also plain to see that I could clearly use a good right-hand
[looks at left arm in sling]
Inspector Brackenreid : left-hand man to keep me out of trouble.
Inspector William Murdoch : I also suspect that, as you warned me, I wouldn't care much for the... politics involved with the job.
Inspector Brackenreid : No, you wouldn't.
Inspector William Murdoch : In that case, it would be my honour to continue to serve here at Station-house Number 4.
Inspector Brackenreid : I'll inform the Chief Constable of your decision.
Inspector William Murdoch : Thank you, sir.
[goes to door]
Inspector William Murdoch : And the raise, sir?
Inspector Brackenreid : Don't push your luck, Murdoch.
Inspector William Murdoch : Right, then.

Inspector Brackenreid : What did Stockton want to speak to you about?
Inspector William Murdoch : He suggested I apply for the Inspector position coming open at Station Number 3.

Inspector William Murdoch : I think my record speaks for itself.
Inspector Brackenreid : Murdoch, you're a bloody good copper, and you've got a mind like no-one else I've ever met, but trust me - you're not cut out for the shite that comes with the job.

MC at Police Chiefs' Dinner : Gentlemen, it is my distinct honour to introduce our keynote speaker, Inspector Thomas Brackenreid.
Inspector Brackenreid : Gentlemen, those of us at Police Station Number 4 of the Toronto Constabulary had never been confronted by such a puzzling crime. The victim was found in a windowless room that was locked from the inside. But that was not the most baffling part. The victim had been electrocuted; yet the room had no electricity. All that was out of the ordinary was a shattered jar, a chain, a wooden disc and some foil. It soon became apparent that the victim had been killed by a Leyden jar.
Chief Stockton : A question, Inspector.
Inspector Brackenreid : Chief Constable Stockton. Of course.
Chief Stockton : What is a Leyden jar?
Inspector Brackenreid : Ah, it's a device for storing electric charge.
Chief Stockton : Then it's a battery.
Inspector Brackenreid : No, no, it's... its a...
[consults his notes]
Inspector Brackenreid : Ahem, it's a capacitor.
Chief Stockton : What's a capacitor?
Inspector Brackenreid : A device for storing electric charge.
Chief Stockton : Then it's a battery.
Inspector Brackenreid : Well.
Inspector William Murdoch : Inspector, if I may interject?
Inspector Brackenreid : Of course. Detective William Murdoch, Gentlemen.
