Quotes 

• Constable George Crabtree : [on his way out of his shift at the police station, sees Murdoch coming in]  Oh, sir. Is there anything else you'll be needing this evening?

  Detective William Murdoch : I believe that's all. Thank you, George.

  Constable George Crabtree : Okay. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.

  [turns] 

  Detective William Murdoch : [sniffs after Crabtree]  G-George. Is that lavender I smell?

  Constable George Crabtree : [smiles, stretches out his arms]  Cleanliness, sir. Next to godliness.

  [walks away] 

  Detective William Murdoch : I'll remember that.

• Edna Garrison : [opens her door to a slightly nervous Crabtree and is not happy to see him]  Does your detective wish to interrogate me further?

  Constable George Crabtree : Actually, miss, my interests here are strictly personal.

  [reveals the small pot of African violets he has been hiding behind his back] 

  Edna Garrison : I'm afraid my own interests in that regard have waned.

  Constable George Crabtree : [pauses, looks down the hallway, then back at her]  Miss, I'm well aware that the ship between us has sailed.

  [looks at the flowers] 

  Constable George Crabtree : In fact, these flowers were not meant for you.

  Edna Garrison : They're not?

  Constable George Crabtree : No.

  [gives a nervous laugh] 

  Constable George Crabtree : This is very awkward now, but I was hoping to make the acquaintance of your dog.

  [pauses] 

  Constable George Crabtree : Does she like violets?

  Edna Garrison : You've come to call on my... dog?

  Constable George Crabtree : Yes. I was hoping she would walk with me. In fact, I'd be very obliged if you could join us, maybe as chaperone.

  Edna Garrison : [takes the violets from Crabtree, smiles slightly]  Will you wait downstairs?
