- Lindsay Ward: You know, Toronto is a world-class city. Driving in from the airport on the... 401? The 401... we had passed an overturned tanker truck that crushed a car. Evidently, three people were killed. I was just passing as a civilian, not in a news capacity at all, there were three dead!

- George Findlay: [George is trying to convince Jim that hiring a female co-anchor is a good thing] You're going to be brilliant at this! OK? Now, I wanna tell you something. If you don't like this woman, she's gone. You have my word.
- Jim Walcott: Your word... ok.
