- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: [Referring to Houdini] That man is an arrogant little git!
- Detective William Murdoch: Can't arrest him for that, sir.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Another flaw in the justice system.
- Harry Houdini: [Because the police have no hard evidence against him] I'll say good evening, gentlemen.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: I'm watching you, Harold.
- Harry Houdini: [Hearing the name Harold makes him stop and turn arround] Harry. Harry Houdini. Soon everyone will know my name.
- Inspector Thomas Brackenreid: Not for the reasons you'd like.
- Secretary: Mr. Simms is working late, and he doesn't like to be observed.
- Detective William Murdoch: He'll be in an even worse mood once I'm finished with him.
