[Murdoch is throwing his golf clubs, one by one, into the water hazard]
Dr. Julia Ogden : Wiliam...
Detective William Murdoch : Just leave me, Julia. This is something I must do on my own.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Golf is a cruel mistress, Murdoch. It holds a man under its spell. I could believe that he hit the ball into the woods on purpose, then killed himself just to get away from the game.
Detective William Murdoch : Golf seems little more than a distraction, sir. I can hardly believe that it would drive a man to suicide.
[Brackenreid picks up a club]
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Seems like fun at first. Just one good round. Even one good shot. And you're hooked. You become a slave to it. For hours and hours, day after day, you hit the ball towards the hole. You hit the ball towards the hole. On and on. Gets into your head. It consumes you. All you can think about's hitting the damn ball into the damn hole!
[hands Murdoch the club]
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Golf is a curse, Murdoch. Don't you forget it.

Detective William Murdoch : What of Mr. Benedict's foursome?
George Lyon : Loyal friends. They do circumvent course policy on one matter, though. They play four-ball golf for money.
Detective William Murdoch : Oh. Any significant sums?
George Lyon : Sometimes up to fifty cents a hole.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : There's a churlish Scotsman sitting in your office.
Detective William Murdoch : Churlish? How so?
Inspector Thomas Brackenreid : Well, he's a Scotsman, isn't he?
