[first lines]

Detective William Murdoch:
I'm merely stating that given that the film was based on a Jules Verne novel, it could pay at least cursory attention to scientific plausibility.

Dr. Julia Ogden:
I believe it's meant for children, William.

Detective William Murdoch:
Precisely. You wouldn't want them to go through life with a distorted understanding of physics.

Dr. Julia Ogden:
So it's not possible to reach the moon by way of cannon?

Detective William Murdoch:
Even if enough force could be summoned, the acceleration would crush you. I can't even begin to discuss the gravitational issues.

Dr. Julia Ogden:
I thought you said you loved this book as a child.

Detective William Murdoch:
Well, I know better now.
