[first lines]

Detective William Murdoch:
Certainly is a unique frame, sir.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid:
I got it from home. It was a present from the mother-in-law. All I needed to do was remove the atrocity that was in it.

Detective William Murdoch:
What is that, sir? Mahogany?

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid:
Uhh, well, it's certainly one of the more exotic woods.

Detective William Murdoch:
Yes, it's too dark for teak.

Dr. Julia Ogden:
Why are the two of you talking about the frame when it's the painting that merits attention? I think your use of colour is extraordinary.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid:
You needn't flatter me, doctor. But why exactly do you say so?

Dr. Julia Ogden:
With this painting, I see a creative vision taking hold. You seem to be capturing the essence of the north woods, and not just the actual of it.

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid:
Well, it's not 'alf bad for a copper.

Detective William Murdoch:
I am curious, sir; why did you use blue and pink for the trees?

Inspector Thomas Brackenreid:
Creative vision, Murdoch. Like Dr. Ogden just said. Oh, and, uh, I ran out of the green.
