Murdoch Mysteries2008

Professor Otranto:
[Murdoch enters a dance studio. Looking around he sees a few couples dancing, stiffly, with one another. Off screen he hears... ] You must be Mr. Murdoch.

Inspector William Murdoch:
[Murdoch spins to see Professor Otranto approaching] That's correct.

Professor Otranto:
Then welcome. I am Professor Otranto and I will make you a dancer.

Inspector William Murdoch:
Uh, well, good.

Professor Otranto:
That is what you want, is it not?

Inspector William Murdoch:
I simply was hoping to improve my technique.

Professor Otranto:
Very well. But, first, we must evaluate your abilities. Catarina?

[Otranto beckons Catarina, a nearby young woman, to join them]

Inspector William Murdoch:
Evaluate?

[Catarina steps in front of Murdoch]

Professor Otranto:
Assume the position, sir.

Inspector William Murdoch:
Uh, which position would that be?

Professor Otranto:
Catarina...

[Catarina quickly moves next to Murdoch and places his hands on her hip]

Professor Otranto:
Now, dance.

[Murdoch awkwardly leads Catarina onto the floor. Otranto continues, to himself, before following Murdoch onto the floor]

Professor Otranto:
There is much work to be done here.
