Dr. Julia Ogden quotes from Murdoch Mysteries

Dr. Julia Ogden

I'm sorry it took so long but I rarely get the chance to examine an electrocution victim.

I suspect it will become less rare in the next while.

Dr. Ogden

And what sort of writer kills off his finest creation?

One which does not want to be shackled to his own creation.

He was a sodomite?

Dr. Ogden

William, I believe the term we use now is homosexual.

Dr. Ogden

Really, Murdoch! I'm surprised at your close-mindedness.

Leaving the Bible aside...

Dr. Ogden

Yes, could we?

...it goes against nature.

Dr. Ogden

Oh, rubbish! Nature is full of omnisexual behavior! Have you never seen male dogs at play?

But those are dogs.

Dr. Ogden

We're all animals, William! Behaving as nature intended. If God didn't want us to express our desires, why would He give us desires in the first place?

To test our resolve.

Dr. Ogden

At whose expense?

She seems to be bearing up quite well.

Dr. Ogden

When you're a Fairchild, you can never let your emotions show.
