Quotes 

• Harry Dresden : [Yelling in a Police District full of people]  I got a message from beyond the grave.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : [Whispering]  Get out.

  Harry Dresden : Well, give me the file and I'll be gone.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : I can't do that.

  Harry Dresden : You're a cop, Murphy, you can do anything.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : I can't make you go away.

• Harry Dresden : Most people will drop it, right here, right now, no questions asked. Unfortunately, I'm not most people. When someone says stop, somewhere between my ear and my brain, what I hear is "full speed ahead."

• Bob : [after Harry has explained that he got beaten up by a ghost]  Maybe she wanted company. You know, I'm not doing anything. Maybe I could find her frequency. Chat her up.

  Harry Dresden : Her father would love that.

  Bob : It could be our secret.

• [first lines] 

  Harry Dresden : [narrating]  Putting "Wizard" on your door is like putting up a sign that says "Lunatics Welcome." Not that all my clients are crazy. But they all think I'm a little crazy. They ask me to cast spells, move objects without touching them, and of course see dead people. Hey, don't get me wrong, I can do most of that stuff, but when it comes to dealing with ghosts, let's just say I'd rather get a root canal.

• [referring to Bob] 

  Harry Dresden : Not all ghosts are spooky, or have unfinished business. Some are just annoying. Especially when the ghost has 1,000 years of supernatural knowledge he feels compelled to share. Constantly.

• Harry Dresden : She won't move on. She wanted me to see that Boone was on a mission. Oh, something's not right.

  Bob : Oh, I see another quixotic crusade looming on the horizon.

  Harry Dresden : So do I.

• [Pulling a bag from an evidence box and reading the label] 

  Marie : A fragmented 14 by 10 inch Egyptian tablet known as "The Lock of Anabass... Ane...?"

  Harry Dresden : Anubis, the Egyptian god of the dead. It had the body of a man and the head of a jackal.

  Marie : My, my. Well, I wouldn't care what his head looked like as long as he had the ass of Brad Pitt.

• Harry Dresden : He needs a clearer picture of how Boone died.

  Edward Miller : In an explosion of blood and brain matter.

• [the lights in Charles's shop suddenly go out when Harry discovers a clue] 

  Charles Harding : Lisa? Was that Lisa?

  Harry Dresden : I think that was a nudge in the right direction.

• Lucas Sabin : Have you ever been to prison, Mr. Dresden?

  Harry Dresden : No.

  Lucas Sabin : Violence and tedium - they are the major threats against health and sanity. As it turned out, Boone was a reasonable protection against both. During the day, he watch my back and at night he listened to my ramblings. Over time I believe he actually grew to appreciate my particular interests.

  Harry Dresden : Those being ancient Egyptian funerary rights?

  Lucas Sabin : It's not a crime.

  Harry Dresden : Not unless you practice on live people.

• Harry Dresden : [narrating]  Dying hadn't changed Gus Boone a bit. He was still a thug and an armed robber - and now he'd stolen Murphy's body and I had to get him out before he traded her in for a new model.

• Bob : Harry, that's black magic and you cannot afford to dabble in the black!

  Harry Dresden : I need a way to convince Boone that he can run, but he can't hide. With th...

  Bob : With that you run the risk of alerting the High Council and falling prey to your darker desires.

  Harry Dresden : Do I have a choice? Huh? I got a dead billionaire. I got a possessed cop. I got a psychotic killer on the loose and in four hours, he''s going to meet up with a Vegas tycoon and he's going to jump into him and, in the process, he's going to blow Murphy's brains out! Now, have you got any better advice, Bob?

• Bob : That Egyptian mumbo-jumbo's not my forte.

  Harry Dresden : No... It's Saban's.

• [referring to the Tablet of Anubis] 

  Harry Dresden : So, it's like a get out of death free card.

  Lucas Sabin : If you need such an imbecilic crutch to grasp the concept, yes.

• [Boone has inhabited Murphy's body] 

  Lt. Connie Murphy : You're not dead.

  Harry Dresden : I'm a wizard - deal with it.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : Really?

  Harry Dresden : Uh-huh. Really truly.

• Charles Harding : Whatever it is that you do - is it real?

  Harry Dresden : Yeah.

  Charles Harding : And how long have you been doing it.

  Harry Dresden : Since I was a kid.

  Charles Harding : And do you always help people.

  Harry Dresden : Not always. Especially one time with an uncle. He had other ideas about how best to use my abilities.

  Charles Harding : Where is he now?

  Harry Dresden : Dead.

• [last lines] 

  Lt. Connie Murphy : Could you made me a promise?

  Harry Dresden : Yeah.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : After tonight, if I go back to work...

  Harry Dresden : Hey! When...

  Lt. Connie Murphy : ...when. Promise you will never lie to me about anything... ever... again.

  Harry Dresden : Murphy.

  Lt. Connie Murphy : Goodnight, Harry.

  Harry Dresden : Murphy...

• Lt. Connie Murphy : Harry, I keep dreaming about you.

  Harry Dresden : Good dreams, bad dreams, what you got?

  Lt. Connie Murphy : I don't know. Sometimes you're pretty scary in them; other times not so much. But in all of them you're... performing.

  Harry Dresden : Like on a stage or what?

  Lt. Connie Murphy : Like miracles. Weird, huh?

  Harry Dresden : Yeah, that's weird.

• Marie : Gus Boone. He served five years for aggravated assault and he got out and he killed a girl the next day. He got what he deserved. Blown to bits by one of Chicago's most eligible batchelors, Edward Miller.

  Harry Dresden : Who is this guy?

  Marie : Well, if you were a single woman you'd know. But you're a single man, right? How's you salami? Sandwich, I mean.

• Charles Harding : Boone, Gus Boone. He'd just gotten out of prison. There used to be a jewelry store next door. The police think maybe he got confused, came in here and panicked. Killed Lisa. And then took something he though he could sell.

  Harry Dresden : What was that?

  Charles Harding : An engraved stone tablet - Egyptian. I had it under glass. It must have caught his eye, but he dropped it in the alley. The cops found it smashed to pieces.

  Harry Dresden : Cops caught the guy?

  Charles Harding : No.

  Harry Dresden : Well, if Lisa's killer went unpunished that might be enough to keep her spirit here.

  Charles Harding : Boone is dead. He left here and he carjacked a guy at gunpoint. There was a struggle. Boone's shotgun went off in his own face.

• [Boone's shots at Harry lodge in his bracelet] 

  Harry Dresden : Hey, what do ya know? I'm alive. Saved by one of the tools of the trade - the shield bracelet I inherited from my mother. Thanks, Mom!

• Harry Dresden : Can you check the garlic bread?

  Bob : Why? I'm not eating.
