Harry: "Murphy, don't look! Your delicate, feminine sensibilities couldn't handle it."

Murphy: [peering around him] "What? It's just heartsplosions, Harry. You do remember that I'm a cop, ri--urk! Why are you grabbing me?"

Harry: "I'm trying to catch you and lower you gently to the ground. I know the gruesome scene will give you the vapors any second. There isn't a fainting couch handy, and I didn't want you to swoon into the dirt."

Murphy: [shaking herself free] "Jesus fuckin' Christ, Harry, I'm not swooning."

Harry: "A--a LADY swearing?" [Harry swoons]

Roarke:

Their first meeting would be even better.

Murphy: Harry Dresden, Wizard, I presume?

Harry: Yes, dear lady, that is I. [grabs her hand and kisses it sloppily] How may I assist you on this fine day?

Murphy: [looks around office for a box of tissues] I'm a detective with the Chicago Paranormal Investigations Unit. I need your help solving a missing persons case.

Harry: I see... [picks up phone, hits 911] Hello, yes, operator? There seems to be a woman impersonating a policeman in my office.

Murphy: [to criminal] "You're under arrest."

Harry: "Now, now. I think this little 'I'm a lady-cop' joke has gone on long enough, Murphy. Step aside and let one of the real cops perform the arrest."

Murphy: "For the last time, Dresden, I'm actually a cop."

Harry: [laughing heartily] "Sure you are, sure you are, sweetie."

Murphy: "Goddamnit, Dresden. Do you see my badge and gun?"

Harry: "Gasp! Who let you near a firearm. Quickly, my dear, allow me to remove the dangerous weapon from your person."

Murphy: "Touch it and I punch you."

Harry: [doubling over in laughter] "Ah, another clever joke. As though a member of the fairer sex would stoop to physical violence. Ahahaha..."

Murphy: "....You're lucky you're useful, Dresden."
