** QUADRUPLE JEOPARDY! ** Which character said, "For God's sake, find me some of the old!"
Who is Dr. Jekyll and/or Mr. Hyde? Dr. Jekyll wrote this to his servants from behind his cabinet door in chapter 8 (The Last Night). He was requesting that they find more of the "old" chemical because the "new" chemical was not pure and was not performing the action he needed it to perform.

Which character said, "Did you ever remark that door? It is connected in my mind with a very odd story."
Who is Mr. Enfield? Mr. Enfield evokes Mr. Utterson's interest in the Jekyll/Hyde situation in Chapter One (The Story of the Door) by making this statement, which leads to the story of the door. This is the inciting incident (if Utterson did not hear this story, he likely would not have gotten himself involved).

"If he shall be Mr. Hyde, I shall be Mr. Seek" is an example of this.
What is a pun? A pun is a form of word play in which a word suggests two or more meanings. (Example: "Doctors tell us there are close to 1 million patients who are overweight. This is just a round figure, of course.") <-- In this example, "round" could have two meanings, one of which is comical. Mr. Utterson says this in chapter 2 (Search for Mr. Hyde), providing comic relief but also elucidating the symbolic meaning of Mr. Hyde's name (symbolic for the "hidden" elements of man)
