Quotes

The Hound of the Baskervilles

Edit
  • Sherlock Holmes: This, I think, is a two-pipe problem.
  • [last lines]
  • Sherlock Holmes: It's elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.
  • [extending a tray to Watson]
  • Sherlock Holmes: Muffin?
  • Doctor John Watson: Thank you
  • Sherlock Holmes: There is more evil around us here than I have ever encountered before.
  • Sherlock Holmes: The powers of Evil can take many forms. Remember that, Sir Henry, when you're at Baskerville Hall. Do as the legend tells and avoid the moor when the forces of darkness are exalted.
  • Sir Henry: I can understand someone wanting to steal a pair of boots - but one? Well, there it is.
  • Sherlock Holmes: The depth a human being can sink to!
  • Sherlock Holmes: My professional charges are upon a fixed scale. I do not vary them, except when I remit them altogether.
  • Sherlock Holmes: [referring to the Stapletons] You had better be off. You mustn't be late for your peasant friends... I hope you enjoy their rabbit pie.
  • Doctor Richard Mortimer: But this is remarkable!
  • Sherlock Holmes: Superficial. There is nothing remarkable about using one's eyes.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Do you imagine that I can influence the powers of darkness?
  • [to Sir Henry Baskerville]
  • Sherlock Holmes: I must insist upon one thing. Under no circumstances are you to go out onto the moors at night.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Elementary, my dear Watson. Tarantulas are not from South Africa.
  • Sherlock Holmes: I never relinquish a case!
  • Stapleton: What do you expect to find down here, Mr. Holmes?
  • Sherlock Holmes: What one expects to find under the ground. Bones, perhaps?
  • [of Sir Henry Baskerville]
  • Sherlock Holmes: I warned him! What could have possessed him to come out here alone?
  • Sherlock Holmes: We've to avenge his death, not mourn over it.
  • [on meeting Dr. Watson]
  • Bishop Basil Frankland: I knew a Watson once, a white slaver...
  • Sherlock Holmes: In a case such as this, everyone is suspect - even Sir Henry.
  • Sherlock Holmes: The dagger's gone! Don't you realize what that means? Sir Henry is to die tonight!
  • Sherlock Holmes: Sir Henry, keep perfectly still...
  • [Pointing to him]
  • Sherlock Holmes: if you value your life.
  • Sir Hugo Baskerville: Let loose the pack!
  • [introducing himself]
  • Bishop Basil Frankland: Bishop of the Upper Isles... for what they're worth.
  • Cecile Stapleton: The Curse of the Hound is on you!
  • Cecile Stapleton: When you're poor, no one wants to know you.
  • Sir Hugo Baskerville: Let the hounds of Hell take me if I can't track her down!
