Dr. Mortimer
- Dr. Mortimer: You interest me very much, Mr. Holmes. I had hardly expected so dolichocephalic a skull, or such well-marked supra-orbital development. Would you have any objection to my running my finger along your parietal fissure?
- Sherlock Holmes: *Please*, Dr. Mortimer.
- Dr. Mortimer: A cast of your skull Sir, until the original becomes available?
- [Holmes bursts into laughter]
- Dr. Mortimer: It is not my intention to be fulsome, but I confess, I covet your skull.
- Sherlock Holmes: Behave and sit down, Dr. Mortimer.
- [Gesturing to the chair]
- Dr. Mortimer: [dog sits beside Mr. Mortimer] Spot. Yes, good boy.
- Sherlock Holmes: Well, I presume it was not your phrenological passion which drew you to Baker Street.
- Dr. Mortimer: Unfortunately it was not, Sir.
- Sherlock Holmes: You impress me, Doctor Mortimer. Was there anything else?
- Dr. Mortimer: Yes.
- Sherlock Holmes: Footprints? A man or a woman's?
- Dr. Mortimer: Mr. Holmes, they were the footprints of a gigantic hound!
- Dr. Mortimer: If it's one animal on this planet which I cannot abide it is a rabbit.
- Dr. John Watson: Really?
- Dr. Mortimer: Rabbits burrow.
