Quotes7

  • [last lines]
  • Sherlock Holmes: Canada, the linchpin of the English speaking world, whose relations of friendly intimacy with the United States on the one hand and their unswerving fidelity to the British Commonwealth and the Motherland on the other. Canada, the link that joins together these great branches of the human family.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Churchill say that?
  • Sherlock Holmes: Yes, Watson, Churchill.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Sit down, old fellow. Judge Brisson has decided not to shoot us.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Oh, very kind of him.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Can't we get something to eat before we leave? You don't often get food like you do here.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Don't you ever think of anything else besides your stomach?
  • Dr. John H. Watson: No, not often.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Watson, have you ever stopped to think that the science of detection is much like stringing a handful of beads?
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Can't say as I have.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: I deduce, my good man, that you're somewhat drunk.
  • Drake: Sharp, he is. Sharp as a tack. And just as flat-headed.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: [after being threatened by a large watchdog, currently being restrained by the housekeeper] My good woman, you keep an eye on that dog!
  • Sherlock Holmes: Oh, don't worry, Watson, you know as well as I do that the dog won't touch you if you're with its master or mistress.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Well, you know it, and I know it; are you quite sure the dog knows it?
  • Dr. John H. Watson: I hear there are a lot of prairie chicken in these parts. I'd like to have a bag at them someday.
  • Sgt. Thompson: I think that can be arranged, Doc.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Yes, we can stop off at a farmyard and you can shoot all the chickens you want.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: That's overly funny, Holmes.
