- [last lines]
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes, Watson, Miss Spedding deserves credit for picking the most logical spot in the world... to commit my murder.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Oh, where is that?
- Sherlock Holmes: In the middle of a crowd.
- Sherlock Holmes: [on the pajama suicides] Indubidably, these murders are the work of a well-organized gang and directing them is one of the most fiendishly clever minds in all Europe today.
- Inspector Lestrade: Any notion who?
- Sherlock Holmes: I suspect a woman. Do you have tobacco around this place, Watson?
- Dr. John H. Watson: Yes, I've packed it. A woman? You amaze me, Holmes. Why a woman?
- Sherlock Holmes: Because the method, whatever it is, is particularly subtle and cruel. Feline, not canine.
- Inspector Lestrade: Poppy-cock. Canine, feline, quinine, when a bloke does himself in, that's suicide.
- Sherlock Holmes: Unless the bloke is driven to suicide and then in that case it's murder.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Driven? That *sounds* like a woman, doesn't it?
- Sherlock Holmes: Definitely, a female Moriarty. Clever, ruthless... and above all, cautious.
- Sherlock Holmes: I'm sorry, Watson, the pleasures of the chase are no longer for me. I'm through with crime now and forever.
