Quotes2

  • Sherlock Holmes: I must admit, Watson, you do have some power of selection.
  • Dr. Watson: Thank you, Holmes.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Which atones for much of which I deplore about your narratives. Your fatal habit of looking at everything from the point of view of a story instead of as a scientific exercise has ruined what might have been an instructive and even classical series of demonstrations.
  • Dr. Watson: Why do you not write them yourself?
  • Sherlock Holmes: I will, my dear Watson, I will. In my declining years.
  • [last lines]
  • Sherlock Holmes: It's almost as though you disapproved of the happiness we have fostered today.
  • Dr. Watson: Oh, no. I approve of that; of course I do. I am uneasy that you took upon yourself the duties of advocate *and* judge.
  • Sherlock Holmes: You are too bound by forms, Watson!
  • Dr. Watson: Forms are society.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Hmph.
  • Dr. Watson: Manners maketh man.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Hah.
  • Dr. Watson: It's just as well you are unique.
