Dr. Watson
- [Holmes, Watson, and Lestrade are on a stakeout]
- [Watson sneezes]
- Sherlock Holmes: Watson, if you've caught a cold, it's your fault. You left the rugs behind.
- Dr. Watson: Sorry, Holmes.
- Sherlock Holmes: And now, Watson, I commend to you the universal answer to almost all problems.
- Dr. Watson: What's that, Holmes?
- Sherlock Holmes: Sleep.
- Sherlock Holmes: I dare call nothing trivial, Lestrade. Some of my most classic cases have had the least promising commencement.
- Dr. Watson: Yeah. That dreadful business of the Abernetty family.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yah! Woo.
- Inspector Lestrade: I'd hardly call the dismemberment of an entire family trivial.
- [Watson laughs]
- Sherlock Holmes: Oh, Watson, would you be so kind as to explain?
- Dr. Watson: What? Oh, uh, the point is that, um, it only came to Holmes's notice because of the depth to which the parsley had sunk into the butter on a hot day.
- [Lestrade visits Holmes and Watson in their rooms at 221B Baker Street]
- Dr. Watson: Anything remarkable on hand, Lestrade?
- Inspector Lestrade: No, nothing in particular.
- Sherlock Holmes: [after a long pause, lowers the newspaper he's reading and smiles at Lestrade] Then tell us about it.
