Quotes8

  • DI Lestrade: I thought you understood everything.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Of course not. That would be an appalling waste of brain space. I specialize.
  • Mary Morstan: I'm part of a campaign, you know.
  • DI Lestrade: Huh? Campaign?
  • Mary Morstan: Votes for women.
  • DI Lestrade: And you, are you for or against?
  • Mary Morstan: Get out.
  • DI Lestrade: [talking about Sherlock] He said, "There's only one suspect," and then he just walks away and now he won't explain.
  • Mrs. Hudson: Which is strange, because he likes that bit.
  • DI Lestrade: Said it's so simple I could solve it.
  • Mrs. Hudson: I'm sure he was exaggerating.
  • DI Lestrade: Mrs. Hudson didn't seem to be talking.
  • Sherlock Holmes: I fear she has branched into literary criticism by mean of satire. It is a distressing trend in the modern landlady.
  • DI Lestrade: [after a failed attempt by Sherlock to catch a murderer] You really mustn't blame yourself, you know.
  • Sherlock Holmes: No, you're quite right.
  • Dr. John Watson: I'm glad you're seeing sense.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Watson is equally culpable. Between us, we've managed to botch this whole case.
  • Dr. John Watson: Holmes, could it have been twins?
  • Sherlock Holmes: No.
  • Dr. John Watson: Why not?
  • Sherlock Holmes: Because it's never twins.
  • DI Lestrade: Emilia was not a twin, nor did she have any sisters. She had one older brother who died four years ago.
  • Dr. John Watson: Mm-m-m-m. Maybe it was a secret twin.
  • Sherlock Holmes: A WHAT?
  • Dr. John Watson: A secret twin? Mm? You know? A twin that nobody knows about? This whole thing could have been planned.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Since the moment of conception? How breathtakingly prescient of her. It is never twins, Watson!
  • [Sherlock has been sitting on the floor not moving for two days]
  • DI Lestrade: What's he doing, do you think?
  • Mrs. Hudson: He says he's waiting.
  • DI Lestrade: For what?
  • Mrs. Hudson: The devil. I wouldn't be surprised. We get all sorts here.
  • DI Lestrade: There's still reporters outside.
  • Mrs. Hudson: They've been there all the time. I can't get rid of them. I've been rushed off my feet making tea.
  • DI Lestrade: Why do you make them tea?
  • Mrs. Hudson: I don't know. I just sort of do.
