Dr. Watson:
Once again, Holmes, you've deliberately held me at arm's length. I really think you might treat me with a little more frankness.
Sherlock Holmes:
My profession would be a drab and sordid one, Watson, if I did not sometimes set the scene to glorify the results.
Dr. Watson:
You have a peculiar secretive streak in you, Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes:
The only safe plotter is he who plots alone.
Dr. Watson:
Thank you for that vote of confidence.
Sherlock Holmes:
There should be no combination of events for which the wit of man cannot conceive an explanation.
Sherlock Holmes:
Really, Watson, you are scintillating this morning.
Dr. Watson:
Is it Bach you're playing?
Sherlock Holmes:
I prefer German music when I feel introspective.
Sherlock Holmes:
When all other contingencies fail, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.
