Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : You mentioned your name just now as if I should recognize it but I can assure you beyond the obvious facts that you are a bachelor, a solicitor and a Freemason, and an asthmatic, I know nothing about you whatever.

• Inspector Lestrade : Anything more you'd like to ask, Mr. Holmes?

  Sherlock Holmes : Not until I've been to Blackheath.

  Inspector Lestrade : You mean Norwood.

  Sherlock Holmes : [smiling]  No doubt that is what I must have meant.

• Sherlock Holmes : You've found something?

  Dr. John Watson : No, it's what I haven't found that interests me.

• [first lines] 

  Dr. John Watson : Thank you, George.

  Sherlock Holmes : From the point of view of the criminal expert, London has become a singularly uninteresting city.

  Dr. John Watson : Well, I hardly think you'll find many decent citizens to agree with you.

  Sherlock Holmes : Well, well, well, one must not be selfish. The community's the gainer and no-one the loser, save the poor unfortunate specialist whose occupation has gone.

• [last lines] 

  Jonas Oldacre : See you hang for this!

  Sherlock Holmes : That privilege must surely be mine.

• Sherlock Holmes : Could it be that for once Lestrade is on the right track?

• Sherlock Holmes : [about a newly discovered thumbprint on the wall]  And I suppose there is no doubt that the mark was there yesterday?

  Inspector Lestrade : Well, of course, McFarlane could have crept out of jail in the middle of the night just to strengthen the evidence against himself.
