Quotes 

• Mr. Viviani : I assure you it is only through study of the good doctor's masterly exposition of your work that I now have any small capacity to reason.

  Sherlock Holmes : Really. You amaze me. Watson, are you taking notes?

• Sherlock Holmes : [rousing a sleeping Watson before dawn]  Come, Watson. Come. The game is afoot.

  [exits and Watson lays back down] 

  Sherlock Holmes : [reopening the door]  Get your clothes and come.

• 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.
