- [last lines]
- Sherlock Holmes: Canada, the linchpin of the English speaking world, whose relations of friendly intimacy with the United States on the one hand and their unswerving fidelity to the British Commonwealth and the Motherland on the other. Canada, the link that joins together these great branches of the human family.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Churchill say that?
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes, Watson, Churchill.
- Sherlock Holmes: Sit down, old fellow. Judge Brisson has decided not to shoot us.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Oh, very kind of him.
- Sherlock Holmes: Consider, Watson, the irony, the tragic irony, that we accepted the commission from the victim to find her murderer. For the first time... we've been retained by a corpse.
- Sherlock Holmes: During the time he's lived here, Ramson has undoubtedly established another character for himself, perhaps several others, while by now, familiar to the people of La Morte Rouge and quite above suspicion. He could be almost anyone in the village.
- Lord Penrose: [to Holmes] Several of our most responsible citizens have actually seen the strange apparition on the marshes at night and next morning sheep were discovered...
- Sherlock Holmes: With their throats torn out and no traces of the killer anywhere to be found.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Can't we get something to eat before we leave? You don't often get food like you do here.
- Sherlock Holmes: Don't you ever think of anything else besides your stomach?
- Dr. John H. Watson: No, not often.
- Sherlock Holmes: Watson, have you ever stopped to think that the science of detection is much like stringing a handful of beads?
- Dr. John H. Watson: Can't say as I have.
- Dr. John H. Watson: [after being threatened by a large watchdog, currently being restrained by the housekeeper] My good woman, you keep an eye on that dog!
- Sherlock Holmes: Oh, don't worry, Watson, you know as well as I do that the dog won't touch you if you're with its master or mistress.
- Dr. John H. Watson: Well, you know it, and I know it; are you quite sure the dog knows it?
- Sherlock Holmes: I have no doubt that the incident with the sheep with their throats torn out is unquestionably a fact. However, the interpretation of this fact has been final proof of the existence of the supernatural is merely supposition - therefore cannot be accepted without further data.
- Lord Penrose: Your opinions Mr Holmes are no doubt the result of your inability to cope with something beyond the realms of your comprehension.
- Dr. John H. Watson: I hear there are a lot of prairie chicken in these parts. I'd like to have a bag at them someday.
- Sgt. Thompson: I think that can be arranged, Doc.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes, we can stop off at a farmyard and you can shoot all the chickens you want.
- Dr. John H. Watson: That's overly funny, Holmes.
