Sherlock Holmes
- Sherlock Holmes: A great detective relies on perception, intelligence, and imagination.
- Lestrade: [amused] Where'd you get that rubbish from?
- Sherlock Holmes: It's framed on the wall behind you.
- Older Watson: It was the beginning of my second week at Brompton. With each passing day, my fascination with Sherlock Holmes and his world continued to grow. On this occasion, the entire school was bursting with excitement. Dudley had challenged Holmes to a test of ingenuity, skill, and perception. Dudley had snatched the school's fencing trophy and hidden it in a secret place. He gave Holmes sixty minutes to find the trophy. Holmes accepted the challenge with confidence.
- Sherlock Holmes: The game is afoot!
- Ehtar: [suddenly appears above them gun in hand] HOLMES!
- Elizabeth Hardy: [screams] NO
- [jumps in front of Holmes as Ehtar fires]
- Ehtar: [snarls as she fatally takes the bullet] DAMN!
- John Watson: [bewildered] Where you going? Holmes You'll Be Killed
- Sherlock Holmes: [growling as he snatches up a sword] I'm going to get him
- [shouts]
- Sherlock Holmes: Ehtar! You're nothing but a damn fraud!
- Ehtar: [smugly] And you, Holmes, are letting your emotions get the better of you again!
- [fires again but Sherlock dodges the shot]
- John Watson: My name is...
- Sherlock Holmes: Wait - let me. Your name is James Watson. You're from the north of England, your father is a doctor, you spend a considerable amount of leisure time writing, and you haver a particular fondness for custard tarts. Am I correct?
- John Watson: My name isn't James, it's John.
- Sherlock Holmes: James, John - what's the difference?
- John Watson: A great deal.
- Sherlock Holmes: Very well, so your name is John. How did I do on the others?
- John Watson: You were correct. On every count. How is it done? Is it some sort of magic trick?
- Sherlock Holmes: No magic, Watson. Pure and simple deduction. The name-tag on your mattress reads "J Watson". I selected the most common name that begins with "J" - "James". "John" would have been my second choice. Your particular style of shoes are not made in the city. I've only encountered them once before during a brief visit to the north of England. The middle finger of your left hand is indented with a callus, the trademark of a writer. You were carrying the Hunter's Encyclopedia of Disease - a handbook not available to the general public, only to practising physicians. Since someone of your ages obviously hasn't been to medical school, I concluded that it was given to you by an older person, someone very dear to you who is concerned for your health: Your father, the doctor.
- John Watson: And the custard tarts?
- Sherlock Holmes: Simple. There's a distinct stain of yellow custard on your lapel. That particular colour of custard is used in the making of custard tarts, and your shape convinced me you've eaten many of them before.
- John Watson: There's no need to be rude.
- Sherlock Holmes: You're sitting in a room with an all-southern view. Suddenly, a bear walks by the window. What colour is the bear?
- John Watson: Red! The bear is red!
- Sherlock Holmes: Why on Earth would the bear be red?
- John Watson: The southern sun is very hot. The bear would be terribly burnt!
- Sherlock Holmes: [laughs] That is the most absurd answer I've ever heard.
- Sherlock Holmes: Just have a quick look at these.
- [hands Lestrade two obituaries]
- Lestrade: A suicide and a carriage accident.
- Sherlock Holmes: I suspect foul play.
- Lestrade: Why? The two instances are completely unrelated.
- Sherlock Holmes: Wrong. Both men graduated from the same university in 1809.
- Lestrade: Coincidence.
- Sherlock Holmes: Neither of their deaths fit their personalities. According to his obituary, Bobster was a happy man, content with his life, his career, his family. Why would he commit suicide? He didn't even leave a note. And Reverend Nesbitt is described by friends as "warm, loving, peaceful". And yet the carriage driver insists that he was crazed, insane, in a state of panic when he ran out into the street.
- Lestrade: Holmes, a mere fluctuation of character is hardly sufficient evidence to begin an investigation. And if you want my advice, you'll keep your nose out of the Times and into your schoolbooks.
- Sherlock Holmes: I appreciate your time, Mister Lestrade. I suggest you hold onto these.
- [Lestrade shakes his head]
- Sherlock Holmes: If I were a detective sergeant trapped in this room all day up to my neck in boring paperwork, I would be doing everything in my power to seek out that one case, that one investigation that could promote me to inspector.
- Lestrade: [Irately] Good day, Holmes.
- John Watson: Dudley is going to pay dearly for this. Punch to the jaw, jab to the ribs...
- Sherlock Holmes: Now, now, Watson. Revenge is sweetest when it's served up cold. Come on.
- [Dudley enters with snow-white hair]
- Dudley: Holmes. You did this. You're responsible, aren't you?
- Sherlock Holmes: So that's where I dropped my chemistry experiment: into your tea. Oh, don't worry, old chap. It'll wear off shortly. You should be back to normal - by summertime.
- John Watson: I can't afford to jeopardise my medical career!
- Sherlock Holmes: Weasel.
- John Watson: I'm not a weasel. I am... practical.
- Sherlock Holmes: Weasels *are* practical. And I imagined you courageous and stout of heart.
- John Watson: I am courageous. And I'm stout of heart. It's just that... oh, all right. I'll do it.
- Older Watson: We immediately sprang into action, searching every nook and cranny for the cloth. I accidentally turned on one of Waxflatter's strange machines, and not being at all mechanically-minded, I had the dickens of a time trying to turn the thing off.
- Elizabeth Hardy: I found it! I found it!
- Older Watson: Holmes spent the entire night and the following day studying, examining, scrutinising the section of cloth. He conducted experiment after experiment. Not once did he stop for a rest. His energy seemed boundless. Following eighteen straight hours of work, Holmes turned to Elizabeth and myself, and those four familiar words shot from his lips.
- Sherlock Holmes: The game is afoot!
- Sherlock Holmes: [during a hallucination] Please don't cry, Mother. Please. Don't you understand, Mother? Can't you hear me? Can't you hear what I'm saying? Mother!
- Mr. Holmes: You! This is all your fault, son! How could you do such a thing to me? To your own father? Spying on me!
- Sherlock Holmes: Forgive me, Father. Please, I - I didn't realise.
- Mr. Holmes: My private life is my own! Your mother need never have known!
- Sherlock Holmes: No! No! No! This is not real! This is *not* real!
- Cragwitch: [hallucinating, Cragwitch attacks Holmes and tries to strangle him] EH TAR! You filthy murderer! You wanted to kill all of us! Well, you won't kill me!
- Sherlock Holmes: Watson! Speak to him!
- John Watson: What? Oh! Your... your name is Craddy Critchwit! I mean, your name is Ch-...! Your name is...! What's his name?
- Sherlock Holmes: [Choking] Cragwitch!
- Sherlock Holmes: Mister Lestrade! What are you doing here?
- Lestrade: Oh, I accidentally stuck myself on one of those damn thorns. Goll, the hallucinations... ghastly. Took four policemen to stop me from hanging meself. Anyway, when it was over, I thought I better look into your story. Now, Holmes, I wish you and your podgy little friend farewell. I appreciate you getting me started on the case.
- John Watson: Amazing, Holmes. Simply amazing. Of course, you did forget one very important clue.
- Sherlock Holmes: Oh? Please enlighten me.
- John Watson: Well, "Rathe" is "Ehtar" spelled backwards.
- Sherlock Holmes: Very clever, Watson. Well, I'm certain I would have arrived at that conclusion sooner or later.
- John Watson: [smiling] Sooner or later.
- Sherlock Holmes: Someday we'll be reunited. In another world, a much better world.
- Elizabeth Hardy: I'll be waiting. And you'll be late... as always.
- Ehtar: You cannot best me, Holmes. Throw down your sword.
- Sherlock Holmes: Never. I would rather die a gruesome and horrible death.
- Ehtar: Very well, then I will oblige.
- Ehtar: [continues duelling] Come Holmes Is This The Best You Can Do?
- [gloating]
- Ehtar: You Fight Like A Malnourished Child I've Already Won The Battle
- Sherlock Holmes: You've Lost *Every* Battle Ehtar... This Will Be No Exception! All Your Dreams Have Been *Shattered* Your Temple... The Rame Tep...
- [Ehtar gets similar cheek slash to Holmes]
- Sherlock Holmes: Everything Has Been Destroyed Forever
- Ehtar: [Ehtar seeing he's now bleeding loses his composure] AH
- [growling lashes out]
- [while flying]
- Sherlock Holmes: I've just realised something.
- John Watson: What?
- Sherlock Holmes: I have absolutely no idea how to land this machine.
- Sherlock Holmes: Mr. Lestrade?
- Lestrade: Holmes. It's been a long time. Three, four days since your last visit?
- Sherlock Holmes: I believe I'm on to something
- Lestrade: Oh, not again.
- Sherlock Holmes: This time I'm certain of it.
- Lestrade: Really. Just like last month when you were convinced that the French ambassador had embezzled 300 thousand pounds from the Bank of England?
- Sherlock Holmes: I was close. It was the Russian ambassador.
