Inspector Gregson: So I put my pride in my pocket and went to see the man that so often helped out Inspector Lastrade and myself in the past, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
Lydia Marlowe: I was right, Mr Holmes. You are a difficult subject.
Sherlock Holmes: Thank you.
Dr. John H. Watson: There ought to be a law against fat people keeping little dickey birds.
Professor Moriarty: Holmes has one weakness, his insatiable curiosity. If you can arouse that, you can lead him anywhere.
Professor Moriarty: We've had many encounters in the past. You hope to place me on the gallows. I tell you, I shall never stand upon the gallows. But, if you are instrumental in any way in bringing about my destruction, you will not be alive to enjoy your satisfaction.
Sherlock Holmes: Then we shall walk together through the Gates of Eternity hand-in-hand.
Professor Moriarty: What a charming picture that would make.
Sherlock Holmes: Yes, wouldn't it. And I really think it might be worth it.
Sherlock Holmes: If we could just trace those missing fingers.
Inspector Gregson: If? If we could just drain the English Channel, we might find a penny.
Sherlock Holmes: I smell the faint, sweet odor of blackmail.
