A Study in Terror

Sherlock Holmes:
My dear Mycroft, this is a surprise! Watson, some sherry... Is this a social call?

Mycroft Holmes:
Yes, yes, oh yes, purely social. [pause] How are you?

Sherlock Holmes:
Very well. [pause] Well, now that the social call is over, hadn't we better get down to business?

Mycroft Holmes:
For Heaven's sake, stop sawing away on that infernal instrument! It was a sad day when Mother gave it to you, a sad day for her, a sad day for you, a sad day for us all... What I cannot understand is why, since you've had that violin with you so long, you never learned to play!

Annie Chapman:
Chunky?

Chunky:
Yes, Annie?

Annie Chapman:
You can have it for nothing if you want to, I'm feeling real lonely tonight, Chunky.

Chunky:
Oh, no thanks, love, I'm too busy, honest.

Annie Chapman:
Oh.

Duke of Shires:
Where did you get this case?

Sherlock Holmes:
I believe it to have come from a White Chapel pawn shop, sir.

Duke of Shires:
A Pawn shop. No more than I predicted for him...

Sherlock Holmes:
For whom, sir?

Duke of Shires:
My eldest son, Michael.

Sherlock Holmes:
Do you know of his present address?

Duke of Shires:
He is dead.

Sherlock Holmes:
Oh, of what accident or sickness, your grace?

Duke of Shires:
Disobedience. From the day he left this house against my wishes, he has been dead, sir.

Sherlock Holmes:
You mean disowned, your grace.

Sherlock Holmes:
Come, Mister Beck, your face reacts faster than your brain. You remember very well...

Dr. John Watson:
Someone should have sent for us before this, Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes:
Someone has. The woman who sent me that instrument case.

Dr. John Watson:
Oh, but then why doesn't she come out into the open?

Sherlock Holmes:
Being a woman, she uses a women's art. She intrigues us to White Chapel.

Lord Carfax, Richard Osborne:
What's all this about, Holmes, how did you get here?

Sherlock Holmes:
I followed this young lady.

Sally:
I saw no one.

Sherlock Holmes:
That is exactly what you'd expect to see when I follow someone.

Dr. John Watson:
But how on Earth did you get out of it, Holmes?

Sherlock Holmes:
You know my methods, Watson, I am well known to be indestructable.

Rupert:
I do believe this damn whore's lifted my purse.

Max Steiner:
Nobody steals in my pub, except me!

Sherlock Holmes:
Would you stand up?

Dr. John Watson:
Whatever for?

Sherlock Holmes:
It is an old maxim of mine that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth, and therefore, you are sitting on my pipe.

Dr. John Watson:
Holmes, there was an identical murder of a woman in Whitechapel just three days ago.

Sherlock Holmes:
Aha, a second murder!

Dr. John Watson:
Mm.-hmmm

Sherlock Holmes:
Now, that is interesting.

Dr. John Watson:
Why?

Sherlock Holmes:
Because it is the second murder.

Doctor Murray:
That is mere conjecture, Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes:
All circumstantial evidence is conjecture, Murray, but it is often right.

Inspector Lestrade:
Mr. Holmes is usually right.

Sally:
[to Lord Carfax] I followed this young lady.

Sally:
I saw no one.

Sherlock Holmes:
That is exactly what people may expect to see when I follow them.
