Dr. John H. Watson : Amazing. And the Borgia Pearl's inside that?
Sherlock Holmes : If it isn't, I shall retire to Sussex and keep bees.

Sherlock Holmes : This man pervades Europe like a plague, yet no one has heard of him. That's what puts him on the pinnacle in the records of crime.
Dr. John H. Watson : What's he do?
Sherlock Holmes : Everything and nothing. In his whole diabolical career, the police have never been able to pin anything on him. And yet, show me crime without motive, robbery without a clue, murder without a trace and I'll show you Giles Conover.
Dr. John H. Watson : But that's amazing, Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes : Two years ago, he disappeared from his usual haunts and I have every reason to believe that he... Oh, here it is... I've every reason to believe that he's back in England again. If I could free society of this sinister creature, I should feel that my own career had reached it's summit.

-
Dr. John H. Watson : Well, how... how does the, uh, the thing work?
Sherlock Holmes : Electricity. The high priest of false security.

Sherlock Holmes : Watson, look sharp, will you? Go to that door to the alley, and do exactly as I tell you.
Dr. John H. Watson : Huh?
Sherlock Holmes : No, not "huh". Just do it.
-
Dr. John H. Watson : [viewing the Borgia Pearl] Huh, can't be real.
Sherlock Holmes : Real as death, old fellow, with the blood of twenty men upon it down through the centuries.
