A Study in Scarlet (1933)

Warburton Gamble: Dr. Watson

Quotes 

• Dr. Watson : I'm amazed at your wasting your energies on such a morbid trifle. Who is this Merrydew?

  Sherlock Holmes : London's most dangerous crook. The king of blackmailers. A gliding, slidy, venomous snake. Once in his power, he'll squeeze and squeeze until he's drained his victims dry. More than once I've had my net around him, but so far he's managed to wriggle his way out. The time has come, Watson. The time has come for Mr. Thaddeus Merrydew.

• Dr. Watson : Holmes, what did you write on that sheet of paper?

  Sherlock Holmes : A long shot in the dark, Watson. But it hit a bullseye.

• Sherlock Holmes : Is that all you observed?

  Dr. Watson : Was there anything else?

  Sherlock Holmes : A hundred things.
