Holmes : [Holmes and Watson are in a pub to see Joe Cisto, a piano player. Holmes introduces Cisto to Watson] I want you to meet a friend of mine, Dr. Watson. Joe Cisto.
Joe Cisto : Oh, well, any friend of Mr. Holmes is a friend of mine.

Joe Cisto : He did me a good turn once that I'll never forget.

Watson : Humph, Irene Adler, what a striking looking woman from the brief glance I had of her. Seems only yesterday. What charm. Hmmmm. What poise. And what a mind! Sharp enough and brilliant enough to outwit the-the great Sherlock Holmes himself!
Holmes : I take it that the new issue of the Strand Magazine is out containing another of your slightly lurid tales.
Watson : It is indeed!
Holmes : And what do you call this one?
Watson : I call it "A Scandal in Bohemia." Not a bad title, huh?
Holmes : Hmm. If you must record my exploits, I do wish you would put less emphasis on the melodramatic and more on the intellectual issues involved.
Watson : More on the intel... what do you mean by that?
Holmes : Well I do hope you've given, um, *The* Woman a soul, she had one, you know.
Watson : By *The* Woman, I suppose you mean Irene Adler?
Holmes : Yes... I shall always remember her... as *The* Woman.

Commissioner of Scotland Yard : Before going further, Dr. Watson, I must inform you that this matter is not to be mentioned outside of this room.

Holmes : Let's not go into that now, old fellow, shall we?

'Stinky' Emery : [remarking on one of his music boxes] Charming, isn't it?

Inspector Hopkins : I still don't understand how you solved it, Mr. Holmes.
Holmes : It's entirely due to Doctor Watson. He gave me the clue when he mentioned Doctor Samuel Johnson.
Inspector Hopkins : Well, congratulations, Doctor.
Watson : Oh, thank you, Inspector. I don't think I could have done it entirely without Mr. Holmes' help, you know.
