Constable Clark
- Sherlock Holmes: And chambermaids were once such a liberal breed.
- Constable Clark: My wife's a chambermaid, sir.
- [uncomfortable silence]
- Constable Clark: Anyhow, it's a good thing she was offended, sir. Otherwise we'd never have found you.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes.
- [more uncomfortable silence]
- Constable Clark: Just joking about the wife, sir.
- Sherlock Holmes: Ah!
- [a chambermaid enters Irene Adler's room and screams when she sees Holmes, handcuffed naked to the bed with a pillow covering his groin]
- Sherlock Holmes: Madam, I need you to remain calm. And trust me, I'm a professional. Beneath this pillow, lies the key to my release.
- [the Maid screams again and runs out; cut to later in a carriage]
- Sherlock Holmes: Of course, she mis-interpreted my intention entirely.
- Constable Clark: Naturally, sir.
- [about Blackwood coming back from the grave]
- Sherlock Holmes: Have the newspapers got wind of it yet?
- Constable Clark: Well, that's what we're trying to avoid, sir.
- Sherlock Holmes: Certainly. What's the major concern?
- Constable Clark: Panic. Sheer bloody panic, sir.
- Dr. John Watson: Who do you think won the match, Clarkie?
- Constable Clark: Sir?
- Dr. John Watson: The rugby match. Your boys have done a magnificent job obliterating any potential evidence.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes. But at least they never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.
- Constable Clark: Sir, Inspector Lestrade asks that you come with me at once.
- Sherlock Holmes: What's he done now, lost his way to Scotland Yard?
