Constable Clark Quotes in Sherlock Holmes (2009)

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.
