Doctor Watson Quotes:

  • Doctor Watson: [cutting-room floor-scene on the foggy road, near the movie's end; as the Wangs are departing from Twain Manor, they pass a vintage car heading up TO the Manor. The other car is driven by Holmes and Watson] ... I say, old boy! Could you possibly give us directions to - Hello, it's Mr. Sidney Wang!

    Sherlock Holmes: [smoking his famous pipe] Greetings, Mr. Wang.

    Sidney Wang: Ah, greetings to you as well! You have something to ask, I believe. Directions to where?

    Doctor Watson: Ah, yes! We've been "cordially invited to dinner and a murder," by a Mr. Lionel Twain.

    Willie Wang: *Lionel Twain?* Listen, you guys don't wanna...!

    Sidney Wang: [cutting him off] Never mind him, please. Here - you go up this road, past bridge to "22 Twain." No can miss it.

    Doctor Watson: Ever so much obliged. Good day, then!

    [he and Holmes drive off]

    Willie Wang: I don't get it, Pop! Why didn't you just tell them it was all a ripoff?

    Sidney Wang: Ah, let idiots find out for themselves! Drive, please.

    Nun: Monsieur le Doctor Watson, what is keeping Monsieur Holmes so long?

    Doctor Watson: Oh, reassurez-vous yourselves sisters, your holy relic will be with you momentarily.

    Nun: But we have been waiting almost one hour!

    Doctor Watson: Mr. Holmes is a very busy man sister. Monsieur Holmes is an, erm, tres occupée sister.

    Nun: But tomorrow is the festival of St Beryl, already thousands of blind cripples are flocking to the chapel hoping to kiss the relic. In the name of all the flocking blind cripples, I beseech you...

  • Sherlock Holmes: Do you think I'm gonna waste my time combing the streets of London for some old boot? This is a job for an imbecile.

    Doctor Watson: Quite right, Holmes, let me deal with this.

  • Doctor Watson: [on phone] Holmes, it's Watson here. Listen, it's very urgent you come down immediately on the next train to Baskerviille, twelve noon train.

    [listens]

    Doctor Watson: You'll be in disguise? Well how am I going to recognize you, then? Why can't you wear a pink carnation?

  • [last lines]

    Sherlock Holmes: There's an east wind coming, Watson.

    Doctor Watson: No, I don't think so. Looks like another warm day.

    Sherlock Holmes: Good old Watson. The one fixed point in a changing age. There's an east wind coming all the same, such a wind as never blew on England yet. It will be cold and bitter, Watson. And a good many of us may wither before its blast. But it's God's own wind nonetheless and a greener, better, stronger land that will lie in the sunshine when the storm is cleared.

  • Doctor Watson: Holmes, the girl waiting. What an extraordinary thing.

    Sherlock Holmes: Elementary, my dear Watson.

    Doctor Watson: No, no, no. It's an amazing deduction. How on earth did you arrive at it?

    Sherlock Holmes: Barham told me.

  • Doctor Watson: ...But Holmes, that's impossible.

    Sherlock Holmes: Anything is possible until proven otherwise.
