Mrs. Hudson: You feed it!

Sherlock Holmes: Touchy, touchy.

Mrs. Hudson: Doctor, you must get him to a sanatorium. He's been on a diet of coffee, tobacco, and coca leaves. He never sleeps. I hear multiple voices as if he's rehearsing for a play...

Holmes: There is something missing from my desk!

Mrs. Hudson: Missing?

Holmes: Something very crucial!

Mrs. Hudson: What?

Holmes: Dust! You have been tidying up against my explicit orders!

Mrs. Hudson: Oh look, I made sure I hadn't disturbed anything.

Holmes: Dust, Mrs Hudson, is an essential part of my filing system. By the thickness of it I can date any document immediately.

Mrs. Hudson: Well, some of the dust was THIS thick.

Holmes: That would be March 1883.

[first lines]

Dr. John H. Watson: [Watson rings the doorbell of 221-B Baker Street] It was October the 24th, in the year 1891. that I heard for the first time in four months from my friend Sherlock Holmes. On this particular day, a telegram from his landlady, Mrs. Hudson, had been delivered to my surgery, imploring me to return to my former rooms without delay.

Mrs. Hudson: [Mrs. Hudson opens the front door] Oh, Dr. Watson, thank heavens you've come; I'm at my wit's end.

Dr. John H. Watson: Why, what has happened?

Mrs. Hudson: Since you left us these last few months, he's been very strange. He's barricaded himself up there, he won't take his food, he keeps the oddest of hours. I think he's taking...

Sherlock Holmes: [from his bedroom] Mrs. Hudson! I know there's someone down there with you! I heard the cab stop before the door!

Mrs. Hudson: He keeps babbling on about some...

Sherlock Holmes: [from his bedroom] Mrs. Hudson, if that gentleman answers to the name Moriarty, you may show him up, and I will deal with him!

Dr. John H. Watson: I better go to him.

Mrs. Hudson: [Watson goes up the staircase] Oh, be careful.

Dr. John H. Watson: Moriarty was a name I'd only known him to mutter... when in the thrall of one of his cocaine injections.

[Watson knocks at Sherlock's bedroom door]

Sherlock Holmes: [from within his bedroom] Is that you, Moriarty?

Dr. John H. Watson: It is I, Watson.

Sherlock Holmes: [in his bedroom] Watson?

Dr. John H. Watson: [Sherlock slightly opens his bedroom door a crack, unlocking it] You see it is I. Holmes, let me enter.

Sherlock Holmes: [he closes his door again] Not so fast! You may be Moriarty in disguse. Prove you're Watson.

Dr. John H. Watson: How on earth am I to do that?

Sherlock Holmes: Tell me where I keep my tobacco!

Dr. John H. Watson: Tobacco? Well, as a rule, it's in the toe of your Persian slipper. Holmes...

Sherlock Holmes: [Sherlock opens and unlocks the door] Very well, I'm satisfied.

[Watson enters Holmes's room]

Holmes: An occasional libation enables me to stiffen my resolve.

Mrs. Hudson: Your resolve should be pickled by now!

[Holmes has just tried and failed to hang himself]

Mrs. Hudson: Mr. Holmes! What would Dr. Watson say?

Holmes: He would have offered to kick the chair out from underneath me!

[Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty prepare to have a swordfight on the stage of the Orpheum Theater]

Professor James Moriarty: Ordinarily I do not bother with half-wits and buffoons.

[Holmes reaches to draw a sword from nearby, but grabs Mrs. Hudson's umbrella by accident]

Holmes: Buffoons, is it?

[Moriarty looks annoyed. Realizing his mistake, Holmes quickly tosses the umbrella aside and draws a sword for real this time]

Holmes: Buffoon, is it?

Mrs. Hudson: [Looking on with Dr. Watson] He'll be killed!

Dr. Watson: I quite doubt it, Mrs. Hudson. He's in his element now.

Leslie: [waking up after being knocked cold] Oh, my head...

Mrs. Hudson: It's all right, dear. It's still there.

Mrs. Hudson: What's going on?

Stan Butler: Nothing, I was just going to ask your daughter if we can have a drink.

Mrs. Hudson: Good idea, we can all go together.

Sherlock Holmes: My dear Mrs. Hudson, you've always been a temptation to me, but haddock after a good breakfast is not.

Mrs. Hudson: Lawd, and you do carry on!
