• 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?
