Dr. John Watson : Surely the house interests you!
Sherlock Holmes : The house is freezing, Watson!
Dr. John Watson : It's history.

Dr. Watson : What is it?
Sherlock Holmes : Nothing less than a fragment of the ancient crown of the kings of England.

Sherlock Holmes : The measurements obviously refer to some exact spot to which the rest of the document alludes. We are given two guides.
Dr. Watson : Yes, an elm and an oak.
Sherlock Holmes : [pointing to a spot outside the window] And, gentlemen, there is a patriarch among oaks.

[first lines]
Dr. Watson : Splendid air!
[Holmes coughs horribly]
Dr. Watson : Rough shooting.
[Holmes groans]
Dr. Watson : Perhaps a little fishing.
[Holmes groans again]
Dr. Watson : And the best cook in the County of Sussex, wouldn't you say?
-
Dr. Watson : If you feel so uncharitable, why'd you accept his invitation?
Sherlock Holmes : To escape my lethargy. And your constant bullying to tidy our room in Baker Street.
Dr. Watson : Huh. Hardly constant.

Sherlock Holmes : Now we must find where the shadow of the elm would have fallen when the sun is just clear of *that*.
Dr. Watson : Well, that will be difficult, Holmes, since the elm's no longer there.
Sherlock Holmes : Oh now, come, Watson. If Brunton can do it, then so can we. The answer lies in trigonometry!

[last lines]
Dr. Watson : Was it chance the wood slipped? Was she only guilty of silence? She had a passionate Celtic soul; the man had wronged her; she had him in her power. Might it not have been vengeance that sent the stone crashing? Her hand that dashed it away. And what has become of her?
Sherlock Holmes : Very probably she's far away from Hurlstone now and carries her secret with her.
