DI Lestrade : I thought you understood everything.
Sherlock Holmes : Of course not. That would be an appalling waste of brain space. I specialize.
-
Mary Morstan : I'm part of a campaign, you know.
DI Lestrade : Huh? Campaign?
Mary Morstan : Votes for women.
DI Lestrade : And you, are you for or against?
Mary Morstan : Get out.
-
DI Lestrade : [talking about Sherlock] He said, "There's only one suspect," and then he just walks away and now he won't explain.
Mrs. Hudson : Which is strange, because he likes that bit.
DI Lestrade : Said it's so simple I could solve it.
Mrs. Hudson : I'm sure he was exaggerating.
-
DI Lestrade : Mrs. Hudson didn't seem to be talking.
Sherlock Holmes : I fear she has branched into literary criticism by mean of satire. It is a distressing trend in the modern landlady.
-
DI Lestrade : [after a failed attempt by Sherlock to catch a murderer] You really mustn't blame yourself, you know.
Sherlock Holmes : No, you're quite right.
Dr. John Watson : I'm glad you're seeing sense.
Sherlock Holmes : Watson is equally culpable. Between us, we've managed to botch this whole case.

Dr. John Watson : Holmes, could it have been twins?
Sherlock Holmes : No.
Dr. John Watson : Why not?
Sherlock Holmes : Because it's never twins.
DI Lestrade : Emilia was not a twin, nor did she have any sisters. She had one older brother who died four years ago.
Dr. John Watson : Mm-m-m-m. Maybe it was a secret twin.
Sherlock Holmes : A WHAT?
Dr. John Watson : A secret twin? Mm? You know? A twin that nobody knows about? This whole thing could have been planned.
Sherlock Holmes : Since the moment of conception? How breathtakingly prescient of her. It is never twins, Watson!

[Sherlock has been sitting on the floor not moving for two days]
DI Lestrade : What's he doing, do you think?
Mrs. Hudson : He says he's waiting.
DI Lestrade : For what?
Mrs. Hudson : The devil. I wouldn't be surprised. We get all sorts here.
-
DI Lestrade : There's still reporters outside.
Mrs. Hudson : They've been there all the time. I can't get rid of them. I've been rushed off my feet making tea.
DI Lestrade : Why do you make them tea?
Mrs. Hudson : I don't know. I just sort of do.
