Dawes : You wanted to see me, sir?
Professor Moriarty : I'm away for a few weeks, Dawes, and I come back to find my anthurium magenta, my incomparable anthurium magenta, withered, ruined...
Dawes : I can't understand it, sir; I took good care of all the plants.
Professor Moriarty : Did you water them?
Dawes : Every day, sir - just as you told me, sir.
Professor Moriarty : Then how does it happen that I find a spider's web spun across the spout of the watering can?
Dawes : That can happen overnight, sir.
Professor Moriarty : Overnight, huh? Then you didn't water them today?
Dawes : There's been so much to do, sir, preparing for your coming back.
Professor Moriarty : Nothing is as important as the care of my flowers. Through your neglect, this flower has died. You've murdered a flower!
Dawes : Why, I'm sorry, sir.
Professor Moriarty : To think that for merely murdering a man I was incarcerated for six whole weeks in a filthy prison cell.
Dawes : A pity, sir!
Professor Moriarty : A travesty on justice!
Dawes : Quite so, sir.
Professor Moriarty : And for this crime, Dawes, you should be flogged, broken on the wheel, drawn and quartered...
Dawes : Yes, sir. Will that be all, sir?
Professor Moriarty : ...and boiled in oil!
Dawes : Thank you, sir.
Professor Moriarty : Go away.
Dawes : Yes, sir.
