Sherlock Holmes : There are still some gaps to be filled in, but all in all, things are becoming a little clearer.
Dr. Watson : Not to me, I assure you. It's still a hopeless jumble. Mr. Franklin, Doctor Mortimer, the Barrymans... put it all together and what have you got?
Sherlock Holmes : Murder, my dear Watson. Refined, cold-blooded murder.
Dr. Watson : Murder?
Sherlock Holmes : There's no doubt about it in my mind. Or perhaps I should say, in my imagination. For that's where crimes are conceived and where they're solved... in the imagination.

Dr. Watson : It's a pity you didn't think about bringing that infernal violin of yours... to regale me with some of your enchanting music!
Sherlock Holmes : I *did*, my dear Watson! Anything to oblige!
[he whips out the violin and begins to play]

Sir Henry Baskerville : Well, there's the old boy himself... Sir Hugo. Hugo, the Beast of the Baskervilles.
Dr. Watson : Not a bad bit of brush work. By Ransome, one of the minor painters.
Sir Henry Baskerville : Oh, I don't imagine it's very valuable.
Sherlock Holmes : I can't quite agree with you, Sir Henry.
Sherlock Holmes : [ominously] One day, it might prove to be of the greatest value.
