Jeremy Brett: Sherlock Holmes

Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : A dog a reflects family life, Watson.

  Dr. John Watson : [uninterested]  Does it, indeed?

  Sherlock Holmes : Whoever heard of a frisky dog in a gloomy home? Or a sad dog in a happy one? Snarling people have snarling dogs.

• Dr. Watson : You go armed?

  Sherlock Holmes : Always carry a firearm east of Aldgate, Watson.

• Sherlock Holmes : [voiceover as he writes note]  Watson. Come at once if convenient.

  [pause] 

  Sherlock Holmes : If inconvenient, come all the same.

• Sherlock Holmes : My card.

  Professor Presbury : Two hundred and twenty-one *B*. Hardly an address to inspire confidence.

  Sherlock Holmes : Well, I've never sought to inspire confidence in others; I have quite enough of my own.

• [last lines] 

  Dr. Watson : If I may say so, Holmes, I think you went a little too far in allowing Lestrade all the credit.

  Sherlock Holmes : Not all, Watson. You can file it away in our archives. One day the entire truth can be told.

• Professor Presbury : My assistant had no authority to engage you in this matter; kindly enquire into it no further. Should you persist, I shall have no hesitation in calling the police. Lestrade of the yard is well known to me, so beware.

  Sherlock Holmes : I would hesitate in calling Lestrade, Professor, if you wish to have the mystery solved.
