Allow me to congratulate you on a brilliant bit of deduction.

[Holmes and Watson are in a pub to see Joe Cisto, a piano player. Holmes introduces Cisto to Watson]
I want you to meet a friend of mine, Dr. Watson. Joe Cisto.
Joe Cisto
Oh, well, any friend of Mr. Holmes is a friend of mine.
Watson
How are you, Joe?
Joe Cisto
He did me a good turn once that I'll never forget.
Holmes
Yes, I cleared Joe of a most unpleasant charge.
Joe Cisto
Murder no less.

Oh, really?

Watson
Humph, Irene Adler, what a striking looking woman from the brief glance I had of her. Seems only yesterday. What charm. Hmmmm. What poise. And what a mind! Sharp enough and brilliant enough to outwit the-the great Sherlock Holmes himself!
Holmes
I take it that the new issue of the Strand Magazine is out containing another of your slightly lurid tales.
Watson
It is indeed!
Holmes
And what do you call this one?
Watson
I call it "A Scandal in Bohemia." Not a bad title, huh?
Holmes
Hmm. If you must record my exploits, I do wish you would put less emphasis on the melodramatic and more on the intellectual issues involved.
Watson
More on the intel... what do you mean by that?
Holmes
Well I do hope you've given, um, *The* Woman a soul, she had one, you know.
Watson
By *The* Woman, I suppose you mean Irene Adler?
Holmes
Yes... I shall always remember her... as *The* Woman.

Commissioner of Scotland Yard
Before going further, Dr. Watson, I must inform you that this matter is not to be mentioned outside of this room.

Colonel Cavanaugh
[remarking on the poison gas]

Watson
Holmes! You all right?
Holmes
Perfectly, thank you, old fellow, but I think this gentleman on the floor requires some medical attention. We must see that he looks his best, you know, when he's hanged.

Colonel Cavanaugh
[to a handcuffed Holmes, who is hanging from a beam]

Inspector Hopkins
I still don't understand how you solved it, Mr. Holmes.
Holmes
It's entirely due to Doctor Watson. He gave me the clue when he mentioned Doctor Samuel Johnson.
Inspector Hopkins
Well, congratulations, Doctor.
Watson
Oh, thank you, Inspector. I don't think I could have done it entirely without Mr. Holmes' help, you know.

Hamid
[angrily, after Cavanaugh has grabbed a book of poems from him inscribed by Mrs. Courtney]
Some day you'll go too far.
Colonel Cavanaugh
Reaching for a star, you fool.
Hamid
Yet a fool may touch a star, Colonel Cavanaugh, if he reaches high enough.
Colonel Cavanaugh
But not possess it as you would.

Mrs. Hilda Courtney
It's so fearfully awkward, having a dead body lying about. Don't you agree Mr. Holmes?
🧡
👏
🥺

Holmes
Somehow, the tune... is the key to the mystery. It must be the tune. Otherwise, why use three musical boxes to convey the message? Why not collar boxes, or shoe boxes?
