• Inspector Gregson : is that Sir George Fenwick?

  Sherlock Holmes : Yes.

  Inspector Gregson : Is that young lady his daughter?

  Sherlock Holmes : Don't be so naive Inspector.

• Inspector Gregson : What are you looking at, Mr. Holmes?

  Sherlock Holmes : Looking at a very handsome woman. Not born to the purple, but, uh, giving an excellent imitation.

• [first lines] 

  Inspector Gregson : [voiceover]  I won't forget that morning, not if I live to be a hundred. I counted the men as they marched out of the Yard. They'd hardly slept for weeks. We at the CID had slept even less, for the nightmare that kept us awake was all the same nightmare. That's why we weren't surprised when the Commissioner asked us up to the conference room for a bit of a talk. He'd talk to us plenty, we knew that. But it didn't help any to know what was ahead of us.

• Inspector Gregson : So I put my pride in my pocket and went to see the man that so often helped out Inspector Lastrade and myself in the past, Mr. Sherlock Holmes.
