Sherlock Holmes

Question 1

Do you wish to lodge a complaint against these people?

Answer 1

I will handle this matter in my own way.

Question 2

…there’s no telling what damage you will cause.

Answer 2

What do I care for damage? I’m only interested in one thing…money!

Question 3

The insurance people will pay you a fair price

Answer 3

I am not interested in a fair price. You may tell your employers the letters will cost them thousands and thousands of pounds.

Question 4

Don’t let it spread!

Answer 4

Why don’t you help them?

Question 5

…or, in this case, letters!!!

Answer 5

I am undone!

Question 6

My only wish is to help you. You are in the clutches of two villainous criminals.

Answer 6

You’re clever.

Question 7

Brilliant

Answer 7

You have the letters. You’ve won.

Question 8

That would be stealing.

Answer 8

(Stands) You cannot have the letters.

Question 9

…I would advise you to leave this house at once.

Answer 9

(Looks to Madge and Larrabee) I am not afraid of them any longer, Mr Holmes. If they attempt to seize these letters I shall destroy them. Year them to shreds, eat them, burn them, but destroy them I shall. There is no profit in ashes.

Question 10

You are a remarkable young woman, Miss Faulkner.

Answer 10

I shall go to my room. (Cross right.) Stand aside. (Exit right.)

Question 11

No need to hide in shadows. I’m sure Lestrade didn’t see you.

Answer 11

How did you know it was me?

Question 12

…Won’t you sit down, my dear. I’m Dr. Watson.

Answer 12

(Nods, sits.) Thank you. I would like to speak with you…privately.

Question 13

…You may speak openly in front of Watson.

Answer 13

As you wish. I’ve come to correct a false impression.

Question 14

Indeed

Answer 14

I told you my prime motive was a desire for money. I do not want money.

Question 15

You seek justice for your sister.

Answer 15

Justice? There is no justice. I seek punishment. Revenge!

Question 16

Revenge is not only sweet, it’s sometimes therapeutic.

Answer 16

I seek nothing for myself.

Question 17

Why didn’t you confront the prince outside the house?

Answer 17

That wouldn’t prove anything. I want the world to know of his disgrace, his cruelty.

Question 18

This is all you wanted to tell me?

Answer 18

Why didn’t you seize the letters when you had the opportunity?

Question 19

Because I am a detective second and a gentleman first.

Answer 19

I see. (Stands.) I’ll take no more of your time.

Question 20

…She’s famous for her cucumber sandwiches.

Answer 20

No, thank you, Dr Watson. I’ve already imposed.

Question 21

You’re still at the Larrabees?

Answer 21

I have made arrangements to move to a hotel. Modest but fashionable.

Question 22

Wise.

Answer 22

Good day…Sherlock Holmes.

Question 23

Holmes! (Enter after Larrabee places letters on table.) You!

Answer 23

(Coughs.) What is this place? Smells of a gas leak.

Question 24

…How did you get here?

Answer 24

I followed you in a cab.

Question 25

What are you going to do? Inform the police?

Answer 25

I know what you're up to, if that concerns you. You're going to sell counterfeit letters to Mr. Holmes. Or try to.

Question 26

You're going to warn him, eh?

Answer 26

I will not let him be swindled and deceived.

Question 27

How do you plan to stop me?

Answer 27

I could buy you off.

Question 28

Why you should you be protective of Sherlock Holmes?

Answer 28

That is my affair.

...How much would you give?

Answer 29

The real letters.

Question 30

Have you got them with you?

Answer 30

No, but I can get them.

Question 31

...Otherwise he wouldn't be coming here to buy the letters.

Answer 31

Fake letters.

Question 32

He doesn't know that.

Answer 32

Before he'd buy any letters he'd ask my permission.

Question 33

He won't get the chance.

Answer 33

What's that for?

Question 34

You'll see.

Answer 34

What villainy is this?

Question 35

Tie her up and gag her.

Answer 35

No, no, no.

Question 36

Don't struggle dearie. It'll make me irritated.

Answer 36

Wait! I'll tell you where the real letters are.

Question 37

Don't trust her.

Answer 37

Just promise not to go on with this.

Question 38

Come on.

Answer 38

No, no, please! Have you no shame?

Question 39

Give us any trouble, Mr Holmes, and the girl goes first.

Answer 39

They can't be trusted, Mr. Holmes.

Question 40

He presented his kindest complaints and wished you a pleasant journey.

Answer 40

Journey? What is he talking about, Mr. Holmes?

Question 41

...Ain't it pretty?

Answer 41

It's a bomb!

Question 42

They can't twist their hands out of those knots.

Answer 42

We're doomed.

Question 43

...Blown to bits in the Plumstead Marshes. Ha, ha, ha.

Answer 43

Who is his Professor they speak of?

Question 44

...That is why he has taken an interest in the letters.

Answer 44

I don't understand. Four minutes.

Question 45

...That he employed deception.

Answer 45

Go on.

This affront to the honor of he Russian Royal Family will demand satisfaction.

Satisfaction?

War.

Answer 47

War! Three minutes.

Question 48

...That is the scheme. Count on it.

Answer 48

Incredible.

Question 49

...but at the hands of a hired assassin.

Answer 49

Can I believe that? Two-and-a-half minutes.

Question 50

I know Moriarty's methods.

Answer 50

Although we will soon be going out together, I fell I hardly know you. You are are here, doomed, because of me. I cannot help but feel responsible.

Question 51

These things happen.

Answer 51

If only you had stayed out of the case.

Question 52

When Moriarty is involved, matters demand my presence. Two minutes.

Answer 52

Then this is...goodbye.

Question 53

I shall free myself from these bonds and survive.

Answer 53

How?

Question 54

...They had the amazing power to shrink their hands through intense meditation.

Answer 54

Meditation! You haven't time.

Never!

Answer 55

Thank heavens.

Question 56

...That and concentration, of course.

Answer 56

I will have to try some time, but not now.

Question 57

You're a brave young woman, Miss Faulkner.

Answer 57

At the moment, I'm a frightened young woman. (She's free, leaps up.) We must escape.

Question 58

After you, Miss Faulkner.

Answer 58

(Hurries off right.) There are only seconds left.

Question 59

You are a woman of strong will, Miss Faulkner.

You wouldn't let me thank you last evening.
