prof_pangaeaI don't know if I can ever properly describe the bizarre feeling one has after hearing Holmes say:
"Nothing missing in my toolbox, I can tell ya. -- Wanna have a look?"
Also, you have to enjoy the tone in which Milverton says to Watson, "Now, be good enough to join your...partner, by the door." after their attempt at waylaying the slimy little blackmailer goes awry.
Holmes: "Surely you don't think I should worry about the personal risks when a lady's in need of my help!"
Watson: "Ah ah, now don't try to win me over with that argument."
Watson: "I give you my word of honour, and I never broke it in my life, that I will take a cab straight to Scotland Yard and give you away, unless you let me share this adventure with you."
Watson: [resigned] "So, from this moment on, we're criminals."
Holmes: "Actually, we've been criminals since the first moment we walked through the gates. Entry with intent to burgle. When I put my hand through the glass the offense changed to burglary proper -- Section 25 of the larceny act. Maximum punishment: life imprisonment."
Watson: "Thank you very much for the information."
Holmes: "What's wrong?"
Watson: "Well.. it's this. In that room, when I was ah, when I was on guard and you were working on the safe..."
Holmes: "Yes?"
Watson: "Eh... I don't think I've ever been as -- thrilled. Not once. Not in all the times we were on the right side of the law, rather than the wrong. I don't know. I... I rejoiced in it."
