Sherlock Holmes : Watson, what are you doing?
Dr. John H. Watson : I'm trying to corner the last pea on my plate.
[Holmes squashes the pea]
Dr. John H. Watson : You squashed my pea.
Sherlock Holmes : Well, now you've got it cornered.
Dr. John H. Watson : Yes, but squashing a fellow's pea.
Sherlock Holmes : Just trying to help.
Dr. John H. Watson : I didn't want it squashed, I don't like it that way - I like it whole so that you can feel it pop when you bite down on it.
Sherlock Holmes : Sorry, I wasn't thinking.

Sherlock Holmes : [Reacting to the tardiness of the Prince of Wales] I suppose since, after all, he's only the Prince of Wales, we should not expect the same degree of courtesy.
Dr. John H. Watson : And since you are the Prince of Detectives, Holmes, I don't think you should presume to criticize a man who one day will be King of England.
Sherlock Holmes : [amused] Well done, Watson! You have cut me to the quick. Hmm! Only the Prince of Detectives, you say? Then who, pray tell, is the King?
Dr. John H. Watson : Lestrade, of course.
[Holmes laughs]

Dr. John H. Watson : [Offended by the booing of the Prince of Wales by the theater gallery] It's a damn disgrace!
Sherlock Holmes : On the contrary. I prefer bad manners in the theater to active violence in the streets.
