The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes1984
Dr. John Watson:
[Watson and a disguised Holmes travel by hansom cab to Irene Adler's home to retrieve a compromising photograph] Well, the question is, where to find the photograph? I mean, the house has twice been burgled.
Sherlock Holmes:
Ah, she was too clever for them. She is a remarkable woman.
Dr. John Watson:
Well, they must have searched very thoroughly.
Sherlock Holmes:
*They* did not know how to look.
Dr. John Watson:
And how will you look?
Sherlock Holmes:
I shall not look.
Dr. John Watson:
What, then?
Sherlock Holmes:
I will allow her to show me.
Dr. John Watson:
[bursts out laughing] But she'll refuse!
Sherlock Holmes:
She will not be able to. Ah, we draw near the scene of action. We had better walk from here.
[knocks on the ceiling of the cab]
