The Return of Sherlock Holmes

The Return of Sherlock Holmes1986



[last lines]

Dr Watson:
Not for the first time, Holmes, you've presumed to take the law into your own hands.

Sherlock Holmes:
I have never loved. But if I did, and if the woman I had loved had met with such an end, I might act even as our lawless lion-hunter has done. Wouldn't you?

Dr Watson:
Yes, I suppose so. But that's not the point.

Sherlock Holmes:
The point is: why should I do the work of the official police? And as you're very fond of telling me... I'm on holiday!
