Quotes

The Spider Woman

Edit
  • Artie - Shooting Gallery Attendant: Hey gov', sir, try your luck on Mussolini, Hiro Hito, or Hitler. Hit 'em where their hearts ought to be and listen to the 'ollow sound.
  • [last lines]
  • Sherlock Holmes: Yes, Watson, Miss Spedding deserves credit for picking the most logical spot in the world... to commit my murder.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Oh, where is that?
  • Sherlock Holmes: In the middle of a crowd.
  • Inspector Lestrade: Him and his meet me here and meet me there. Where the... Where is he anyhow?
  • Dr. John H. Watson: I'm blessed if I know. He said wait here by the shooting gallery and look inconspicuous.
  • Inspector Lestrade: Inconspicuous? Oh...
  • [Lestrade starts whistling and inspecting the ceiling]
  • Dr. John H. Watson: He said inconspicuous, Lestrade, not half-witted.
  • Sherlock Holmes: I expect nothing... and everything.
  • Sherlock Holmes: [on the pajama suicides] Indubidably, these murders are the work of a well-organized gang and directing them is one of the most fiendishly clever minds in all Europe today.
  • Inspector Lestrade: Any notion who?
  • Sherlock Holmes: I suspect a woman. Do you have tobacco around this place, Watson?
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Yes, I've packed it. A woman? You amaze me, Holmes. Why a woman?
  • Sherlock Holmes: Because the method, whatever it is, is particularly subtle and cruel. Feline, not canine.
  • Inspector Lestrade: Poppy-cock. Canine, feline, quinine, when a bloke does himself in, that's suicide.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Unless the bloke is driven to suicide and then in that case it's murder.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Driven? That *sounds* like a woman, doesn't it?
  • Sherlock Holmes: Definitely, a female Moriarty. Clever, ruthless... and above all, cautious.
  • Sherlock Holmes: I'm sorry, Watson, the pleasures of the chase are no longer for me. I'm through with crime now and forever.
  • Sherlock Holmes: Remarkable woman. Audacious and deadly as one of her own spiders.
  • Sherlock Holmes: He's gone.
  • Dr. John H. Watson: Blast his eyes!
  • Mrs. Hudson: Now now, Doctor Watson - don't get down in the dumps. What can't be cured must be endured you know.
  • Adrea Spedding: I'm so sorry we have nothing in the house for burns. I so seldom get burned.
  • [first lines]
  • News Vendor: Read all about the pyjama suicide. Here you are, governor. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Read all about it, another pyjama suicide.
