"I can tell by the redness of your face how many blocks you've run." "Four and a quarter blocks, by my calculation which would put you at the Rathbone Inn." "Since there's been talk of little else but the diamond robberies I concluded that a new one had occurred." "I assume, in your haste, you neglected to bring a newspaper for verification?" "Drat it, Holmes, sometimes my head is emptier than my hat." "Jerry, could you come in here, please?" "HOLMES:" "I say, Jerry, quickly now." "Ah, there you are."

"Jerry, behave." "Oh!" "Dr. Watson, miss." "Dreadfully sorry about that." "No need to apologize, gentlemen." "My admirers often act like that." "But thank you so much for coming." "I'm being blackmailed, Mr. Holmes." "I noticed by the ring on your finger you're engaged to be married." "I presume that's relevant?" "RED:" "Very perceptive, sir." "My fiancé is a well-to-do high-society chap who doesn't know I work in this low-class music hall."

"Where is your residence, if I may ask?" "The corner of Brighton and Lane." "That's right behind the Punjab embassy." "Doctor?" "Doctor." "Yes, Holmes?" "What is it?" "I have just deduced the motive for the blackmail." "Do you recall the case of the Red-Headed League?" "That was the crime perpetrated by your arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty." "I think this case is quite similar." "It's not really money they're after." "It's time." "They need Miss Red to be away from her home." "I don't follow, old top." "The most famous single jewel in the world, the Star of Punjab will be on display starting tomorrow at the Punjab embassy."

"[CHUCKLES]" "I can't tells you how proud I am that you're following in your old man's footsteps as a guard-type dog." "I'm gonna learn you three lessons of being a guard dog just like my pop taught me." "First, you gotta inner-spectorate the area around the diamond and make sure the floor is all secure-like." "Next, you gotta check the inter-gility of the glass." "Yup, solid as a rock." "A glass rock, that is." "[CHUCKLES]" "That's a good one." "Heh-heh-heh." "Oh, I get it." "Heh, heh." "Going a little too fast, eh?" "I'll try and slows it down a bit." "Lastly, and most importantly you always, always gotta make sure the thing you're guarding in this case the diamond, is safe." "[CHUCKLES]" "I know you're excited..." "[BARKS] ...but there's no need for conniptions." "We already checked the floor, son." "That was lesson one." "My boy, you still gots a lot to learn about guard-dogging." "Hyah!" "If my theory is correct, and I'm certain that it is there should be an entrance to a tunnel somewhere in this house."

"The Star of Punjab has already been stolen." "They cut a hole right through the embassy floor." "[SNEEZES]" "Hadn't we ought to report this to the police?" "HOLMES:" "At this stage, it would only cast suspicion on you, Miss Red." "I need to determine who is behind this theft." "And this may be just the clue we need." "What is it?" "A porcelain button." "Unless I miss my guess, this could only be the work of Brett Jeremy a tailor in Lancashire." "[ALARM RINGING THEN ALL GASP]" "WATSON:" "Come on, chaps." "What are you doing, son?" "You're only supposed to ring the alarm if something happens to the" "[GASPS]" "Hurry." "[PANTS]" "We must split up." "Watson and I will go to Lancashire in pursuit of this button."
