Orville:
Are you Mister S., for Sigerson, Holmes?
Sigerson Holmes:
Perhaps.
Orville:
Do you have a brother whose first name is Sherlock?
Sigerson Holmes:
I do not.
Orville:
You do have a brother?
Sigerson Holmes:
I do.
Orville:
Might I inquire as to his first name?
Sigerson Holmes:
"Sheer luck."
|
|
Sigerson Holmes:
The clue obviously lies in the word "cheddar." Let's see now. Seven letters. Rearranged, they come to, let me see: "Rachedd." "Dechdar." "Drechad." "Chaderd" - hello, chaderd! Unless I'm very much mistaken, chaderd is the Egyptian word meaning "to eat fat." Now we're getting somewhere!

Sigerson Holmes:
You call this tea?
Orville:
No, I call that hot water.

Jenny Hill:
My name is Jenny Hill, and I'm simultaneously funny and sad.
|
|
Jenny Hill:
How do you do? My name is Bessie Bellwood.
Sigerson Holmes:
LIAR!
Jenny Hill:
Oh! You don't fool around, do you? How do you know that I'm not Bessie Bellwood?
Sigerson Holmes:
[singing] There's no harm in taking a kiss/It's never missed...
Jenny Hill:
[singing next line] If I'd known that love was like this, should I have kissed?
Sigerson Holmes:
[singing] Love's a game if you are clever/Play your cards and go...
Jenny Hill:
[singing next line] Love with me will last forever/That is all I know - chorus! - But you don't love as I love...
Sigerson Holmes:
All right, all right, enough!
[singing]
Sigerson Holmes:
Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy poo/Quite a farmer's daughter, Phyllis...
Jenny Hill:
[hesitant singing] Piggy, piggy, piggy, piggy, pig - Well, I don't think I know that one.
Sigerson Holmes:
Pity! Next time you decide to impersonate a music hall singer who's been dead for the past twelve years, I suggest you learn her full repertoire! Won't you come in, MISS LIAR?

Gambetti's Opera Troupe:
[rushed, panicked singing] The chicken was in peril/The princess was delicious...
|
|
Jenny Hill:
[fearfully wailing a song] Away, away, away, away, away, away, away...
Sigerson Holmes:
What are you doing?
Jenny Hill:
Whenever I'm petrified, I either cry or sing.
[continues]
Orville:
London streets and places of all interest! Abby Road! Abby Street! Abigail Gardens! Abbington Road! Adelphi Terrace! Adelphi Theatre!...

Sigerson Holmes:
"Eduardo Gambetti"? The name strikes a bell. Ever heard of him, Sacker?
Orville:
[slaps head; low voice] "Oh, not Gambetti again!"
[high voice]
Orville:
"'Fraid so, sir."
[low]
Orville:
"Fat little fart, fancies himself as an opera singer."
[high]
Orville:
"That's him, sir."
[low]
Orville:
"Pour us some tea, will you, Sacker?"
[normal voice]
Orville:
Yes, sir.
[low]
Orville:
"How does he do it, Greerson?"
[high]
Orville:
"Pays the highest prices for spicy lettuce, sir. Everything on the market goes to Gambetti."
[low]
Orville:
"Oh, the swine."
[high]
Orville:
"Swine he may be, sir, but he certainly is the cleverest of all the blackmailers."
[smiles]
Jenny Hill:
I'm not sure... What just happened?
Sigerson Holmes:
Never mind. I'll explain it to you later.

Sigerson Holmes:
Jenny!
[singing]
Sigerson Holmes:
Have you seen the latest dance that's come along?/Jenny, go and put your Sunday hat and jacket on/There's going to be some jollicky, come with me, happy-py, fill your heart with ecstasy/Jenny/
Jenny Hill:
It's the greatest thing creation's ever known/
Sigerson Holmes:
Take a little tip from me/Hold tight/
Jenny Hill:
I'm all right/
Sigerson Holmes:

Jenny Hill:

Jenny Hill:

Orville:
Come... on... and/
Sigerson Holmes, Jenny Hill, Orville:
Hop/Hop/Come and do the kangaroo hop/Hop/That's the dance for me and you/If you're over 80, you can waltz a little while/But hopping about the parlor is the very latest style/Come on and hop/Hop/Hear the music goin' pop/You'll never, never want to stop/There's no other kind of dance at all/So come along, my honey, make the others look small/Come and do the kangaroo/If you know what's good for you/Come and do the kangaroo hop...

Moriarty:
[Gambetti's just caught him trying to break a vase over his head] You've got a lovely vase.
Eduardo Gambetti, Blackmailer:
And *you* got a lovely face!

[first lines]
Royal Herald:
The Foreign Secretary, Lord Redcliff!
Lord Redcliff:
[rehearsing what to say under his breath] Your Majesty, being inside of your confidence is the greatest joy I've ever known. Ahem...
Queen Victoria:
[handing him the document] Lord Redcliff, the fate of England is now in your hands.
Lord Redcliff:
Your Confidence... being inside of Your Majesty is the greatest single joy I've ever known.
[realizing what he's said, he tosses the document away]
Lord Redcliff:
Woof!
Lord Redcliff:
It's alright, Your Majesty! I've got it! I've got it. All's well that ends well!
Queen Victoria:***
