A scene from Sherlock Holmes 2009
Sherlock Holmes

[Cuts to Holmes retelling the story to Clarkie in a carriage]

Of course, she misinterpreted my meaning entirely.

Constable Clark

Naturally, sir.

Sherlock Holmes

That's why I find this modern religious fervor so troubling. There's no room for misunderstanding.

Constable Clark

Faith runs right over reason, sir.

Sherlock Holmes

Indeed. And chamber maids were once such a liberal breed.

Constable Clark

My wife's a chamber maid, sir. [pause] Anyhow, it's a good thing she was offended, sir. Otherwise we'd never have found you. The Inspector's been over to Baker Street himself twice this morning, sir.

Sherlock Holmes

Ah, yes.

Constable Clark

[Another pause]

Just joking about the wife, sir.
