:05:00
Would you like to see
how l've treated it?
:05:01
l can hardly wait.
l'm sure l shall find out...
:05:03
all sorts
of fascinating things...
:05:05
about the case
that l never knew before.
:05:07
Just what do you mean by that?
:05:09
Oh, come now, Watson.
:05:10
You must admit you have
a tendency to overromanticize.
:05:12
You've taken my simple
exercises in logic...
:05:15
and embellished them,
embroidered them...
:05:18
exaggerated them.
:05:19
l deny the accusation.
:05:20
You've described me as 6'4''...
:05:21
whereas l am barely 6'1''.
:05:24
A bit of poetic license.
:05:26
You've saddled me with
this improbable costume...
:05:27
which the public
now expects me to wear.
:05:29
That is not my doing.
Blame it on the illustrator.
:05:31
Made me out to be
a violin virtuoso.
:05:34
There's an invitation...
:05:35
from the Liverpool Symphony
to appear as soloist...
:05:37
in ''The Mendelssohn Concerto.''
:05:38
Really?
:05:39
The fact is, l could
barely hold my own...
:05:41
in the pit orchestra
of a second-rate music hall.
:05:44
You're much too modest.
:05:46
You have given the reader
the distinct impression...
:05:48
that l'm a misogynist.
:05:50
Actually,
l don't dislike women.
:05:52
l merely distrust them.
:05:55
The twinkle in the eye
and the arsenic in the soup.
:05:58
lt's those little touches
that make you colorful.
:06:01
Lurid is more like it.
:06:03
You've painted me
as a hopeless dope addict...
:06:05
just because l occasionally
take a 5%% solution of cocaine.
:06:09
A seven percent solution.
:06:10
Five percent.
:06:12
Don't you think l'm aware
you've been diluting it...
:06:14
behind my back?
:06:16
As a doctor,
as well as your friend...
:06:19
l strongly disapprove...
:06:20
of this insidious habit
of yours.
:06:23
My dear friend,
as well as my dear doctor...
:06:26
l only resort to narcotics...
:06:27
when l'm suffering
from acute boredom...
:06:30
when there are
no interesting cases...
:06:31
to engage my mind.
:06:32
Look at this.
:06:34
An urgent appeal to find
some missing midgets.
:06:36
Did you say midgets?
:06:38
Mmm, six of them.
The Tumbling Piccolos...
:06:41
an acrobatic act
with some circus.
:06:43
Disappeared between
London and Bristol.
:06:46
Well, don't you
find that intriguing?
:06:47
Extremely so.
:06:49
You see, they're
not only midgets...
:06:51
but also anarchists.
:06:53
Anarchists?
:06:54
By now they have been
smuggled to Vienna...
:06:56
dressed as little girls
in organdy pinafores.
:06:58
They are to greet
the czar of all the Russias...
