Re: Comparing scenes in different adaptations
Violinist Sherlock:
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Comparing scenes in different adaptations
"Blame it on the illustrator" scene was in The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes already:

Re: Comparing scenes in different adaptations
This part of TPLOSH is interesting too:
It immediately brings to mind "Dust is eloquent" scene from TRF:

Re: Comparing scenes in different adaptations
Wow! Was "the scene" from HLV inspired by the Matrix? Or is it just a coincidence? Some interesting parallels:

Re: Comparing scenes in different adaptations
The original story called "The Final Problem":
"'You evidently don't know me,' said he.
"'On the contrary,' I answered, 'I think it is fairly evident that I do. Pray take a chair. I can spare you five minutes if you have anything to say.'"
'All that I have to say has already crossed your mind,' said he."
'Then possibly my answer has crossed yours,' I replied.
