“I don't like your work, Conover. I've seen quite a bit of it both here in London and and elsewhere on the continent. Don't like the smell of you either. That underground smell, the sick sweetness of decay. You haven't robbed and killed merely for gain like any ordinary halfway decent thug. No, you're in love with cruelty for it's own sake.”

Basil Rathbone - Sherlock Holmes

“- Doctor Watson: A woman? You amaze me, Holmes. Why a woman?
