:13:01
Well, I didn't get the appointment.
:13:04
Instead, what I got was
a quite unanticipated public demand
:13:07
to meet this Sherlock Holmes.
:13:08
So you hired this Reginald Kincaid.
:13:13
He was an actor.
:13:14
Unfortunately, he was also
a gambler, a womanizer,
:13:17
and a drunkard.
:13:19
John, you have jeopardized
the integrity of English literature.
:13:22
Still, I should have known.
:13:25
He was always borrowing
large sums of money off me
:13:28
and never paying me back.
:13:31
The cad.
:13:32
Don't worry.
We deducted it from your royalties.
:13:35
- Who else knows of this?
- No one.
:13:40
Except Mrs. Hudson
and the Irregulars.
:13:43
But it's time now for the public
to learn the truth.
:13:45
The truth?
:13:48
Certainly.
:13:50
No one will want to
read of that twit again.
:13:52
His popularity will plummet.
:13:54
They'll be desperate
for my new creation.
:13:56
What new creation?
:13:58
John Watson, the Crime Doctor!
:14:01
I could have it ready
for your very next issue.
:14:04
Sit down, John.
:14:12
People buy the Strand magazine
:14:14
expecting to read a story
in which Sherlock Holmes
:14:17
solves the case,
not the Crime Surgeon.
:14:21
Crime Doctor.
:14:22
Crime Doctor, Crime Surgeon,
Crime Dentist...
:14:25
who cares, really?
:14:27
Let's face it, John,
:14:29
Sherlock Holmes is worth
a fortune to the magazine.
:14:31
You're stuck with him.
:14:34
Norman, I'll write what I want.
There's nothing you can do.
:14:38
The devil there isn't.
:14:42
You can't go in there!
:14:44
What is this?
:14:45
Sorry, Doctor, but we found something.
Down by the docks.
:14:49
- Excellent!
- Hello, ducks.
:14:51
If you'll excuse us,
we have work to do.
:14:53
Do you work here?
:14:54
Watson, I'm warning you...
:14:56
it's Sherlock Holmes, or we'll
sue you for everything you're worth!
:14:59
And I mean everything!
