"[last lines] Sherlock Holmes: Yes, but this is a great country, Watson. Dr. John H. Watson: It certainly is, my dear fellow. Sherlock Holmes: Look, up there ahead, the Capitol, the very heart of this democracy. Dr. John H. Watson: Democracy, the only hope for the future, hey, Holmes? Sherlock Holmes: "It's not given to us to peer into the mysteries of the future... but, in the days to come, the British and American people will, for their own safety and for the good of all, walk together in majesty, and in justice, and in peace." Dr. John H. Watson: That's magnificent. I quite agree with you. Sherlock Holmes: Not with me, with Mr. Winston Churchill. I was quoting from the speech he made not so long ago in that very building."
