1* At the beginning, Lord Redcliffe, the foreign secretary, is delivering a message to Queen Victoria. As he walks toward her throne, he rehearses what he's going to say, namely: "Your Majesty, being inside of your confidence is the greatest single joy I've ever known." Sure enough, when he's kneeling before her, he ''almost'' says it exactly: "Your Confidence, being inside of Your Majesty is the greatest single joy I've ever known!" Then he [[OhCrap realizes what he just said]].
2* The entire opening with Holmes and Watson, but especially the first bit:
3-->'''Holmes:''' (via a handwritten sign) "Ugly 6'3" murderer at keyhole."
4-->'''Watson:''' "Holy Jesus Christ!"
5-->'''Holmes:''' (via another sign) "Act normally."
6-->'''Watson:''' "...but it's cold outside!"
7* Sacker has been holding a cup, and seems to be proffering it to Sigurson, who takes it and sips.
8-->'''Sigurson:''' You call this tea?
9-->'''Sacker:''' No sir. I call it hot water. I was merely rinsing out the cup when you grabbed it.
10* The entire opera sequence.
11-->'''Henchman:''' Why don't we all drink some-
12-->'''Gambetti:''' (throws prop at him) SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
13* The entire auction scene, especially when the otherwise dimwitted minion Finney (Roy Kinnear) has to help Math Professor Moriarty (Leo Mc Kern) use long division with decimals:
14-->'''Moriarty:''' Oh Christ, how do you do this?
15-->'''Finney:''' Well, you put down 11.18...
16-->'''Moriarty:''' Oh sure, I wouldn't know even to put down 11.18.., What I'm askin' ya idiot, is whether you multiply or divide?
17-->'''Finney:''' Divide.
18-->'''Moriarty:''' Are you sure?
19-->'''Finney:''' Yeah.
