Drat, I was looking forward to this week yet forgot to post Monday and Tuesday!
Anyway, I haven't finished book canon yet (am about halfway through Memoirs..., but the funniest bit so far is the ending of The Sign of the Four, with Holmes being a melodramatic junkie:
"The division seems rather unfair," I remarked. "You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?"
"For me," said Sherlock Holmes, "there still remains the cocaine-bottle." And he stretched his long white hand up for it.
The most touching moment (again, so far) was in "The Yellow Face":
It was a long ten minutes before Grant Munro broke the silence, and when his answer came it was one of which I love to think. He lifted the little child, kissed her, and then, still carrying her, he held his other hand out to his wife and turned towards the door
( ... )
Okay, sneaking in before it's midnight in some parts of the world, I've come to the conclusion that my favourite scene in the 2009 film is after Irene's visit. The whole scene is brilliant, but perhaps most of all Watson's guesses as to what Irene may want. "An alibi? A beard? A human canoe? She could sit on your back and paddle you down the Thames."

My french is... well it, actually, isn't. So, tell me, is it "Allons-y" there or is it my inner Dr Who fan making fun of me?
