Quotes from the Movie The Great Mouse Detective

Basil, wait. I didn't mean we'd....

Dawson

From that time on, Basil and I were a close team, and over the years we had many cases together. But I shall always look back on that first with the most fondness: My introduction to Basil of Baker Street: A great mouse detective.

Dawson

A surgeon to be exact. Just returned from military duty in Afghanistan. Am I right?

Basil

Quite simple, really. You've sewn your torn cuff together with a Lambert stich, which, of course, only a surgeon uses. And the thread is a unique form of cat-gut, easily distinguished by its peculiar pungency, found only in the Afghan provinces.

Basil

Actually, it's elementary, my dear Dawson.

Basil

Now, hurry along, Dawson! We must be off to Toby's.

Basil

Oh, you must meet him, he's just the chap for this.

Basil

Hah! I should think a stout-hearted army mouse like you would surely leap at the chance for adventure!

Basil

What?! Certainly not! This is no business for children.

Basil

My dear, I don't think you understand. It will be quite dangerous. [sits on his violin, snapping it in two] Why you-! Look what- [restrains himself] Young lady, you are most definitely not accompanying us! And that is final!

Basil

Ratigan, so help me, I'll see you behind bars yet!

Basil

How could I have been so blind?

Basil

Ratigan's proved he's more clever than I. He never would have walked into such an obvious trap.

Basil

It's finally happened! I've been outwitted!

Basil

Beaten! Duped! Made a fool of! So ridiculed and belittled!

Basil
