This line comes from "The Hounds of Baskervilles" featuring Sherlock Holmes. Here is the exchange: Sherlock: I never did ask, Dr. Franklyn. What is it exactly that you do here? Doctor: Oh, Mr. Holmes, I would love to tell you, but then, of course, I'd have to kill you. Sherlock: That would be tremendously ambitious of you. The story first appeared in 1901 serialized in the Strand Magazine before coming out in a book. The book has been a popular one ever since, a beloved crime novel and a staple of high school English literature classes (at least in the United States).

Your ex friend clearly missed that class.
