Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : You were asking me if I'd found anything, and the answer is maybe. Two years ago, Charles Milverton referred a client to "the Sheriff." His name was Abraham Zelner, a morbidly obese man who wanted to sue an airline for removing him from a flight. Earlier we were theorizing that "Henry 8" was Milverton's accomplice. Henry *the* VIII, as I'm sure you're aware, was the fattest monarch in British history.

  Dr. Joan Watson : So you think Zelner was his accomplice, and that Milverton gave him that code name because he was heavy-set?

  Sherlock Holmes : Orson Welles was heavy-set. Abraham Zelner could pull small moons out of orbit.

• Sherlock Holmes : [answering his phone]  The Brownstone is on fire, my bees have escaped, and there is a giant comet heading for Manhattan.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Excuse me?

  Sherlock Holmes : The way the evening is going, I thought you could only be calling with more good news.
