- Sherlock Holmes: [to Watson upon entering the brownstone] Has the captain been here, or have you taken to wearing his cologne?
- Mr. Morland Holmes: You don't look well.
- Sherlock Holmes: You look spry as ever. My compliments to the virgins whose blood you bathed in.
- Mr. Morland Holmes: I see that opiates haven't dulled your wit.
- Sherlock Holmes: Nor has old aged withered yours.
- Sherlock Holmes: If I wanted a distraction, Watson, I'd pay another visit to Athena and Minerva and thrust myself into work more aerobic than crime scene reconstruction.
- Dr. Joan Watson: When it comes to what we do, the only thing that matters to me is our partnership. So you go; I go. You offered me a job. I didn't take it to work with the police. I took it to work with you.
