S: Good Lord! Mrs Hudson, there is a woman in my sitting room! Is it intentional?
H:She's a client. Said you were out, insisted on waiting.
J:Would you, er, care to sit down?
S:Didn't you ask her what she wanted?
H:You ask her!
S:Why didn't you ask her?
H:How could I, what with me not talking and everything?!
S:For God's sake, give her some lines, she's perfectly capable of starving us!
Good afternoon. I am Sherlock Holmes, this is my friend and colleague, Dr Watson.
You may speak freely in front of him, as he rarely understands a word.
J:Holmes!
S:However, before you do, allow me to make some trifling observations.
You have an impish sense of humour, which currently you are deploying to ease a degree of personal anguish. You have recently married a man of a seemingly kindly disposition, who has now abandoned you for an unsavoury companion of dubious morals. You have come to this agency as a last resort, in the hope that reconciliation may still be possible.
J:Good Lord, Holmes!
S:All of this is, of course, perfectly evident from your perfume.
J:Her perfume?
S:Yes, her perfume, which brings insight to me and disaster to you.
J:How so?
S:Because I recognised it
and you did not.
J:Mary!
W:John.
J:Why, in God's name, are you pretending to be a client?
W:Because I could think of no other way to see my husband, husband.
J:It was an affair of international intrigue.
W:It was a murdered country squire.
J:Nevertheless, matters were pressing.
W:I don't mind you going, my darling,
I mind you leaving me behind.
J:But what could you do?!
W:Well, what do you do,
except wander around taking notes, looking surprised?!
S:Enough!
The stage is set, the curtain rises.
We are ready to begin.
J:Begin what?
S:Sometimes to solve a case, one must first solve another.
J:Oh, you have a case, then, a new one?
S:An old one, very old.
I shall have to go deep.
J:Deep? Into what?
S:Myself.

1:We've landed, sir. We've landed.
S:No, no, not now, not now! Not now, not now.
2:I trust you had a pleasant flight, sir?
C:Well, a somewhat shorter exile than we'd imagined, brother mine,
but probably adequate, given your levels of OCD.
S:I have to go back!
C:What?
S:I was...I was nearly there, I nearly had it!
C:What on earth are you talking about?
J:Go back where? You didn't get very far.
S:Ricoletti and his abominable wife! Don't you understand?!
W:No, of course we don't, you're not making any sense, Sherlock.
S:It was a case, a famous one from 100 years ago.
Lodged in my hard drive, she seemed to be dead, but then she came back.
J:What, like Moriarty?
S:Shot herself in the head, exactly like Moriarty.
W:But you've only just been told.
We've only just found out,
he's on every TV screen in the country.
S:Yes? So? It's been five minutes since Mycroft called.
What progress have you made? What have you been doing?
J:More to the point, what have YOU been doing?
S:I've been in my Mind Palace, of course.
J:Of course.
S:Running an experiment. How would I have solved the crime, if I'd been there in 1895?
C:Sherlock.
S:I had all the details perfect.
I was there, all of it, everything. I was immersed.
C:Of course you were.
W:You've been reading John's blog. The story of how you met.
S:It helps me if I see myself through his eyes sometimes.
I'm so much cleverer.
C:Do you really think anyone is believing you?
J:No, he can do this, I've seen it. The Mind Palace, it's like a whole world in his head.
S: Yes, and I need to get back there.
C:The Mind Palace is a memory technique, I know what it can do and I know what it most certainly cannot.
S:Maybe there are one or two things that I know that you don’t.
C:Oh, there are.
Did you make a list?
S:You've put on weight.
That waistcoat is clearly newer than the jacket.
C:Stop this! Just stop it! Did you make a list?!
S:Of what?
C:Everything, Sherlock. Everything you've taken.
J:No, it's not that, he goes into a sort of trance.
I've seen him do it.
C:We have an agreement, my brother and I, ever since that day.
Wherever I find him,
whatever back alley or doss-house.
There will always be a list.
