Sherlock Holmes
- Sherlock Holmes: It has its costs.
- Dr. Joan Watson: What does?
- Sherlock Holmes: Learning to see the puzzle in everything. They're everywhere. Once you start looking, it's impossible to stop. It just so happens that people, with all the deceits and delusions that inform everything they do, tend to be the most fascinating puzzles of all. Of course, they don't always appreciate being seen as such.
- Dr. Joan Watson: Seems like a lonely way to live.
- Sherlock Holmes: As I said. Has its costs.
- Dr. Joan Watson: You speak Mandarin?
- Sherlock Holmes: Not as well as I'd like. You?
- Dr. Joan Watson: Not as well as my mother would like.
- Sherlock Holmes: I loathe bankers. They rigged the roulette wheel of commerce, very nearly destroyed the world economy, and they still think if they wear suits, they'll be treated like respectable folk instead of the crooks that they are.
- Dr. Joan Watson: I don't think I've ever seen you so happy back in the conference room, mastering the masters of the universe.
- Sherlock Holmes: Bit of a letdown, actually. I think I could've gotten twenty times my normal rate.
- Dr. Joan Watson: What is your normal rate?
- Sherlock Holmes: Oh, I don't have one. Remind me to make one up before I leave.
- Sherlock Holmes: Language is evolving, Watson, becoming a more efficient version of itself. I love text shorthand. It allows you to convey content and tone without losing velocity.
