    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The title echoes a line from the 1890 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle novel, "The Sign of the Four," in which Sherlock describes his cocaine injection as a seven-per-cent solution. The "One Percent" comes from the movement that campaigns against rich people.
    • Goofs
      When Joan is awakened by the chicken outside her door, her hair style changes three times within a few seconds: when she first gets up, when she then opens her door to find the chicken, and then when she carries it downstairs to complain to Holmes.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Joan Watson: [Watson carries one of the chickens down to Holmes] Why is Romulus outside my door?

      Sherlock Holmes: That's Remus.

      Dr. Joan Watson: I don't care which cock I'm holding, I just want to know how it got there.

      [Holmes smirks]

      Dr. Joan Watson: Okay, congratulations, you got me to say it.

      Sherlock Holmes: I don't know if you've settled on an epitaph yet, but it does occur to me that that would look fantastic on a tombstone.
