Professor Baynes: Going to sweat me in the box, are you?
Sherlock Holmes: It's just a room. You've made an error in judgement about me. About the friendships I've made. Since coming to New York, I've had the great privilege to be called friend by some of the finest people on earth. I didn't deserve their friendship, but they gave it none the less.
[pause, then softly, directly]
Sherlock Holmes: There's nothing I wouldn't do for Marcus Bell, and I will not allow you to stand in the way of his success.
[Hands Baynes a business card]
Professor Baynes: What's this?
Sherlock Holmes: It's a contact of mine. He's currently looking for the new head of security for a major company. I recommended you for the job. And, in truth, I think you would excel at it. You always said you've never achieved the career heights to which you were due. Well, now's your chance. The starting salary will make your head spin. You'll resign your position at the college effective immediately. And someone else will step in to teach your class.
Professor Baynes: Meaning your man, Bell, will be allowed in. You'll win. Again.
Sherlock Holmes: If you decide not to accept my offer, if you persist in standing in his way, then you'll make an enemy of me. You might have seen me as en enemy before, but I assure you, Baynes... I never was.
[Softly]
Sherlock Holmes: You'll not like having me as an enemy.
[With a small smile]
Sherlock Holmes: The choice is yours.
