• [watching the police interview a bombing suspect] 

  Dr. Joan Watson : You don't look convinced.

  Sherlock Holmes : Bomb building is a dangerous venture. It requires patience, precision, attention to detail. Mr. Jacobs's wristwatch is nine minutes slow, and his fly is three-quarters unzipped. That doesn't scream "detail-oriented."

  Dr. Joan Watson : Ted Kaczynski looked like a hobo puked another hobo. He managed to hurt plenty of people.

  Sherlock Holmes : And point taken.

• [Heather Vanowen checks on Sherlock Holmes in a conference room, where he is reviewing her company's personnel files for possible malcontents, then she strikes up a conversation about their mutual interest in crossword puzzles] 

  Sherlock Holmes : You want sex.

  Heather Vanowen : Excuse me?

  Sherlock Holmes : I'm not averse, Ms. Vanowen, I'm just busy. Perhaps we could set an appointment. You're flirting; this crossword talk. You find me attractive. The feeling is mutual. Mostly. The musculature of your legs, your shoulders, suggests an elasticity I find, uh, quite tantalizing. I must warn you, however, that a relationship between us could never go beyond the physical. No offense to you, of course. It's just not my way.

  Dr. Joan Watson : [entering conference room]  Hey. Am I interrupting?

  Heather Vanowen : No. Not even a little.

  [gets up and leaves the room]
