Quotes 

• Dr. Joan Watson : NYOOPI helps people find detectives. Why do you have a problem with that?

  Sherlock Holmes : Because I want people to be able find detectives who've earned the right to be called detectives.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Well, if it were up to you, there would only be four or five people like that in the whole world.

  Sherlock Holmes : Your point?

• Dr. Joan Watson : There have been a lot of guests this week, and I can't help but think that there might be more effective ways to work through everything that went down with Shinwell.

  Sherlock Holmes : Since everything went down with Shinwell, you've cleaned your office twice, you've taken three remedial cases, and then cleaned your office again, so is that the picture of mental health I should aspire to?

• Sherlock Holmes : Disgraced FBI agents, idiots off the street, me. We are all equal in the eyes of this group.

  Dr. Joan Watson : You're being a snob.

  Sherlock Holmes : Someone has to be.

• Beautiful Woman : [sees the bruises on his body]  I didn't do any of that, did I?

  Sherlock Holmes : No, you didn't leave a scratch.

  Beautiful Woman : Well the night is still young.

• [NYOOPI President Louis Garmendia asks Sherlock Holmes for more time to improve the organization's standards before Sherlock dismantles it altogether] 

  Louis Garmendia : Look, Mr. Holmes, this-this thing we do, this job, it's important. Now, you say you don't like a lot of our membership, I get that, but at least they're in one place now. NYOOPI goes away, and they scatter in the wind. And I won't know if I could've made them better. I won't know if I could've kept a few from getting killed. Now, it's too late for Fred Kirby, but it's not too late for the rest.

  Sherlock Holmes : All I can promise you is that your organization will be spared my full energies until I have solved Fred Kirby's murder.

  Louis Garmendia : [sighs]  Well, I know how good you are, so I guess that doesn't give me much time. Thanks for hearing me out.

• [Alerted that Sherlock Holmes is in her bedroom upon arriving at the brownstone, Joan Watson goes upstairs to find the room covered in dropcloths spattered with fake blood and an equally-spattered Sherlock wearing protective gear while standing behind a small table bearing a coconut filled with fake blood] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Hello.

  Dr. Joan Watson : OK, whatever this is, does it really need to be happening in my bedroom?

  Sherlock Holmes : This is helping me determine how much force was used to beat Carter Gibson and Fred Kirby to death. I didn't think you'd mind.

  Dr. Joan Watson : OK, so, you've already made one miscalculation, so how is the rest of your math going?

• [Louis Garmendia, president of the New York Order of Private Investigators or NYOOPI, comes to the brownstone to speak with Sherlock Holmes] 

  Louis Garmendia : I know you broke into NYOOPI's computer today. Someone used Fred Kirby's old log-in from an I.P. address inside the NYPD, and then they downloaded a bunch of our tax records. I could tell you didn't like us when we met. Got the feeling we embarrass you. You want to tell me what you're up to?

  Sherlock Holmes : It's quite simple, really. I'm going to dismantle your organization. NYOOPI is a blight on the profession which I love. It enables conmen and imbeciles to pass themselves off as detectives. Your group deserves to be exposed as the rubber stamp that it is.

  Louis Garmendia : Would it surprise you to know that I agree with you about NYOOPI? Mm-hm. I was an investigator for the ATF for over 15 years before I went private. I get steamed when I see the kind of folks that are advertising with our silver star. That's why I got involved, only I don't want to destroy it. I want to turn it around. We're offering training seminars now. We just launched a message board where people can crowdsource their cases. I want NYOOPI to help its members be better at what they do.

  Sherlock Holmes : Your members want to be better?

  Louis Garmendia : A lot of them mean well.

  Sherlock Holmes : That's not what I asked.
