- Phil Simms: [Seeing Watson] What's this?
- Dr. Joan Watson: You're...
- Phil Simms: Not here.
- [to Holmes]
- Phil Simms: I'm not here. Remember that, okay?
- Sherlock Holmes: Oh yes. Heaven forbid if your work with me should offend your precious day job.
- Dr. Joan Watson: You throw knives?
- Phil Simms: [to Holmes] Ya know, it was supposed to be just you here.
- Sherlock Holmes: Philip is arguably the greatest knife thrower in the world.
- [Phil give the disbelieving Watson a proud smile]
- Sherlock Holmes: Has been for decades. Only there is little money to be made in the impalement arts. So, as a youth, he turned to what you Americans term football.
- [He shrugs in disbelief]
- Dr. Joan Watson: Is this a joke?
- Sherlock Holmes: [Retrieves two large knives and offers them to Philip] Philip, head and heart.
- Phil Simms: C'mon...
- Sherlock Holmes: Head and heart.
- Phil Simms: [Throws the knives and hits the head and heart of the life sized mannequin across the room, then turns to Sherlock] Can I go?
- Sherlock Holmes: Yeah. Fifteen years he spent throwing that misshapen ball around. Fifteen years. When I think of the acclaim he could have brought to competitive blade slinging...
- Sherlock Holmes: [Advising Kitty on getting help] I've looked into a number of support groups. As you are well aware, I have benefited greatly from similar settings.
- Kitty Winter: You have.
- Sherlock Holmes: The process I find is not unlike voiding one's bowels.
- Sherlock Holmes: [Waiting outside Harlan's home] Harlan.
- Harlan Emple: You can't take a hint, can you? I got your text messages. I don't want to see you right now. So, if you came here to apologize...
- Sherlock Holmes: Actually, I came here to spare you an agonizing death.
- [pause]
- Sherlock Holmes: Can I come in?
- Harlan Emple: I've spent the last few months of my life playing a game that was designed to kill me. Gotta be a metaphor in there somewhere, right?
