Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : You were asking me if I'd found anything, and the answer is maybe. Two years ago, Charles Milverton referred a client to "the Sheriff." His name was Abraham Zelner, a morbidly obese man who wanted to sue an airline for removing him from a flight. Earlier we were theorizing that "Henry 8" was Milverton's accomplice. Henry *the* VIII, as I'm sure you're aware, was the fattest monarch in British history.

  Dr. Joan Watson : So you think Zelner was his accomplice, and that Milverton gave him that code name because he was heavy-set?

  Sherlock Holmes : Orson Welles was heavy-set. Abraham Zelner could pull small moons out of orbit.

• Sherlock Holmes : You're a liar, who lies.

• Sherlock Holmes : [answering his phone]  The Brownstone is on fire, my bees have escaped, and there is a giant comet heading for Manhattan.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Excuse me?

  Sherlock Holmes : The way the evening is going, I thought you could only be calling with more good news.

• Sherlock Holmes : I heard victimizers of children have a rough time in prison. It's really nice to see that it's not just a rumor.

• Ken Whitman : My sponsor was out of town, so I reached out to Alfredo. I just needed somebody to talk to, but then he told me about you. He said that you might be able to help?

  Sherlock Holmes : I have a particular disdain for blackmailers. They are, in some respects, more despicable to me than even murderers. Ms. Watson and I will find the person who has been targeting you. We will also find their accomplice. We shall then destroy every trace of this vile recording.
