Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : If you must know, Watson, I've been feeling a little bit down of late. It's the process of maintaining my sobriety. It's repetitive. And it's relentless. And above all, it's tedious. When I left rehab, I... I accepted your influence, I committed to my recovery. And now, two years in, I find myself asking, 'is this it?' My sobriety is simply a grind. It's just this leaky faucet that requires constant maintenance, and in return offers only not to drip.

  Dr. Joan Watson : You have your work, you have me. You're alive.

  Sherlock Holmes : I've told myself that many times. So many times, it has become unmoored from all meaning. Odd. I used to imagine that a relapse would be the climax to some grand drama. Now I think that if I were to use drugs again, it would in fact be an anticlimax. It would be a surrender to the incessant drip, drip, drip of existence.

  Dr. Joan Watson : I'm sorry you're feeling this way. What can I do to help? Do you want to talk more, do you want to maybe speak to Alfredo?

  Sherlock Holmes : Yes, I think perhaps I will see Alfredo. But in any case, I shan't be using drugs this evening.

• Dr. Joan Watson : [reading Sherlock's wall]  Bella. Edward. Jacob. Immune to Supernatural Powers of the Mind. Wait a minute. Are you guys researching the 'Twilight' books?

  Sherlock Holmes : We heard back from our friends at Everyone. They've agreed to compile a list of everyone whose received a payment from Purgatorium, Incorporated since its inception last month. In exchange, they want me to compose a treatise on why the character of Bella should've ended up with Jacob rather than Edward. Apparently, there's some kind of convention in town, and they want me to read my essay out loud in the lobby. Personally, I see no reason why they couldn't have come to some arrangement which involved all three of them, but that's not the position that Everyone has asked me to take, so...

  Dr. Joan Watson : Everyone never gets tired of embarrassing you, do they?

  Sherlock Holmes : Humiliation is the favorite currency of the hacker.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Everyone didn't mention anything about me reading anything out loud, did they?

  Sherlock Holmes : No.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Excellent! I'm gonna work from home.
