• Sherlock Holmes : Any smoking guns from Miss Brighton's communiques with Big Meat?

  Dr. Joan Watson : You really love saying that, don't you?

  Sherlock Holmes : Yeah, more than I enjoy saying Midwest Cattle Ranchers.

• Dr. Joan Watson : You going out?

  Sherlock Holmes : While you were perusing Miss Brighton's correspondence, I was nosing about Midwest Cattle's computers, and I hit a firewall I couldn't crack, so I asked Everyone for help. Their task du jour is that I deliver five minutes of observational comedy at open mic night at a place called Joke Hole. I'd invite you to come, but my plan is to stink.

• [Sherlock Holmes attends an addiction recovery meeting for the first time in over a month] 

  Moderator : If no one else wants to share, we'll wrap up for tonight. Okay, then.

  [Sherlock raises his hand] 

  Moderator : Yes. It's nice to see you again. Please.

  Sherlock Holmes : Thanks, uh, ahem. Hello, my name is Sherlock, and I'm an addict.

  Group : Hello, Sherlock.

  Sherlock Holmes : I'm also... I'm the cleverest person in the room. Now, I'm... I'm so much cleverer than my peers that I've come to believe I feel boredom more acutely than everybody else... which leads me to my recent quandary... arrogance. My-my own arrogance, you know, to be precise. And the possibility that that might be an Achilles heel to my recovery.

• Dr. Joan Watson : Okay, so... someone killed a man who Efraim Albright ate.

  Sherlock Holmes : Or woman. The victim could have easily been female.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Fine. The cannibal was equal opportunity.

• Detective Marcus Bell : I'll spend some time over in Missing Persons, but I'm pretty sure they won't be looking for anyone who matches the description of a hot dog.

  Sherlock Holmes : Sausage.

  Detective Marcus Bell : Oh, sausage. That'll clear things up.

• Sherlock Holmes : I've also had an informal peek at your banking records.

  Brendan Farley : 'Informal peek'? What does that mean?

  Sherlock Holmes : It means I have friends who are digitally nimble.

  [Farley looks at Bell] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Don't look at him. He had nothing to do with it.
