Quotes 

• Dr. Joan Watson : Any luck?

  Sherlock Holmes : Luck is an offensive, abhorrent concept. The idea that there is a force in the universe tilting events in your favor or against it is ridiculous. *Idiots* rely on luck.

  Dr. Joan Watson : So that'd be a no.

• Sherlock Holmes : Your lack of accent is impressive, Mr. Gura.

  Danilo Gura : Thank you. I learned English as a boy.

  Sherlock Holmes : I didn't even realize your nationality until I remembered from the other day, you'd arranged the rags on your cart into the colors of the Ukrainian flag. On your employment application under education, you listed Olesky University. Congratulations - arguably the best medical school in all of Ukraine.

  Danilo Gura : [smiles]  Not arguably.

• Sherlock Holmes : Miss Watson, as you very well know, not all doctors stay doctors.

• Sherlock Holmes : Interesting that she didn't refer to you as her friend, probably because of your falling out. You call her by a familiar nickname, yet you haven't spoken in a year in a half. What was it that drove you two apart? Man? Job? Failed sapphic dalliance, fingers crossed for the last one?

  Dr. Joan Watson : He's got a problem with Tourettes.

• Sherlock Holmes : I must say Watson, I enjoyed catching a glimpse of you in your former element. Seems to me your friend was right. You were quite a doctor.
