- Sherlock Holmes: Her breasts, Watson.
- Dr. Joan Watson: What do Paige's breasts have to do with anything?
- Sherlock Holmes: No, not - not Paige's, Beth Stone's. You saw them earlier.
- Dr. Joan Watson: I really wasn't looking at them.
- Dr. Joan Watson: Please tell me there is not a body in that bag.
- Sherlock Holmes: Deduction is your stock in trade, Watson. Have some pride.
- Dr. Joan Watson: Okay... two bodies?
- Sherlock Holmes: Medical bills and insurance claims pilfered from the office of Dr. Jonas Kiel, neurologist with a private practice uptown.
- Dr. Joan Watson: Oh yeah, I would have totally figured that out.
- Dr. Joan Watson: You can stop mocking her story. She's lying; I'm sold.
- Sherlock Holmes: And yet you won't join me in pouring scorn on her racist tale of woe.
- [Joan Watson identifies an apparent murder victim from the background of a 30-year-old snippet of film, and then shows Sherlock Holmes on her laptop the archived news story of his disappearance]
- Dr. Joan Watson: This is the victim, no question. Quentin Latham was a big union leader. A reformer. He clashed with the mob.
- Sherlock Holmes: And then he took an eight-inch buck knife to the solar plexus.
- Dr. Joan Watson: Well, they didn't know that back then. He just fell off the map in 1987. Two years later, his bones showed up in a box outside the Local 127. All the big families denied it, but the message was clear.
- [Sherlock stares at Joan]
- Dr. Joan Watson: What?
- Sherlock Holmes: You know, you're always keen to hear stories about my unusual childhood but I don't think I had anything on you. Who follows mafia exploits with such zeal in grade school?
- Dr. Joan Watson: [embarrassed] Well, I also collected stickers.
- Captain Thomas Gregson: All this to fake out an insurance company?
- Sherlock Holmes: Yeah, well I mean, no, it's not about that anymore, not entirely.
- Captain Thomas Gregson: Then what is it about?
- Sherlock Holmes: You said it's what you wanted.
- Beth Stone: I can't believe you people. I was taken!
- Sherlock Holmes: Yes, by two Pakistani men. We've heard your, uh, bigoted Fantasia.
- Sherlock Holmes: Despite the abject failure of your first nuptials you don't have any such misgivings about the institution, do you? So it would not be a violation of your personal ethics.
- Captain Thomas Gregson: Should I phrase it like that when I get down on one knee?
- Captain Thomas Gregson: Everyone wants me to marry her.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yeah, but their rationale is misguided and mines, y'know. Gaming the insurance industry is what marriage is for, right?
- Captain Thomas Gregson: Everyone wants me to marry her.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yeah, but their rationale is misguided and mine's, y'know. Gaming the insurance industry is what marriage is for, right?
