Ancient History

Elementary 2×5

& Sherlock: Sometimes, Watson, when one wants a diamond, one must resort to digging in a diamond mine.
    Watson: .... For future reference, a morgue is not a diamond mine.
    Sherlock: It’s better. Diamonds are just pressed coal; corpses have stories, secrets.

& Watson: 0 for 19— I think it’s time to call it a day. I’m seriously starving, and that is something that should not be happening in here.
    Sherlock: Well, there’s a vending machine down the hall, and at least a dozen more bodies, so we have the makings of a lovely evening.

& Sherlock: Let’s begin with two givens. Firstly, 76% of all murder victims know their assailant. We, as a species, we tend to be killed by the people closest to us— our friends, our spouses, business associates...

& Sherlock: Travis, you’re alive. That’s unfortunate.

& Sherlock: Alive. Again. Why can’t anyone be dead today?

& Gregson: That’s a little loud. You know?
    Sherlock: Studies have consistently shown that changes in one’s surroundings, background noise, even the angle from which materials are viewed, can result in fresh insights.
    Gregson: That was background noise to you, huh?

& Receptionist: Maybe you could come back in an hour?
    Sherlock: No, I’m afraid I cannot; I will be dead by then.
    Receptionist: What?
    Sherlock: I’ve been feeling a bit down; I’m thinking of taking my own life posthaste. Ms. Watson here is beside herself about it. Does that window open?
Receptionist: I’m required by law to take you back to see the doctor if you make a threat like that. But you already knew that, didn’t you?

& Sherlock: While I detest nothing more than willful ignorance, I have come to believe that in certain matters, ignorance bestowed can be a gift. Your friend Jan— she seemed like a nice person. She deserves neither shame nor heartbreak.
    Watson: Okay, first of all, her name is Jen, not Jan...

& Sherlock: Well, you were right, Watson. Honesty— unquestionably the best policy.
    Watson: I want you to know I think it’s really great, you doing what you did today for Jen, so she can finally have a baby— I don’t think I’ve ever seen her so happy... She did tell you she was ovulating, right?
    Sherlock: ........
