Elementary 4×4
& Watson: Here’s a question we should have asked ten minutes ago. What if these cuffs really are un-pickable?
Holmes: Claiming a new line of handcuffs to be «un-pickable» is the equivalent of proclaiming revamped laundry detergent "new and improved«— it’s a marketing ploy, and not a very original one at that.
& Holmes: The purpose of this exercise is to simulate field conditions. If we were kidnapped, do you think our captors would allow us a dry run with our restraints?
& Holmes: Unlike hand grenades, handcuffs do not reward nearness.
& Holmes: You’re still using that ringtone?
Watson: You still haven’t cracked my new passcode to change it?
& Holmes: Hello, Abby Campbell.
& Holmes: Have you, Watson, ever committed any burglaries in Coney Island?.... Have to ask.
Watson: No, I have not committed any burglaries in Coney Island.
& Holmes: I think the current slang for such an arrangement is a «thruple.»
& Watson: You said «one of her fellow wives.» How many people were involved in her previous marriage?
Dr. Campbell: Not counting Abby? Five.
& Capt. Gregson: I don’t know how they do it. I couldn’t make a marriage to one person work.
Holmes: But Americans have experimented with every possible variation of matrimony. From the adelphic polygyny of the Omaha tribe to the patriarchal polygamy of the early Mormons to the free love hippy communes of the 1970s. And while some of those experiments were abject failures, many were remarkably long-lived.
& Holmes: While this might look primitive, I assure, this is the result of years of painstaking research. It’s a poultice of comfrey leaves and flour with a dash of mountain arnica and a sprinkling of marigold. I highly recommend it. Unless, of course, you want your eye to blacken as a badge of honor.
