Ready or Not

Elementary 4×18

& Holmes: How do you not hear it?
    Watson: Just lucky I guess.
    Holmes: Perhaps it entered your mind unconsciously. Were your dreams filled with two flounders slapping together? A ketchup bottle being squeezed repeatedly whilst a nearby walrus issues a death rattle?

& Watson: Don’t.
    Holmes: Don’t what?
    Watson: Mess with him. I’m serious. No chain saw art in the study, no marching bands in the library.

& Mrs. Bader: Vince is a prepper. Are you familiar with the term?
    Holmes: Yes, he’s convinced that society as we know it is on the verge of collapse and it’s his duty to be ready.

& Watson: What is that? Methyl mercaptan?
    Holmes: It’s the odorant added to natural gas to provide its aroma.

& Watson: It is pretty swanky.
    Holmes: If you’re keen on spending eternity buried alive with a group so narcissistic they think that outliving humanity is a good idea. I’d rather melt with the masses and get it over with, wouldn’t you?
    Watson: It’s not how I pictured prepping. I mean, when you say «survivalists,» I see bearded guys wearing gas masks digging holes in their backyards to build shelters.
    Holmes: That’s the garden-variety prepper.

& Holmes: ...the wealthy prepper. Along with the myriad doomsday scenarios that haunt ordinary preppers— global pandemic, nuclear holocaust, socialist zombies coming to eat their guns— the wealthy ones also worry that the poor are gonna rise up with torches and pitchforks. Which, one could argue, wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.

& Staller: Whoa, you guys have the wrong idea. I don’t know anything about a murder.
    Det. Bell: You’d be surprised how many confessions start that way.

& Fiona: I broke up with you, so we’re not seeing each other anymore. But that use of the word «seeing» is figurative. We can still see each other.

& Holmes: So whatever the future holds, whether we see each other again or not, I wanted you to know.

& Fiona: Okay. I think we should have sex now. Do you want to have sex now?
    Holmes: I-I don’t not want to have...
