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.

Dr. Joan Watson : [embarrassed] Well, I also collected stickers.

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?
