You know yourself, Sherlock. You know who you are, you know who you were. Ask yourself: When you were a boy, could anyone have parented you?
I can think of one person.

There's also a song that appeals to me as a detective. It's a mystery about dogs and who might have let them out.
At the very least this has proven the wisdom of continuously training in the combat arts. You do of course need to work on your defense. You allowed Cortez to land far too many punches.
I did. But all that matters is that I landed the last one.
[Sherlock walks up to Marcus pushing two bicycles.]
What are you doing?
These were chained to a lamppost down the street.
And you figured you'd steal them?
I'm re-stealing them. I peruse the crime blotter when I'm bored. And these were stolen in Chelsea last month.
And you're just gonna walk around with them for the rest of the day.
Oh, don't be ridiculous. This one's for you.

So how did you know that that was me?
Grover Ogden? We lived on Ogden Avenue, Grover was our dog. And by the way that is how you make a porn name, not a pen name!
You read it.
I did.
You're not mad?
Should I be?
Of course you should, you're you!
Then why did you just give her two bugs? You know she's not going to say anything incriminating when she's around them.
Actually, Watson, only one of them was a bug. The other was a flash bang.
You gave her a bomb?!
It was a very small bomb, with a very big bang.
Mind if I call you Cassie? I'd call you by your real name, but you're refusing to give it.
CCassie
Cassie is fine.
Sorry I missed your arrest and booking, but I've been coordinating the effort to identify you. To my great surprise, your fingerprints aren't in AFIS.
CCassie
Of course they aren't. I've never committed any crimes.
You've never been caught.
CCassie
Is there a difference?
So how old are you, really?
CCassie
Fifteen. No wait, twenty-five. Or maybe it's some other number.
...
CCassie
I hope you come to my trial. It should be fun.
You think you can lie your way out?
CCassie
I do. Now tell me, am I lying?
[Sherlock returns home and is surprised to find the second door locked just before Marcus comes downstairs.]
Hey, I didn't think I'd catch you here. Joan said you were at a meeting. Just...returning a book she loaned me.
She needed your help carrying it upstairs, did she?
Well, she was moving some furniture around, needed a hand....
Should I sit on the bride's side or the groom's?
Excuse me?
Your upcoming nuptials with Detective Bell. I assume the workout which sent you to the shower foretells that happy day.
What are you talking about?
I'm well aware you have an enlightened attitude when it comes to the hedonic arts, but Marcus is a cautious, conservative man when it comes to affairs of the heart. If he's embarked upon a physical relationship with a co-worker, it must be that serious.
Marcus was here, I took a shower, so obviously we are secret lovers.
I was mistaken. You don't know what my partner looks like naked.
Speak up, would you? I don't think the guys in the cell heard you.
Why didn't you just tell me you were taking the sergeant's exam on Friday?
Joan told you she was helping me study?
What do you think?
I think you saw the books on my desk just now.
...
If you wanted help studying, why not just come to me? I'm a gifted instructor; Watson is living proof.
I could always use friends in medium places.
Well, as long as it helps you.
I can't accept an alibi from anyone with that particular hairstyle.
[about Mason] Is anything this kid's doing legal?
Define legal.
His business is vile, but legally he's not a murderer.
