Scenes with Inspector Lestrade 22
[The boys wake up in a prison cell]
[Dazed] Oh, my God. Greg? Is that Greg?
L Lestrade
Get up. I’m going to put you two in a taxi. I’ve managed to square things with the desk sergeant. [Laughs] What a couple of lightweights! You couldn’t even make it to closing time!
L Lestrade
[Shouting] NOT REALLY! [Sherlock wakes with a start] Come on!
[He turns and leaves. After staggering about, Sherlock manages to follow]
The bride's face, how was it described?
L Lestrade
White as death, mouth like a crimson wound.
L Lestrade
Many would say they're the same thing.
Yes, idiots. Poetry or truth?
I saw the ghost with my own eyes!
You saw nothing. You saw what you were supposed to see.
You said yourself: I have no imagination.
Then use your brain, such as it is, to eliminate the impossible, which in this case is the ghost, and observe what remains, which in this case is a solution so blindingly obvious even Lestrade could work it out!
L Lestrade
[sarcastic] Thank you...!
Take all the credit. It gets boring if I just solve them all.
L Lestrade
Yeah, you say that, but then John blogs about it, and you get all the credit anyway.
L Lestrade
Which makes me look like some kind of prima Donna who insists on getting credit for something he didn’t do!
Well, I think you’ve hit a sore spot, Sherlock.
L Lestrade
Like I’m some kind of credit junkie.
L Lestrade
You’re at the beck and call of a screaming, demanding baby, woken up at all hours to obey its every whim. Must feel very different…
Yes, well, you know how it is. All you do is clean up their mess, pat them on the head.
Are you two having a little joke?
Never a word of thanks. Can’t even tell people’s faces apart.
This is a joke, isn’t it?
L Lestrade
Yeah, and it’s all, “Oh, aren’t you clever. You’re so, so clever.”
L Lestrade
I think he needs winding.
You know, I think that really might be it.
L Lestrade
What’s wrong? I thought you’d be pleased.
L Lestrade
You don’t look pleased.
This is my game face. And the game is on.
Sherlock Holmes [about Greg’s date] : Trust me, though, she’s not right for you.
L Lestrade
Well, thank you, Mystic Meg.
How do you work all that out?
She’s got three children in Rio that he doesn’t know about.
Are you just making this up?
