I have given the Prime Minister my personal assurance that you’re on the case.
I am on the case. We're both on the case right now.
[A buzzer sounds. Mycroft and Sherlock are revealed to be playing Operation – not chess]
Oh, bugger!
Whoopsy! Can’t handle a Broken Heart. How very telling.
Don’t be smart.
That takes me back. “Don’t be smart, Sherlock! I’m the smart one!”
I am the smart one.
Oh, I used to think I was an idiot.
Both of us thought you were an idiot, Sherlock. We had nothing else to go on, until we met other children.
Oh, yes. That was a mistake.
Ghastly. What were they thinking of?
Probably something about "trying to make friends".
Oh, yes. "Friends". Of course, you go in for that sort of thing now.
And you don’t? Ever?
If you seem slow to me, Sherlock, can you imagine what real people are like? I’m living in a world of goldfish.
Yes, but I’ve been away for two years.
So?
Oh, I don’t know...I thought you perhaps might have found yourself a...goldfish.
