Cocaine. A seven percent solution. Would you care to try it?
No. But I would quite like to find every ounce of the stuff in your possession and pour it out of the window.
[amused] I should be inclined to stop you.
Then you would be reminded, quite forcibly, which of us is a soldier and which of us a drug addict.
You're not a soldier, you are a doctor.
I'm an army doctor, which means I could break every bone in your body while naming them.
My dear Watson, you are allowing emotion to cloud your judgement.
Never on a case. You promised me, never on a case.
No, I just said that in one of your stories.
[angrily] Listen. I'm happy to play the fool for you. I will run along behind you like some halfwit, making you look clever, if that's what you need, [raising his voice] but DEAR GOD ABOVE, you will hold yourself to a higher standard!
Why?
Because people need you to!
What people? Why? Because of your idiot stories?
[matter-of-factly] Yes, because of my "idiot stories".
