Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : ...which is why I am considering Possibility Two.

  [Watson looks at the second section of the wall, which is bare except for a Post-It Note labeled "Possibility Two."] 

  Dr. Joan Watson : It's blank.

  Sherlock Holmes : Possibility Two has stubbornly refused to reveal itself.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Well, keep staring at the wall, I'm sure it's hiding in there somewhere.

• [last lines] 

  Sherlock Holmes : A good detective knows that every task, every interaction, no matter how seemingly banal, has the potential to contain multitudes. I live my life alert to this possibility. I expect my colleagues to do the same.

• Sherlock Holmes : [quoting Benjamin Franklin]  You delay, but time will not!

• Crabtree : Delivery for you, Mr. Holmes.

  Sherlock Holmes : Thank you, Crabtree, but I'm afraid... oh, my God! Is that...?

  Dr. Joan Watson : A bee in a box? Yes, it is. Fairly unimpressive as far as bribes go.

  Sherlock Holmes : Not if you're an apiculturalist. That's an omnia avosetta. A solitary bee, famed for building exquisite nests from flower petals. It's on the verge of extinction. Crabtree, this is exquisite... I cannot accept it. Please tell Mr. Lydon not to contact me again.

  Crabtree : [smiles and covers the box]  I told him you are a man of convictions. Perhaps now he'll believe me.

• Sherlock Holmes : Kudos, Watson. Adequately done.

• [repeated line] 

  Sherlock Holmes : [to Watson]  You're a detective now, you tell me.
