- Professor Baynes: Going to sweat me in the box, are you?
- Sherlock Holmes: It's just a room. You've made an error in judgement about me. About the friendships I've made. Since coming to New York, I've had the great privilege to be called friend by some of the finest people on earth. I didn't deserve their friendship, but they gave it none the less.
- [pause, then softly, directly]
- Sherlock Holmes: There's nothing I wouldn't do for Marcus Bell, and I will not allow you to stand in the way of his success.
- [Hands Baynes a business card]
- Professor Baynes: What's this?
- Sherlock Holmes: It's a contact of mine. He's currently looking for the new head of security for a major company. I recommended you for the job. And, in truth, I think you would excel at it. You always said you've never achieved the career heights to which you were due. Well, now's your chance. The starting salary will make your head spin. You'll resign your position at the college effective immediately. And someone else will step in to teach your class.
- Professor Baynes: Meaning your man, Bell, will be allowed in. You'll win. Again.
- Sherlock Holmes: If you decide not to accept my offer, if you persist in standing in his way, then you'll make an enemy of me. You might have seen me as en enemy before, but I assure you, Baynes... I never was.
- [Softly]
- Sherlock Holmes: You'll not like having me as an enemy.
- [With a small smile]
- Sherlock Holmes: The choice is yours.
- Nina Hudgins: [as the voice of Skyler, the sex doll] What's your favorite position?
- Sherlock Holmes: [Brief pause] Lucena.
- Dr. Joan Watson: [Unpleased to see Skyler in the house] The Lucena position is a chess thing, right? I'm guessing that Skyler does not get chess humor. Who changed her into sweats?
- Sherlock Holmes: I did. How would you have brought her home on the subway?
- Dr. Joan Watson: I don't think I would have. Doesn't she belong in evidence?
- Sherlock Holmes: The police decided there was no more physical evidence to be gleaned from her, so I requested that she be released into my custody.
- [Completely serious]
- Sherlock Holmes: I didn't think her depths had been properly plumbed.
- Dr. Joan Watson: [Rolling her eyes] Oh, gross.
- Sherlock Holmes: I'm referring to her memory storage.
- Nina Hudgins: Marcus.
- [Skyler's voice stops Marcus cold in the squad room]
- Nina Hudgins: Marcus, will you please help me?
- Detective Marcus Bell: Do what?
- Nina Hudgins: Help me escape.
- Detective Marcus Bell: I'm sorry. How's that?
- Nina Hudgins: I did it, Marcus. I killed Bruce Daramore. I fooled them all. Will you take me home with you?
- [Marcus looks around, a little shaken up]
- Nina Hudgins: I'll also kill Professor Baynes for you... if you ask me nicely.
- Detective Marcus Bell: [He knows he's been pranked] Sherlock!
- [Sherlock walks up, immensely pleased with himself]
- Detective Marcus Bell: I see you've learned some new tricks with Skyler.
- Sherlock Holmes: Yeah, I called Mr. Lubbock at the company, asked him to uh, take me through giving her a preset script. Look, I, I want you to know. I've sorted everything out with Baynes. If you call the school, you'll find that you've been registered with the class that you need.
- Detective Marcus Bell: Thanks.
- Sherlock Holmes: Uh, look, if you see Watson out there, would you just give me a minute, then uh, send her in.
- Detective Marcus Bell: You're not...
- Sherlock Holmes: If you think I don't plan to provide her with a similar performance, then you're *not* the Detective I thought you were.
- Detective Marcus Bell: [He moves to take a look down the hall] You know what?
- [Getting into it]
- Detective Marcus Bell: I see the Captain.
- Sherlock Holmes: Well, that's even better.
- Dr. Joan Watson: [checking her phone] Did you get this from Sherlock too? He's inviting us to a crime scene in Queens.
- Detective Marcus Bell: Gotta say, I'm kinda used to being the one who does the inviting. I guess I'm old fashioned that way.
