#150.

WARNING : A very long one.

Mycroft Holmes: I have given the Prime Minister my personal assurance that you’re on the case.

Sherlock Holmes: I am on the case. We're both on the case right now.

Mycroft Holmes: Oh, bugger!

Sherlock Holmes: Whoopsy! Can’t handle a broken heart. How very telling.

Mycroft Holmes: Don’t be smart.

Sherlock Holmes: That takes me back. 

[Mimicking Mycroft] “Don’t be smart, Sherlock, I’m the smart one”.

Mycroft Holmes: I am the smart one.

Sherlock Holmes: I used to think I was an idiot.

Mycroft Holmes: Both of us thought you were an idiot, Sherlock.

We had nothing else to go on, until we met other children.

Sherlock Holmes: Oh, yes. That was a mistake.

Mycroft Holmes: Ghastly. What were they thinking of?

Sherlock Holmes: Probably something about trying to make friends.

Mycroft Holmes: Oh, yes. Friends. Of course, you go in for that sort of thing now.

Sherlock Holmes: And you don’t? Ever?

Mycroft Holmes: If you seem slow to me, Sherlock,

can you imagine what real people are like? I’m living in a world of goldfish.

Sherlock Holmes: Yes, but I’ve been away for two years.

Mycroft Holmes: So?

Sherlock Holmes: Oh, I don’t know...I thought you perhaps might have found yourself a...goldfish.
