Mr. Holmes

"A man abandoned his family and wrote his son a story. He wouldn't be the first to cloak his cowardice in a flag of sacrifice."

"When you're a detective and a man comes visit you it's usually about his wife."

"I was given a small chest containing the Watson stories, none of which I'd ever actually read. They were, as John always described them, penny dreadfuls with an elevated prose style."

Roger: "Have you ever been bitten by a bee?"
Holmes: "Stung! Bees don't have teeth. Yes, I have."
Roger: "How often?"
Holmes: "7860 times. I keep a record."

Holmes: "I've decided to write the story down; as it was, not as John made it. Get it right, before I die."
Roger: "You're not going to die."
Holmes: "I'm 93."
Roger: "I had a great-uncle who lived to be 102."
Holmes: "Well done. That seals my fate. What are the odds that you would know two men who would live that long?"
Roger: "Well, I didn't actually know him."
