“Oh, sorry Holmes.”
“No, no, you couldn’t have come at a better time.”
“I was afraid you were engaged.”
“I am, very much so. Dr. Watson shares my love of all that is bizarre, but outside the routine of everyday existence.”
Holmes, did you just jump over the fu*** couch? And now Lady’s and Gentleman notice for whom he did this…WATSON! COME BACK, WATSON!

Holmes, the story, is so popular, isn’t it? That’s extraordinary.
They modernised it, they set it New York. There are so many versions.
But I think if something works — look at Shakespeare; we’ve been doing his plays for hundred of years ‘cause they’re really good — if the story’s good, or the characters or the relationships interesting, then I guess there’s always a desire to see more, or a new interpretation.
