[ Holmes drinks ] You’re drinking embalming fluid. Sherlock Holmes: [ exhales ] Yes. Care for a drop? Dr. John Watson: You do seem... Sherlock Holmes: Excited? Dr. John Watson: Manic. Sherlock Holmes: I am. Dr. John Watson: Verging on... Sherlock Holmes: Ecstatic? Dr. John Watson: Psychotic. [ pause ] I should’ve brought you a sedative.
