Character: Mycroft Holmes. Page 1

- Keep me posted.
- What?
- I have no idea.

- Remember "Rendezvous in Samarra"?
- I'm sorry?
- About the merchant who couldn't outrun Death. As a child you hated the story. As the very idea of predestination.
I'm not sure that this has changed.
- Remember, you wrote your version of "Dating in Sumatra". The merchant went to another city, and all ended well.
- Bye, Mycroft.
- And then for some reason he became a pirate.

- You scribble on Twitter?
- No.
- And in my opinion, Yes.
I'm not scribbling. What Is Twitter?
- Give it to me.
What? No. What are you doing? Leave me alone.
- Give it to me. "Back on solid ground."
- Do not read aloud.
- "Free as a bird."
You're such a Killjoy.
- Take the question seriously, Sherlock.
- I am serious. What makes you think I'm not serious?
- Hashtag "Cameratracker".

- Well, you're here?
- As always, I'm worried about you.
- I heard about your anxiety.
You're always aggressive. Didn't occur to you that we are on the same side?
- You may be surprised, but no.
- We have more in common than you draw yourself. Our pathetic feud is pure childish, and only hurts people. And you know how it's all depressing mommy.
- My fault? I? Not because of me, her sadness, Mycroft.
- Wait a minute. Wait... Mommy? What "mommy"?
- Mom. Our mother. This is my brother, Mycroft.

For the information our agent gave his life.
- It is not talking about the importance of information, and its penalties.

- Mmm, no. From them we will.
We?
They made him look old. I'm going to look older than I am.

Lady in despair. Are you so predictable? It's all ABC. The promise of happiness, the pain of loss, the joy of redemption... then Give him a puzzle and watch him dancing...

- You've stopped the investigation into the shooting at her house?
- Alas, we can't do anything while she has the photographs. Our hands are tied!
- She would have loved your words.

- It's a matter of national importance! Don't be a child.
- Get out of the sheets!
- What?
- I'll go without her.
- Don't mind.

Pure mind, succumbing to overt melodrama. Your life in perspective.

- I must warn that this level of consumption is extremely harmful to health. Your heart...
- Don't worry about it, Watson. Where should be placed this on the vacuum.
- A family trait.

- I'll have a look in the secret archives of MI5.
I was just out there looking.
And... What do you think about security archive of the Mi-5?
I will say that you need it.

It's not easy for a great mind - to admit someone's superiority.

- I'm closer to the type of friend that Sherlock Holmes is capable of having.
Is there?
- His enemy.
