Sherlock Holmes:
[In their apartment, reading the latest tabloids] "Boffin"! "Boffin Sherlock Holmes"!

Dr. John Watson:
Everybody gets one.

Sherlock Holmes:
One what?

Dr. John Watson:
Tabloid nickname. "Subo." "Nasty Nick." Shouldn't worry. I'll probably get one soon.

Sherlock Holmes:
Page five, column six, first sentence. Why is it always the *hat* photograph?

Dr. John Watson:
"*Bachelor* John Watson"?

Sherlock Holmes:
What kind of hat is it anyway?

Dr. John Watson:
"Bachelor"? What the hell are they implying?

Sherlock Holmes:
Is it a cap? Why has it got two fronts?

Dr. John Watson:
It's a deerstalker. "Frequently seen in the company of *bachelor* John Watson."

Sherlock Holmes:
How do you stalk a deer with a hat? What are you going to do, throw it?

Dr. John Watson:
"*Confirmed* bachelor, John Watson."

Sherlock Holmes:
Some sort of death frisbee?

Dr. John Watson:
Okay, this is too much. We need got to be more careful.

Sherlock Holmes:
It's got flaps. *Ear* flaps! It's an *ear* hat, John!

[Throws the hat to John]

Sherlock Holmes:
What do you mean, "more careful"?

Dr. John Watson:
I mean, this isn't a deerstalker now, it's a Sherlock Holmes hat. I mean, that you're not exactly a *private* detective any more! You're this far from famous!

Sherlock Holmes:
Oh, it'll pass.
