Quotes
-
Sherlock Holmes : Uh, hmm... Right. Where are the wagons?
Madam Simza Heron : The wagon is too slow. Can't you ride?
Dr. John Watson : It's not that he can't ride... How is it you put it, Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes : They're dangerous at both ends and... crafty in the middle. Why would I want anything with a mind of its own bobbing about between my legs?
-
Madam Simza Heron : What do you see?
Sherlock Holmes : Everything. That is my curse.

Madam Simza Heron : Welcome. I am Madam Simza. Cards can illuminate your past... clarify your present, and show you the future. If you have a specific question, hold it in your mind.
Sherlock Holmes : Hmm. I'm... holding.
Madam Simza Heron : Let me know when you're ready.
Sherlock Holmes : [taking her tarot cards] Actually, I'd prefer to read... your fortune.
[laying cards out as they talk]
Sherlock Holmes : Temperance... inverted. Indicative of volatility. A woman who has recently taken her comfort in drink. From what does she seek solace? What does she not wish to see?
Madam Simza Heron : A fool embarrassing himself?
Sherlock Holmes : Hmm.
Madam Simza Heron : Hmm.
Sherlock Holmes : Oh, yes. The Fool. Someone has been led astray, involved in something without their knowledge.
Madam Simza Heron : Not bad, but, um, you have to make me believe you. I have to see it in your eyes.
Sherlock Holmes : Right. I can do better.
Madam Simza Heron : Uh-huh.
Sherlock Holmes : The Two of Cups, a powerful bond. But between whom? A brother and sister, perhaps? And I see a name. Yes, it's... Rene.
Madam Simza Heron : What do you want?
Sherlock Holmes : The Devil.
Madam Simza Heron : Why are we playing this game?
[he hands a letter over]
Madam Simza Heron : Where did you get this?
Sherlock Holmes : I stole it from a woman in an auction room, but I believe it was intended for you.
[opening it, she finds a handmade drawing; turning it over, she reads the text on the back in French]
Madam Simza Heron : "Sim, my love. Remember my face, as you will never see it again. That is the price I must pay to change the course of history. I have finally found my purpose in life."
Sherlock Holmes : "Found my purpose in life." So, the question I've been holding is, what purpose is Rene fulfilling?
Madam Simza Heron : Time is up. I have other clients.
Sherlock Holmes : [standing to leave] Though you may not have detected the wisp of Astrakhan fur snagged on a nail over my left shoulder, you couldn't have failed to notice the overpowering aroma of herring pickled in vodka in tandem with a truly unfortunate body odor. There's a man concealed in the rafters above us. A Cossack, renowned for their infeasible acrobatic abilities and are notorious for moonlighting as assassins. So it's safe to presume that your next client is here to kill you.
