(Buckingham Palace)
Sherlock: Mycroft, I don’t do anonymous clients. I’m used to mystery at one end of my cases. Both ends is too much work. Good morning.
Mycroft: This is a matter of national importance. Grow up!
Sherlock: Get off my sheet!
Mycroft: Or what?
Sherlock: Or I’ll just walk away.
Mycroft: I’ll let you.
Watson: Boys, please. Not here.
Sherlock: Who. Is. My. Client?
Mycroft: Take a look at where you’re standing and make a deduction. You are to be engaged by the highest in the land. Now for God’s sake … put your clothes on!
