"I was raised on a farm in Mooresville, Indiana. My mama died when I was three. My daddy beat the hell out of me cause he didn't know no better way to raise me. I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars, whiskey, and you... what else you need to know?"

"Holmes: My mind rebels at stagnation; give me problems, give me work."

"Watson: You're not human!"

"Holmes: The little details are by far the most important."
