Do you know why I'm going to take your case? Because of the one impossible thing you said.

What impossible thing?

You said your life turned on one word.

Yes. The name of the person my father wanted to kill.

That's the impossible thing. Just that, right there.

What's impossible?

Names are not one word. They're always at least two. Sherlock Holmes. Faith Smith. Santa Claus. Winston Churchill. Napoleon Bonaparte... Actually, just Napoleon would do.

Or Elvis.

Well, I think we can rule both of them out as targets.

You don't even know my name.

Is Mary Watson good enough for you?

Yes.

Am I a woman?

Yes.

Am I... pretty?

Uh, beauty is a construct based entirely on childhood impressions, influences and role models.

Yeah, but am I a pretty lady?

I don't know who you are. I don't know who you're supposed to be.

You picked the name!

Yeah, but I picked it at random from the papers.

You're not really getting the hang of this game, are you, Sherlock?

Why are you here?

I've told you, I'm on holiday.

You're brown as a nut. You're clearly just back from your holidays.

Maybe I'd fancied another one.

Oh, this is Mycroft, isn't it?

Now, look...

Of course it is. One mention of Baskerville and he sends down my handler to-to spy on me, incognito. Is that why you're calling yourself Greg?

That's his name.

Is it?

Yes... if you'd ever bother to find out. Look, I'm not your handler. And I don't just do what your brother tells me.

Moriarty.

What?

That's his name... everyone has a weak spot and he found mine.

Got a name?

Officer KD6-3...

That's not a name. It's a serial number.

All right. Joe.

The place you're looking for is called Kamar-Taj. But the cost there is high.

How much?

I'm not talking about money.

And I went to a place called Kamar-Taj and I... talked to someone called 'The Ancient One.' And I...

Oh. So you joined a cult.

No, I didn't. No, not exactly. No. I mean... They did teach me to tap into powers that I never even knew existed.

Yeah. That sounds like a cult.

It's not a cult.

Well, that's what a cultist would say.

You walked right into this one. I've dated hotter chicks than you.

Is that all you've got? A cheap trick and a cheesy one-liner?

Sweetheart, that could be the name of my autobiography.

What's his name?

Who?

The kid that bullies you at school. What's his name?

How'd you know that?

Agent Coulson.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, the guy from the...

Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

Whew! God, you really need a new name for that.

Yeah, I hear that a lot.

You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?

Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint.

And what do you say to your other nickname, the Merchant of Death?

That's not bad.

I cannot go back.

Where will you go?

I do not know.

Go to the North. Find the Dunedain. There is a young Ranger among them. You should meet him. His father, Arathorn, was a good man. His son might grow to be a great one.

What is his name?

He is known in the wild as Strider. His true name, you must discover for yourself.

You've changed, and not entirely for the better, Bilbo Baggins.

I'm sorry, do I know you?

Well, you know my name, although you don't remember I belong to it. I'm Gandalf. And Gandalf means me.

I wouldn't bother, laddie. Swords are named for the great deeds they do in war.

What are you saying? That my sword hasn't seen battle?

I'm not actually sure it is a sword. More of a letter opener, really.
