Irene Adler: Trouble at Briahry Lahdge!

Guardsman #1: Oh no - what kind of trouble?

Irene Adler: One ah da roudy loungahs called ou' "FIYA!"

Guardsman #2: Pardon?

Irene Adler: One ah da roudy loungahs called ou' "FIYA!"

Guardsman #1: I don't understand what you're saying.

Irene Adler: [slightly irritatedly and with exaggeratedly clear accent] One of the roudy loungers called out "FIRE"!

Guardsman #2: Well, what on earth does that mean?

Irene Adler: I don't know - I just heard someone call out "FIRE"! - I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition.

[JARRING CHORD]

[The door flies open and Sherlock Holmes (aka, the "simple-minded clergyman"), enters, followed by Doctor Watson.]

Holmes: NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition! Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our three weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope.... Our four...no... Amongst our weapons.... Amongst our weaponry...are such elements as fear, surprise.... I'll come in again.
