1 | What, you didn't think a DarkerAndEdgier AlternateUniverse can have funny moments? |
2 | |
3 | Think again. |
4 | ---- |
5 | * Lestrade delivers much of the humor, usually as a DeadpanSnarker. If he's in the scene, you can generally count on a sarcastic comment sooner or later. |
6 | -->"Actually, it wasn't as bad as... wait, what? God help me – should I even bother telling this story or are you simply going to deduce the rest of the journey from my shirt cuffs?" |
7 | * Despite being the DistressedDude, Holmes has his moments, as well. |
8 | -->"Since you were not blessed with wings... north or south?" |
9 | * And put InspectorLestrade and Literature/SherlockHolmes together, and you're just ''bound'' to have fireworks... |
10 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "Hm, that went well, didn't it? You really have a way with women, Mr Holmes; can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?" |
11 | -->'''Holmes:''' (growls) "Be quiet, Lestrade, you are not amusing. Go away..." |
12 | -->'''Lestrade:''' (cheerfully) "Sorry, Mr Holmes, I can't do that. Doctor's orders, he asked me to have a word with you... several, in fact." |
13 | -->'''Holmes:''' "So help me, Lestrade, if I could get out of this bed..." |
14 | * Which is not even mentioning how Holmes keeps thinking that Lestrade's lost it: |
15 | -->Perfect, it is now official – Lestrade has gone stark, staring mad. |
16 | ** And: |
17 | -->Wonderful, another reason to doubt the man's sanity. If Moran wants to kill Lestrade as well, he'll have to get in line... |
18 | * Mary as the TeamMom[=/=]PintsizedPowerhouse. |
19 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "You talk as if I had some kind of choice in the matter, Mr Holmes. The first I even knew that Mary was following me was on the boat from Newhaven. Came up beside me while I was hanging over the rail and offered me a ginger pill, as calm and unruffled as you please." |
20 | * This. Just [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments THIS]]: |
21 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "Ha! Seriously, Martha, we still have to get past the police. Do you really think this is going to work?" |
22 | -->'''Mary:''' "Safety in numbers, dear brother, I do believe it will. Mrs Peabody's 'personality' should prove sufficient cover." ''Or if need be, a battering ram.'' "Shall we?" |
23 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "Absolutely, my dear Martha. By all means, introduce me to our charming new friends!" |
24 | -->'''Mary:''' "Bite your tongue, George..." |
25 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "And why is the driver now beaming at our good benefactress? I thought he was going to hit her with his whip a little while ago!" |
26 | -->'''Mary:''' "Well, I may have ''slightly'' exaggerated to her the fee that the driver told me. I think it might be the largest tip Franz has ever received. Why do you think the two of us are riding free of charge?" |
27 | -->'''Lestrade:''' "I didn't know we were – does she?" |
28 | -->'''Mary:''' "Least said is soonest mended, dear brother…" ''Moriarty may have to concede his title of criminal mastermind.'' |
