'''Ren:''' Your hair is messy and shaggy, but arranged the same every time I see you. You’ve purposely styled it that way to look like you don’t care about your appearance, to make it seem like you don’t have the time to worry. And yet, it’s always out of your face just enough, perfectly ready for a picture or interview. Your speech is stilted and excessively formal. You might think it makes you sound like an adult, but all it does is make actual adults laugh at you, like watching a child wear his father’s suit. That’s part of your appeal for interviews, I’d imagine. People find you ‘cute’. And speaking of fathers. Unlike every other high school student in this country, you insist on carrying a vintage style metal briefcase. It’s been artificially distressed. The scratches on it are far too regular. And the monogram on it isn’t a sticker, so the whole thing is custom made. You specifically wanted a briefcase that you imagined an adult male professional would carry. More precisely, you seem to have designed a briefcase that a successful professional would have - a man with a family. A man with roots. A man who loves his son. So in short, I deduce that you are a [[LonelyAtTheTop lonely]], [[InsufferableGenius annoying]], police-suck up with [[WellDoneSonGuy daddy issues]] who I have no reason to trust and every reason for me to not trust. [[TheReasonyouSuckSpeech You stalked me, you idiot. And you just tried to read my girlfriend’s texts. What the fuck is wrong with you?]]

'''Sherlock:''' No. Small plate. Starter. He's practically licked it clean. She's nearly finished her pavlova. If she'd treated him, he'd have had as much as he wanted. He's hungry, all right. And not well off. You can tell that by the state of his cuffs and shoes. ''[imitating Watson:]'' "How do you know she's his mother?" Who else would give him a Christmas present like that? Well, it could be an aunt or an older sister, but mother's more likely. Now, he was a fisherman. The scarring pattern on his hands is very distinctive. Fish hooks. They're all quite old now, which suggests he's been unemployed for some time. Not much industry in this part of the world, so he's turned to his widowed mother for help. ''[Again, imitating:]'' "Widowed?" Yes, obviously. She's got a man's wedding ring on a chain around her neck, clearly her late husband's and too big for her finger. She's well-dressed but her jewelry's cheap. She could afford better, but she's kept it. Sentimental. Now, the dog. Tiny little hairs all over the leg from where it gets a little bit too friendly. But no hairs above the knees, suggesting it's a small dog, probably a terrier. In fact, it is a West Highland terrier called Whisky. ''[Once again, imitating:]'' "How the hell do you know that, Sherlock?" 'Cause she was on the same train as us and I heard her calling its name. And that's not cheating, that's listening. I use my senses, John, unlike some people. So you see, I am fine. In fact, I've never been better, so just [[SuddenlyShouting leave me alone!]]

->'''Watson:''' A demon!\\
'''Sherlock:''' He is a hero. It's obvious from [[PrimaryColorChampion the bright blue and yellow in his costume.]] The mask means he must be well-known, perhaps [[RichIdiotWithNoDayJob a wealthy entrepreneur with ample free time]]. [[LanternJawOfJustice Square jaw]] indicates strong lineage; perhaps a doctor's son. And the bat motif, most surely inspired by some childhood trauma. "The Masked Bat", perhaps?\\
'''Batman:''' Actually, it's Batman. Sherlock Holmes, I presume.\\
'''Sherlock:''' ''(taken aback)'' How did you deduce my identity so quickly?\\
'''Batman:''' [[IconicOutfit The hat.]]

'''SherlockHolmes''': Beyond the fact that you are a brilliant Jewish physician who was born in Hungary and studied for a while in Paris, and that certain radical theories of yours have alienated the respectable medical community so that you have severed your connections with various hospitals and branches of the medical fraternity, beyond this I can deduce little. You're married, with a child of... five. You enjoy Creator/WilliamShakespeare and possess a sense of honour.

->''"When [[Creator/StevenSeagal Seagal]] is on patrol, darting his head around like a 250-pound bird of prey, he may suddenly see a 107. This is the police code for 'suspicious person.' It's also when Steven Seagal's aikido-trained eyeballs turn on their Crime Vision. Two things happen then: the camera zooms in and white light fills the screen. This allows viewers to then see the black people, [[LastSecondWordSwap I mean 107s]], as Steven Seagal does-- digitally zoomed and pulsing with crime! If I didn't know any better, all these visual effects would make me think that Steven Seagal [[Series/TheIncredibleHulk was transforming into the Hulk.]]"''
