For my birthday I demand no less than six unsolved homicides, double or
higher, two pairs of green eyes, unlimited access to the former Stark
Tower, and whatever passes for Windex around here.

I can't get you people dying for your birthday, Sherlock. I'm sorry, but the police would have a conniption. You're going to have to pick something a little more practical.

You never let me have any fun.

I know. I'm a mean old babysitter.

How about I take you out for a nice dinner, instead? I could see if there's something to do after if you like.

It's just as well. A murder committed by you probably wouldn't be particularly
difficult to solve anyway.

Oh? Like what?

Dunno. Haven't much sampled the night life here. I could see if there's a play on, or we could even have ourselves a pub crawl.

Sure.

Just to be clear... have you ever actually been out drinking before?

Oh, sure. The boys and I used to hit every pub in London on weekends.

Sometimes I can't tell when you're being serious or not.

If that's what you want, I think I can limber up and have a night out. It's been a while, but I think I can confidently manage.

Of course not.

I don't care, it was your suggestion.

Well I don't want you to do something you don't want to. I know how much you hate being out with people but... maybe if you're with me it won't be so bad?

Well, it's not a triple homicide, but it'll do in a pinch.

Brilliant. Do you want me to phone Irene and have her look after Shinichi for the night, then?

If you think her per-hour babysitting fees won't be the same as her last career.

God, I hope not. Luckily, she seems to genuinely enjoy Shinichi's company. Any chance we can convince her it's not actually babysitting?

I am quite certain she will not actually consider Shinichi's
presence a burden for which she should be compensated.

That's an odd request. No offense but I think we can go without the six homicides.

We can also go without electricity, but why would you want to?

Murder and electricity are two completely different things.

Oh well done.

We only have four unsolved homicides on file right now. Sorry.

I can't depend on anyone.

Any particularly baffling robberies?

Someone stole all the peanut butter from the super market. That's kind of baffling.

All right, throw it in.

I'll have someone bring the files over. And the cleaner. Happy birthday.

What do you need eyes for?

Recreating an old case.

You must have the most interesting birthday parties.

Wouldn't know where to look for those besides a morgue and they probably want to keep their eyes over there. You could ask Miss Grigio if her boyfriend keeps any in his fridge or something. Otherwise, I'm at a loss with that one. And the Windex. I haven't figure out what they call that yet.
