Scramble

Pinch of salt.

A touch of pepper.

Flip the omelette.

Additional seasoning required

Breakfast is served.

Come with me.

I need you alive.... Now

Didn't see that in the cards did you?

Come on down folks.. Come on down

Looks like we have ourselfs our next cock fight

Go after him...

All mine.. ?

Now wait a minute!

Your right, It is sick

Hey... You you run...

Where was ya

I just had a fight

Just had a fight, Where were you?

I am so glad to see your taking

your best man duties so seriously Sherlock.

I was on my own,

You not going to get my moneyies!

She biting my leg!

I'll have Carruthers put some

fuel into that motor carriage of yours

You do have a wedding to attend

Oh... I'll drive

Hmmmm.....

Honk Honk Ha hah ha

Another drink..!

I think you've had quite enough.

I've been to a wedding here before.

A funeral too

The Professor wants to meet.

I'd expected to hear from him sooner

In light of recent events ...

He was wondering if it would be convient for

you to come by the college this afternoon.

His lecture concludes at four

Looking forward

One side Chumley

Fischerweise Schubert.

Speaking latin

Give up your foolish trickery

This fish you can not cheat.

I hope I'm not intruding

Ahh.. Excuse me,

Please take these up to Mr. Williams and

make sure he packs my white tie and tails

I'll take care of it professor, ...Thank you

I do apologize, I'm off on a blasted lecture tours

Would you care for some tea or coffee?

Neither

Something stronger perhaps?

No... but might I trouble you for an inscription?

I read that the good doctor

was to be married today.

How was the service?

Definitive

He'll no longer be party to my investigations

He's out of the equation.

I... trust you'll take this into consideration?

And what considerations will you grant me?

Have you actually read the book?

I found it compelling.

Thought I'm primarily intrested

in your more recent endevors

I take that as a compliment.

I have the utmost regard

for your talents.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

Officially...

Are you familiar with

the study of graphology?

I've never given it any serious thought no

Psychological Analysis of Handwriting.

The upward strokes on the

P, the J and M indicate

A Genius level intellect.

While the flourishes on the lower zone to note

a highly creative yet... meticulous nature

But if one observes the overall slant

and the pressure of the writing

There's a suggestion of acute narcissism,

A complete lack of empathy,

And a pronounced inclination toward ...

No!

Moral insanity

An answer to your previous request,

Regarding Dr. Watson not being involved the answer is...

No.

The laws of celestrial mechanics dictate

that when two objects collide

there is always damage ...

Of a collateral nature

Speaks Latin

Two gentlemen find themselfs at

cross purposes

A young woman ...

Torn between them.

The strain proves to much for her

And she suddenly falls ill.

With tragic... consequences.

A rare form of tuberculosis.

She succumbed in a matter of seconds.

Now ...

Are you sure you want to play this game?

I'm afraid you'd lose

Rest assure,

If you attempt to bring destruction down upon me,

I shall do the same to you

My respect for you, Mr. Holmes,

Is the only reason your still alive.

You've paid me several compliments.

Let me pay you one in return,

When I said if I were assured of the

former eventuality,

I will cheerfully accept the latter.

I'll be sure to send my regards to the happy couple.

Another time then ...

Which carrage are we?

It should be just....

Here

Ohh... First Class!

All aboard... All aboard...

Hurry up, Doctor Watson. Your wife needs you.

Coming Mrs. Watson

Ohh... First class Champagne

You know how to spoil a girl Mr. Watson.

Your not just any girl.

I'm Sorry madam but you can not use the lavatory

while the train is in station.

Your Mrs. Watson?

Give me that bottle

John there is no where else in the

world I'd rather be

There's no one I'd rather be with

Why do you have a gun stuffed down

the back of your trousers?

Heh, Old habits

Ahem... Come in

-Oh yes please

-We didn't order that

With our Compliments sir.

Thank you, Put it there.

Open the door John.

I think it's time for you to leave.

Sit down..

I agree it's not my best

disguise but... I had to make do

My....God

They'll be back.

Ohh...John, Shut the door

They'll only shoot through it my lovey

He's right... Oh my god

Huh.. I understand

Do you?

Terribly inconvenient.

We don't have much time!

How many are we expecting?

Half a dozen

- Who are they?

- A wedding present from Moriarty

Lovely ceremony by the way,

Many a tears shed in joy

Oh.. John!

Just a minute darling

Do you trust me?

No.

Well, then I should have to...

Do something about that

Who's up to bat next you bastards!

Send out the fastballer!

John do shut the door

It had to be done.

She's safe now!

In my own defense.. I timed it perfectly

You killed my wife!

Did you just kill... my new wife?

Of course not!

How do you know that when

you just threw her off a train?

I told you I'd timed it perfectly

What does that mean?

Calm down!!

Explain!!

By the time I'd explain we'd both be dead!

I'm sorry madam but you can not use the lavatory

while the train is in station.

That was no accident!

It was by design

Now ...

Do you need me to elaborate?

Or can we just crack on?

Come on!

Do not worry old boy, She's as safe as

houses, she's with my brother

I'm on my honeymoon!

Why did you lead them here?

Why did you involve us?

There not here for me!, There here for you!

Fortunately ...

So am I

Now move the door!

Good evening.

I think you'll find second class is

more comforable

The coast is clear..

To the south!, Quick march!

Lie down with me Watson

Why?

I insist

What are we doing down here?

We are waiting

I.. am

smoking

Patiently waiting...

For what!?

Your window of opportunity

Make it count!

I said make it count!

How many windows did I provide?

Who'd have known that honeymooning

in Brighton was such a dangerous notion?

Is that what this is about?

By your own admission, You've never enjoyed there.

I've never been to Brighton.

Or ... Your just to fragile to

remember at present.

Oh, shut up!

Tell me that my wife's safe!

I can't do both.

I promise.

As I said I timed it perfectly.

Over... here madam.

I believe congratulations

are in order Mrs. Watson.

I'm the other Holmes.

You mean there's two of you?

Oh how marvelous, Could this evening get any better?

Why were Mary and I targeted at all?

Excellent question.

The answer is two fold,

He's after us...

Because of you.

I afraid you must bear half the responsibility

Here ... it comes

Had you and Mary had not been

so hellbent on your wedding,

We could've already solved this case

There it is... It's my fault now

All I say is that the

argument could mean you

No, It couldn't

That your nuptials were rather poorly timed
