A quotation from Steven Moffat
WATSON: Pink. You got all that because you realized the case would be pink?
HOLMES: Well, it had to be pink, obviously.
WATSON: Why didn’t I think of that?
HOLMES: Because you’re an idiot. [WATSON looks up, insulted.] No, no, no, don’t be like that. Practically everyone is.
Steven Moffat (b. 1961) Scottish television writer, producer
