Strategic Combat Between Sherlock and Moriarty
Sherlock Holmes
His advantage: My injury. My advantage: His rage Incoming assault feral... but experienced. Use his momentum to counter.
[Visualizing his final fight with Moriarty; thinking; After lighting Holmes' pipe, Moriarty attacks, Holmes tries to block him, exchanging blows; Holmes starts to block and counter Moriarty's punches and punches him in the face]
Professor James Moriarty
Come now, you really think you're the only one that can play this game? Chop arm, target weakness. Follow with haymaker.
[Visualizing the same fight with Holmes; thinking; Moriarty takes punch from Holmes and locks his left arm while hitting Holmes' injured right shoulder; Swings Holmes into a pillar]

Ah, there we find the boxing champion of Cambridge.
[Countering Moriarty's haymakers; Punches Moriarty]

As I feared. Injury makes defense untenable. Prognosis: Increasingly negative

Conclusion: Inevitable. Unless...

Debate Over Safety of the Amphitheatre
Severus
I don't have time for this, Graecus; what are you suggesting? We cancel the games?
Graecus
Of course not, merely postpone them.
Severus
This amphitheatre has stood for a hundred years. It withstood the great earthquake.
Graecus
It may not be safe. Use your eyes. I'm just saying, I cannot be held responsible for what may happen.
Severus
Then don't be. I take full responsibility. How can we expect Rome to trust us to rebuild an entire city, if we can't stage a simple bloody spectacle?

The Inevitability of Human Conflict
Professor James Moriarty
You see...hidden within the unconscious is an insatiable desire for conflict. So you're not fighting me...so much as you are the human condition. All I want is to own the bullets and the bandages. War, on an industrial scale, is inevitable. They'll do it themselves, within a few years. All I have to do...is wait.

We're eager to be on our way to Washington.
Alexander H. Stephens
Did Mr. Lincoln tell you to tell us this?
Ulysses S. Grant
It says, securing peace for our two countries'. And it goes on like that.
Alexander H. Stephens
I don't know what you–
Ulysses S. Grant
There's just one country. You and I, we're citizens of that country. I'm fighting to protect it from armed rebels. From you.
Alexander H. Stephens
But Mr. Blair told us, he, he told President Jefferson Davis we were–
Ulysses S. Grant
A private citizen like Preston Blair can say what he pleases, since he has no authority over anything. If you want to discuss peace with President Lincoln, consider revisions.
Alexander H. Stephens
If we're not to discuss a truce between warring nations, what in heaven's name can we discuss?
Ulysses S. Grant
Terms of surrender.
