"Sherlock, it's not a big deal. I'll get you some kidneys from Molly, you can start it over again tomorrow."
"You useless, idiotic child. You've ruined two weeks of work."
"Yeah, well you're a terrible excuse for a father. I don't care if it's bloody obvious my genetic material came from you, John's my only real dad."
