If you were going to be a threat for example, I probably could have wiped your mind or left you immobile, but without my abilities I can’t really do any of that.
If you do anything like that to me or anyone, then I would most gladly haunt you from the grave and make your teeth rot, my dear fellow. I have my ways. Don't be an idiot.
Do you? Do you promise? I won't have you killing people or wiping their minds on me! Think of how disappointed I would be! I would have to get rid of all your privilege as sidekick assistant!
Good. Keep that in your heart. A move like that only serves to destroy one's soul for good. And it would be a shame for you to diminish yourself like that.
Don't let the pressure get to your head, my dear boy. You have support, so derive strength from that. [And he's smiling.] Of course you're glad. Anyone would be, with a great detective such as myself.

And what if they promise you to bring back Jack?

I’ll say no. It’s not worth it.

I probably could. If it were just my issue, I could probably find a way to kill someone to get my friend back.
[ he says this neutrally, as if he were commenting about the weather ]
But the amount of people that I would disappoint—Jack included, I think—is scary enough to stop me.

I’m glad I met you, sir, really.
