It's perfectly reasonable to remain silent while you-- [Handwave.] Dilly about on this pointless escapade.

Regardless of the the fact I'm in your head, you could not possibly think you know enough of anything-- let alone me -- to continue this in any accurate form.

In lieu of not adhering to my request, you are met with a resounding silence.

[A pause. Because this is quite the opposite. He exhales, giving an annoyed look.]

Obviously that does not include-- [Another gesture to encompass this place.]

This.

Would you say there is quite a lot going on in your own head, Mr. Holmes? Or is your aversion more akin to claustrophobia?

[cogitates]

Of course there is a lot going on in my head. You can't shut it off. [Most of the time he doesn't want it to, though he's precisely aware of why he did heroin.]

And claustrophobia is the exact opposite of my apartment. So wrong on that account, too. Doctor.

[Time to prove he's smart. More to himself. That nagging feeling that he has to be smarter rising.]
