I don't have a wife. I haven't had one for a month now.

That would explain the looks you were giving your assistant.

I haven't given anyone looks. In fact, I resent the fact that you think I would even consider mixing business with pleasure.

You have my utter sympathies for pursuing a career you don't find pleasurable.

Have I ever told you how much it irritates me when you choose to misunderstand what I'm telling you? I like my job. I was referring to your veiled accusation regarding sleeping with my staff.

I was referring to the phrase "mixing business with pleasure". If your job is pleasurable, you can't help it.
Why, exactly, are women so attracted to you, anyway? It can't be your charm. Or your nose.

I really didn't need to know you can't help but have relations with your flatmate. Really Sherlock, show some decorum.
Perhaps I just have some nameless quality that men and women can't help but respond to. I have been informed that I look quite handsome in the right suit.

Why does everyone think John and I are a couple? I have no interest in sexual matters.

Or maybe they just see what you can't.

What, precisely, was that intended to mean?

Not all romantic relationships have to be sexual, you know.

However, sex is the basic biological function and endgame of all romantic relationships. The fact that romance is the prelude to sex is proof. Romance breaks down the social barriers so we feel comfortable with performing such an intimate activity.

There are quite a few people who would disagree with you.

I know. I also know I'm right. I also realized this week while in the depths of absolute boredom that you achieved the status of growing up to very nearly be your childhood hero. What was his name? John Steed. Congratulations.
