Are you aware what Mr. Escardos has been doing with that devilish horn he's so fond of?!

[That's a trombone, Sholmes]

[ This immediately makes her go sour. ]

The trombone. Yes, I am very much aware. Was it "Nyancat" again?

I'm not aware what it's called. Mr. Escardos seems to have learned more songs, enough to fill several hours of repertoire.

[Sholmes huffs]

You're our instructor. Shouldn't you be taking measures against that instrument?

[Not even soundproofing, it's like he's suggesting to get rid of the trombone itself. Sholmes doesn't bring Flat when bringing up action, because hey, he doesn't want punishment to befall him]

[ ... ]

You're suggesting that we confiscate the instrument from Flat. Is that right?

It's an option to consider.

[Sorry to throw your trombone under the bus, Flat, but things must be done for the sake of the investigation.

Sholmes looks around, touching the walls of the phone booth]

But that's not the only option. I recall seeing Mr. Escardos in this booth, serenading you with that instrument for several hours. Barring him from playing the trombone in this dormitory area should be enough to prevent his feline song from causing havoc here, forcing him to play it somewhere else. There must be a place where it won't reach your ears, or mine.

[But especially hers. He suggests that because he does feel bad for potentially ruining Flat's fun, and also because it may help find out what kind of areas aren't under the instructor's purview, if any. That she asked about if the Nyancat had tormented him was an interesting response, suggesting she wasn't listening to Flat's recent repertoire a moment ago]

Take it to – I don't know, the karaoke bar? Somewhere around there. Can't you folks have your practice room down there?

[ There you go, Herlock. Hopefully the answer you're looking for, though she's too fed up with Flat's incessant playing to really consider what she's saying. ]

As much as I'd like to take away Flat's trombone, out of fairness, I'd need to remove that option entirely from everyone's shop and I'd like to save myself the headache.

...I suppose an instructor's duty also is to be fair. [Sholmes steps outside and takes off the booth the 'practice room' sign] The new practice room will be located at the karaoke bar. I do have noticed we have a number of musical instruments around, we can't all stand here and practice!

[Sholmes is pretty satisfied for a moment, until he remembers something else and returns to the screen with indignation]

Which brings me to another complaint, Ms. Lorelei. What was that nonsensical instrument I was given? Only someone daft would think a viola and a violin are the same!

[Says the man who didn't notice at all he had a viola until someone else pointed it out]

Thank you, I'm sure we won't be the only ones who'd appreciate that.

[ Hien, for one, will be able to sleep at night?? Maybe?? ]

Oh, was it a viola instead of a violin? You can play that though, can't you?

[ Rip to Herlock... ]

This is a wonderful opportunity to learn a new instrument.
