Sherlock – Series Quotes [Season 1, Episode 3]

— Lestrade — I've been summoned. Coming?
— If you want me to.
— Of course. I'd be lost without my blogger.

What does that matter? So we go round the sun. If we went round the moon, or round and round the garden like a teddy bear, it wouldn't make any difference!

— Pointless, you'll never find him, but I know a man who can.

All that matters to me is the work! Without that, my brain rots!

— John! What the hell...?
— Bet you never saw this coming.

— I'm glad no one saw that. You ripping my clothes off in a darkened swimming pool. People might talk.

The fan site's indispensable for gossip.
