Sherlock – Series Quotes [Season 2]

— Cameras, we're being watched.
— What?! Cameras? Here? I'm in my nightie!

[John is handcuffed]
— Joining me?
— Yeah. Well, apparently it's against the law to chin the Chief Superintendent.

— You are insane!
— You are just getting that now?

Give Sherlock five minutes on your crime scene, and listen to everything that he has to say. And as far as possible... try not to punch him.

Apparently, it's going to save the world, I'm not sure how, but give me a moment, I've only been on the case eight second.

I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.

— Smoking indoors, isn't there one of those... One of those law things?
— We're in a morgue. There's only so much damage you can do.

Get out, I need to go to my mind palace.

— Hello, Greg.
...
— Is that why you're calling yourself "Greg"?
— That's his name.
— Is it?
— Yes. If you'd ever bothered to find out.

Stop boring me and think. It's the new sexy.

— I wish you could have worn the antlers.
— Some things are best left to the imagination, Mrs Hudson.

— Are you seriously claiming this man is an expert? After the accused for just five minutes?
— Two minutes would have made me an expert, five was ample.
— Mr Holmes, that's a matter for the jury.
— Oh, really? One librarian, two teachers, two high-pressure jobs, probably the city. The foreman's a medical secretary, trained abroad, judging by her shorthand.
— Mr Holmes?
— Seven are married, two are having an affair with each other. Oh, they've just have tea and biscuits. Would you like to know who ate the wafer?

He's writing sad music. Doesn't eat, barely talks, only to correct the television. I'd say he was heart-broken, but, well, he's Sherlock. He does all that anyway.

— I need a case.
— You've just solved one, by harpooning a dead pig, apparently!
— Oh, that was this morning.

— OK, the smoking, how did you know?
— The evidence was right under your nose, John, as ever you see, but do not observe.
— Observe what?
— The ashtray.

You may not be the most luminous of people, but as a conductor of light, you are unbeatable. Some people who aren't geniuses have an ability to stimulate it in others.
