"I'm not a psychopath, Anderson, I'm a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research." --Sherlock, 1x01 "Sorry, gotta dash, I think I left my riding crop in the mortuary." --Sherlock, 1x01 "Dear God. What is it like in your funny little brains? It must be so boring." --Sherlock, 1x01 "We've got a serial killer on our hands. Love those, there's always something to look forward to." --Sherlock, 1x01 "Stop it! We can't giggle at a crime scene." --John, 1x01 "Okay, I'm Sherlock Holmes and I always work alone, because no one else can compete with my massive intellect!" --John, 1x02 "Don't make people into heroes, John. Heroes don't exist, and if they did, I wouldn't be one of them." --Sherlock, 1x03 [In Buckingham Pallace, Sherlock is wrapped in a sheet, apparently naked] John: Are you wearing any pants? Sherlock: ...No. John: Okay. --2x01 "We solve crimes. I blog about it, and he forgets his pants. I wouldn't hold out too much hope." --John, 2x01 "Brainy is the new sexy." --Irene Adler, 2x01 "Mrs Hudson, leave Baker Street? England would fall!" --Sherlock, 2x01 "No...[Takes her hand and leans in to whisper] because I took your pulse. Elevated. Your pupils dilated. I imagine John Watson thinks love’s a mystery to me, but the chemistry is incredibly simple and very destructive. When we first met, you told me that a disguise is always a self-portrait, how true of you, the combination to your safe – your measurements. [Holds up her phone] But this, this is far more intimate. This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. [He starts entering digits] You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you worked for. But you just couldn't resist it, could you? I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof." --Sherlock, 2x01 "Oh, I may be on the side of the angels... but don't think for one second that I am one of them." --Sherlock, 2x03 You... you told me once... that you weren't a hero. Umm... There were times I didn't even think you were human, but let me tell you this. You were the best man, the most human... human being that I've ever known and no one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, so... there. I was so alone... and I owe you so much. But please, there's just one more thing, one more miracle, Sherlock, for me, don't be... dead. Would you do that just for me? Just stop it. Stop this..." --John, 2x03 "I believe in Sherlock Holmes." --Anderson, 3x01 "You’re dead." "No. I’m quite sure I checked. Excuse me. [Dips a napkin into some water and wipes off his fake moustache. Looks at John’s moustache] Does yours rub off, too?" --Mary and Sherlock, 3x01 "Before you do anything you might later regret, one question, let me ask one question. [Beat. He indicates John’s moustache] Are you really going to keep that? [John stares at him for a moment before grabbing him by the jacket and throwing him to the ground in an attempt to throttle him]" --Sherlock, 3x01 "I like him." --Mary, 3x01 "I don’t shave for Sherlock Holmes." "You should put that on a t-shirt." --John, Mary, 3x01 "The point I'm trying to make is that I am the most unpleasant, rude, ignorant and all-round obnoxious arsehole that anyone could possibly have the misfortune to meet. I am dismissive of the virtuous, [He looks at the priest], unaware of the beautiful [He looks at the maid of honour] and uncomprehending in the face of the happy [He looks at Watson and Mary]. So if I didn't understand I was being asked to be best man, it is because I never expected to be anybody's best friend. And certainly not the best friend of the bravest and kindest and wisest human being I have ever had the good fortune of knowing. John, I am a ridiculous man, [John nods] redeemed only by the warmth and constancy of your friendship. But, as I am apparently you best friend, I cannot congratulate you on your choice of companion. [Beat] Actually, now I can. [To Mary] Mary, when I say you deserve this man, it is the highest compliment of which I am capable. John, you have endured war and injury and tragic loss - so sorry again about that last one - so know this; today you sit between the woman you have made your wife and the man you have saved. In short, the two people who love you most in all this world. And I know I speak for Mary as well when I say we will never let you down and we have a lifetime ahead to prove that." --Sherlock, 3x02 "The problems of your past are your business. The problems of your future...are my privilege. That's all I have to say; that's all I need to know." --John, 3x03
