Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : Did you say everything you wanted to say today? To Moriarty? That is why you accompanied her to the Fuller residence, is it not? So you would have a private dialogue with her?

  Dr. Joan Watson : Well, you have been hogging her for the last few months.

  Sherlock Holmes : I told you. I have merely been...

  Dr. Joan Watson : Studying her. Right. You have feelings for her, and that is perfectly normal.

  Sherlock Holmes : I have nothing of the sort.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Irene was the love of your life. That is why, in spite of everything, you can't quite give her up. I get that. But I also know that you're only gonna get hurt in the long run because there is no Irene. There is only Moriarty. And Moriarty is never gonna change.

• Jamie Moriarty : Would you be surprised to learn you've been on my mind, Joan Watson?

  Dr. Joan Watson : Not really.

  Jamie Moriarty : I don't typically misread people, but you're more clever than I initially anticipated. More interesting. If you weren't, I would never have been caught.

  Dr. Joan Watson : I think you give me too much credit.

  Jamie Moriarty : It's what you crave, is it not? Acknowledgment from a superior mind. Evidence that you matter. Why else pursue a partnership with a man like Sherlock?

  Dr. Joan Watson : Actually the partnership was his idea. That bothers you, doesn't it?

  Jamie Moriarty : I confess I don't understand it, but I'm drawn to things I don't understand. Same as Sherlock. Once I've figured you out, I'll move on. Same as Sherlock.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Is that why you've been writing him? Because you want to... understand him?

  Jamie Moriarty : Part of it, I suppose.

  Dr. Joan Watson : And the rest?

  Jamie Moriarty : What do you think?

  Dr. Joan Watson : You think you're in love with him. Only you can't be sure, because as much as you claim to know about the world, love is something you don't quite get.

  Jamie Moriarty : You'd be surprised what I'd do for love.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Nothing crazy people do surprises me.'

  Jamie Moriarty : I write to Sherlock because he's the only person on the planet I can really talk to. He writes to me because I'm the only one he can talk to. The only one he can ever truly relate to. If you still don't understand that, you will someday. I promise.
