Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : I owe you a bit of an apology. I attempted to express my concern for you last night, but my thoughts were distorted by the lens of my own needs. It was not optimally done.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Oh, that's okay.

  Sherlock Holmes : What I was trying to say was that one of the things I've gained from our collaboration is a working definition of the word friendship. Friendship, I've come to believe, is most accurately defined as two people moving towards the best aspects of one another. It is a relationship of mutual benefit, mutual gain. Another thing I've learned is that my isolationist tendencies are decidedly not my best quality. I am not a better person because of a lack of connection. So, I think the healthy thing is for you not to move in my direction. In fact, quite the opposite.

  Dr. Joan Watson : That's worth thinking about.

• Sherlock Holmes : Enjoy yourself... Watson.

  Dr. Joan Watson : I will try... Holmes.

• Sherlock Holmes : Our relationship is predicated on one Holmes and one Watson. It's a delicate homeostasis. It doesn't function properly if there are two Holmeses and no Watsons. So while I am sensitive to this is likely a ripple effect from the tragedy, turning yourself into me in response is not good for our partnership.

• Cory Evans : You said you're with the NYPD. We're big supporters of law enforcement.

  Sherlock Holmes : You're partisan hacks who twist facts until they cohere to a pre-existing viewpoint. All whilst hiding behind the seemingly academic label of a think tank. I despise you and people of your ilk on both sides of the aisle.

• Petros Franken : Okay, so I don't know if you know this or not, but right now we're having, like, this civil war.

  Sherlock Holmes : Everyone?

  Petros Franken : Two sides fighting for the soul of the collective. Did you just roll your eyes?

  Sherlock Holmes : No. Carry on.

• Dr. Joan Watson : Why are those guys bringing a python into the house?

  Sherlock Holmes : It's gone now.
