Jonny Lee Miller: Sherlock Holmes

Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : [Referring to the victim]  I was an admirer. Garrison Boyd was president of the Five Burroughs Skeptic Association. He was debunker of the highest order. He was a bright light of reason in a sea of gullibility and magical thought. He was a professional doubter.

  M.E. Hawes : Of?

  Sherlock Holmes : Pseudo science. The paranormal. Organized religion. All the usual bollocks.

• Finn : I won't pretend that Mr. Boyd and I didn't have a contentious relationship. He took issue with the church on more than one occasion.

  Sherlock Holmes : You mean he took issue with your cult.

  Finn : He misused that term as well. It's just the kind of rigid, closed minded thinking that I preach against here. At one time or another, every great religion has been attacked as a cult.

  Sherlock Holmes : So have most cults.

• Sherlock Holmes : [Referring to a picture of a cable found underneath a woman's home]  Meet Ruby. She's a transatlantic data cable. The fastest in the world, and a backup of the North American internet.

  Captain Thomas Gregson : She looks like a garden hose.

  Sherlock Holmes : It's a curse of the modern age that very significant things appear common place. Now Ruby is one of several undersea cables which connects Europe to the United States. The full spectrum of commerce and communication flows through her optic fibers. As well as the requisite glut of pornography and cat videos.

• Sherlock Holmes : Hello. Miss Massee, my name is Sherlock Holmes. I'm a consultant with the New York Police Department. I was hoping I might ask you a few questions.

  Yolanda Massee : Do you have a badge?

  Sherlock Holmes : I'm afraid I'm quite allergic to iconography.

• Sherlock Holmes : [Issuing a hard warning to cult leader Finn]  Ms. Weinberg is leaving with *us*. Any attempt to hinder her return to her former life will be met with an energy transference most unpleasant.
