Quotes 

• Mrs. Hudson : It's a disgrace, sending your little brother into danger like that. Family is all we have in the end, Mycroft Holmes.

  Mycroft Holmes : Oh, shut up, Mrs. Hudson!

  Sherlock Holmes : [furious]  Mycroft!

  Dr. John Watson : Hey!

  Mycroft Holmes : [long pause]  Apologies.

  Mrs. Hudson : Thank you.

  Sherlock Holmes : Though do, in fact, shut up.

• Sherlock Holmes : [on the phone]  Lestrade? We've had a break-in at Baker Street. Send your least irritating officers and an ambulance. Oh, no, no, no, no, we're fine. No, it's the, uh, it's the burglar, he's got himself rather badly injured.

  [Neilson, bound and gagged, but otherwise unharmed, looks up in confusion] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Oh, a few broken ribs, fractured skull, suspected punctured lung.

  [pause] 

  Sherlock Holmes : He fell out of a window.

  [cut to the first floor of Baker Street, where John is tending Mrs. Hudon's wounds] 

  Mrs. Hudson : Oh! It stings...

  [a body falls past the window, landing with a crash] 

  Mrs. Hudson : Oh, that was right on my bins.

  [Cut to a later street scene, as the ambulance pulls away] 

  DI Lestrade : And exactly how many times did he fall out of the window?

  Sherlock Holmes : It's all a bit of a blur, Detective Inspector. I lost count.

• Irene Adler : Mr. Holmes, if it was the end of the world, if this was the very last night, would you have dinner with me?

  Mrs. Hudson : [off screen]  Sherlock?

  Irene Adler : Too late.

  Sherlock Holmes : That's not the end of the world, that's Mrs. Hudson.

• Dr. John Watson : She'll have to sleep upstairs in our flat tonight, we need to look after her.

  Mrs. Hudson : No...

  Sherlock Holmes : No, no, no, she's fine.

  Dr. John Watson : No, she's not, look at her. She's got to take some time away from Baker Street. She can go and stay with her sister. Doctor's orders.

  Sherlock Holmes : Don't be absurd.

  Dr. John Watson : She's in shock, for God's sake, and all over some bloody stupid camera-phone. Where is it, anyway?

  Sherlock Holmes : Safest place I know.

  Mrs. Hudson : You left it in the pocket of your second-best dressing gown, you clot.

  [chuckles] 

  Mrs. Hudson : I managed to sneak it out when they thought I was having a cry.

  Sherlock Holmes : Thank you. Shame on you, John Watson.

  Dr. John Watson : Shame on me?

  Sherlock Holmes : Mrs. Hudson leave Baker Street? England would fall.

• Molly Hooper : How's the hip?

  Mrs. Hudson : Oh, it's atrocious, but thanks for asking.

  Molly Hooper : I've seen much worse, but then I do postmortems.

• Mrs. Hudson : Sherlock, this man was at the door, is the bell still not working?

  [to the man] 

  Mrs. Hudson : He shot it.
