Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : For a previously unremarkable drug dealer, Ms. Moreno continues to defy expectations. Spree killer is yet another category dominated by men.

  Dr. Joan Watson : [Softly sarcastic]  How *does* she do it?

  Sherlock Holmes : Would you be happier if women were better criminals?

• Sherlock Holmes : I have what some might call a strong personality.

  Detective Marcus Bell : [Sarcastically]  Nahhh.

• Sherlock Holmes : [Entering the subway]  Watson, you've lived here your whole life. Why do think so many New Yorkers feel the need to combine public transportation with public urination?

  Dr. Joan Watson : You know, it's part of the charm.

• Sherlock Holmes : [Arguing about whether or not Bell knows that the detective he's been seeing works for Internal Affairs]  Well, say he doesn't. How is it any of our concern?

  Dr. Joan Watson : Are you serious?

  Sherlock Holmes : We're not cops, Watson. For as long as there's been police, there's been police corruption. The bureau might not be popular, but it's utterly necessary.

  Dr. Joan Watson : You just said you surveilled them.

  Sherlock Holmes : Because I feared that they might not approve of our methods. Not because I thought they're inherently evil.

• Sherlock Holmes : True prison breaks, those from within the grounds, are rare. Those perpetrated by women, almost unheard of.

  [Joan gives him a look] 

  Sherlock Holmes : It's statistics, Watson. It's not that they fail more; it's just that they don't try.

• Detective Marcus Bell : You think you broke us up with the power of your mind?

  Sherlock Holmes : I'm just pointing out a pattern.

  Detective Marcus Bell : Holmes, you're no magnet, and I'm sure as hell not a fork.

  Sherlock Holmes : You are in your own way, Marcus, a lonelier man than me.

  Detective Marcus Bell : What?

  Sherlock Holmes : Well I at least have Watson. And you? You deserve more.

  Detective Marcus Bell : She's IA.

  Sherlock Holmes : The great love of my life is a homicidal maniac. No one's perfect. Detective Scott made you happy. That much is obvious. So, perhaps she still can.
