Sherlock Holmes quotes from Sherlock

Sherlock

I have known many people in this world, but made few friends, and I can safely say-

John

-I cheated on her.

Sherlock

...

John

No clever comeback?

John

[talking to Mary] I cheated on you, Mary. There was a woman on the bus, and I had a plastic daisy in my hair, I'd been playing with Rosie. And this girl just smiled at me. That's all it was, it was a smile. We texted, constantly. You want to know when? Every time you left the room, that's when. When you were feeding our daughter. When you were stopping her from crying, that's when. And that's all it was. Just texting. But I wanted more. And do you know something? I still do. I'm not the man you thought I was, I'm not that guy. I never could be. But that's the point. [voice breaking] That's the whole point. Who you thought I was...is the man who I want to be.

Well, then...John Watson... [smiling] Get the hell on with it.

Sherlock

It's okay.

John

[crying] It's not okay.

Sherlock

No...But it is what it is.

Sherlock

It's not a pleasant thought, John. I have this terrible feeling from time to time that we might all just be human.

John

Even you?

Sherlock

No. Even you.

Mycroft

(to Watson) This is a private matter.

Sherlock

John stays.

Mycroft

This is family.

Sherlock

THAT'S. WHY. HE STAYS.

You look funny grown up.

What’s wrong?

Mycroft

Sorry. The memories are disturbing.

Sherlock

What do you mean? Examples?

Mycroft

They found her with a knife once. She seemed to be cutting herself. Mother and Father were terrified; they thought it was a suicide attempt. But when I asked Eurus what she was doing, she said-

I wanted to see how my muscles worked.

Jesus.

Mycroft

So, I asked her if she felt pain and she said-

Which one’s pain?
