Quotes
-
Sherlock Holmes : You can't just break into my flat.
DI Lestrade : And you can't withhold evidence. And I didn't break into your flat.
Sherlock Holmes : Well, what do you call this then?
DI Lestrade : It's a drugs bust.
Dr John Watson : Seriously. This guy, a junkie? Have you met him?
Sherlock Holmes : John.
Dr John Watson : I'm pretty sure you could search this flat all day, and you wouldn't find anything you could call recreational.
Sherlock Holmes : John, you probably want to shut up now.
Dr John Watson : Yeah, but come on.
[pause]
Dr John Watson : No...
Sherlock Holmes : What?
Dr John Watson : You?
Sherlock Holmes : Shut up!
[to Lestrade]
Sherlock Holmes : I'm not your sniffer dog.
DI Lestrade : No, Anderson's my sniffer dog.
Sherlock Holmes : What, A... Anderson, what are you doing here on a drugs bust?
Anderson : Oh, I volunteered.
DI Lestrade : They all did. They're not strictly speaking *on* the drug squad, but they're very keen.
Sgt Sally Donovan : [holding up a jar] Are these human eyes?
Sherlock Holmes : Put those back.
Sgt Sally Donovan : But they were in the microwave.
Sherlock Holmes : It's an experiment.

Sgt Sally Donovan : [after Sherlock has disrupted their press conference on the serial suicides by sending the text message "WRONG!" to every single reporter's cell phone] You've got to stop him doing that. He's making us look like idiots.
DI Lestrade : If you can tell me *how* he does it, I'll stop him.

Sgt Sally Donovan : You know why he's here? He's not paid or anything. He likes it. He gets off on it. The weirder the crime, the more he gets off. And you know what?... One day just showing up won't be enough. One day we'll be standing round a body, and Sherlock Holmes will be the one that put it there.
Dr John Watson : Why would he do that?
Sgt Sally Donovan : Because he's a psychopath... Psychopaths get bored.
