Quotes
-
Jim Moriarty : Every fairy tale needs a good old-fashioned villain.
[pause]
Jim Moriarty : You need me or you're nothing. Because we're just alike, you and I. Except you're boring. You're on the side of the angels.
-
Moriarty : How hard do you find it, having to say "I don't know?"
Sherlock Holmes : I don't know.
Moriarty : Ooh, that's clever.
-
Jim Moriarty : I can open any door anywhere with a few tiny lines of computer code. No such thing as a private bank account now. They're all mine. No such thing as secrecy. I *own* secrecy. Nuclear codes? I could blow up NATO in alphabetical order. In a world of locked rooms, the man with the key is king. And, honey, you should see me in a crown.
-
Sherlock Holmes : You're insane.
Jim Moriarty : You're just getting that now?
-
Jim Moriarty : You think you can make me stop the order? You think you can make me do that?
Sherlock Holmes : Yes.
[pause]
Sherlock Holmes : So do you.
Jim Moriarty : Sherlock, your big brother and all the King's horses couldn't make me do a thing I didn't want to.
Sherlock Holmes : Yes, but I'm not my brother, remember? I am you. Prepared to do anything. Prepared to burn. Prepared to do what ordinary people won't do. You want me to shake hands with you in Hell? I shall not disappoint you.
Jim Moriarty : Nah. You talk big. Nah. You're ordinary. You're ordinary, you're on the side of the angels.
Sherlock Holmes : Oh, I may be on the side of the angels, but don't think for one *second* that I am one of them.
-
Jim Moriarty : You know, when he was on his deathbed, Bach, he heard his son at the piano playing one of his... pieces. The boy stopped before he got to the end.
Sherlock Holmes : And the dying man jumped out of bed, ran straight to the piano and finished it.
Jim Moriarty : Couldn't cope with an unfinished melody.
Sherlock Holmes : Neither can you. It's why you've come.
-
Jim Moriarty : As long as I'm alive, you can save your friends. You've got a way out. Well, good luck with that.
-
Jim Moriarty : Sir Boast-a-Lot was the bravest and cleverest knight at the round table. But soon, the other knights began to grow tired of his stories about how brave he was and how many dragons he'd slain. And so they began to wonder... are Sir Boast-a-Lot's stories even true?
-
Jim Moriarty : Falling's just like flying except there's a more permanent destination.
-
Sherlock Holmes : What was that?
Jim Moriarty : No charge.
