Quotes 

• Dr. Joan Watson : [at a safe house]  Well, the good news is that this place is pretty secure, but if you're gonna be here for a few days, we're gonna have to get you some food.

  Mycroft Holmes : "He has no ambition and no energy. He will not even go out of his way to verify his own solutions. He would rather be considered wrong than go to the trouble of proving himself right." Something I overheard Sherlock say to my father once. He was fifteen.

  Dr. Joan Watson : I can't even picture him at fifteen.

  Mycroft Holmes : It hurt, to be... assessed like that.

  Dr. Joan Watson : He knows a lot. He doesn't know everything.

  Mycroft Holmes : I could have followed father into business. I could have... followed Sherlock into his... passions, but I... wanted... this, I suppose.

  Dr. Joan Watson : You are a success. You own restaurants all over Europe. And the things that you've done for your country...

  Mycroft Holmes : Folly. Obviously. I should have said no when the agency approached me. But I remembered what Sherlock said, and I remembered my father failing to disagree. And I... I thought... I could prove, at least to myself, that I was... more than what they thought. Idiocy.

• Dr. Joan Watson : Where are you going?

  Sherlock Holmes : The agency's favorite local. I've got a meeting with them in twenty minutes. Feel free to resume your rutting.

• Dr. Joan Watson : You have this kind of... pull, like gravity. I'm so lucky that I fell into your orbit. But if we live together, that's how it will always be, me orbiting you. There'll always be the next case the next problem, and I will always get pulled along. It's an exciting way to live, but there are consequences. We will work this out; I know we will. But I need to get my own place.
