Quotes 

• [snippets from taped sessions] 

  Eurus Holmes : Smiling is advertising.

  [and] 

  Eurus Holmes : Happiness is a pop song. Sadness is a poem.

• Sherlock Holmes : I think it's time you told me your real name.

  Girl on Plane : I'm not allowed to tell my name to strangers.

  Sherlock Holmes : But I'm not a stranger, am I? I'm your brother. I'm here, Eurus.

  Eurus Holmes : You're playing with me, Sherlock. We're playing the game.

  Sherlock Holmes : The game. Yes, I get it now. The song was never a set of directions.

  Eurus Holmes : I'm in the plane. I'm going to crash. And you're going to save me.

  Sherlock Holmes : Look how brilliant you are. Your mind has created the perfect metaphor. You're high above us, all alone in the sky, and you understand everything except how to land. Now, I'm just an idiot, but I'm on the ground. I can bring you home.

  Eurus Holmes : No. No, no. It's too late.

  Sherlock Holmes : No, it's not. It's not too late.

  Eurus Holmes : Every time I close my eyes, I'm on the plane. I'm lost. Lost in the sky and... no one can hear me.

  Sherlock Holmes : [whispering]  Open your eyes. I am here. You're not lost anymore.

  [Eurus opens her eyes and starts crying] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Now... you... you just... you just went the wrong way last time, that's all. This time, get it right. Tell me how to save my friend.

  [quick cut to Watson almost covered with water in the well] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Eurus. Help me save John Watson.

• Eurus Holmes : Is that vibrato or is your hand shaking?

• Eurus Holmes : Mycroft told me you'd rewritten your memories. He didn't tell me you'd written me out completely.

  Sherlock Holmes : What do you mean, "rewritten"?

  Eurus Holmes : You still don't know about Redbeard, do you? Oh. This is going to be such a good day.

• Eurus Holmes : Countdown starting.

  Mycroft Holmes : How long?

  Eurus Holmes : No, no, no. The countdown is for me. Withholding the precise deadline, I'm gonna apply the emotional pressure more evenly where possible. Please give me an explicit verbal indication of your anxiety levels. I can't always read them from your behavior.

• Eurus Holmes : At long last, Sherlock Holmes, it's time to solve the Musgrave Ritual, your very first case, and the final problem.

• Eurus Holmes : Me and Jim Moriarty got on like a house on fire, which reminded me of home.

• Eurus Holmes : i'm letting the water in now. You don't want me to drown another one of your pets, do you?
