Re: Favourite Quote?

My favorite has to be this one from the Reichenbach Fall,

Watson: "Nobody can fake being such an annoying dick all the time."

Re: Favourite Quote?

These are all brilliant. Not sure I could pick one but I love Moriarty in Reichenbach.
"Ordinary Sherlock"
the way he says that makes me laugh. That's how my husband and I refer to stupid things we do (including our poor attempts at the accent). Hilarious! For such a villan Moriarty has some awesome lines!

Re: Favourite Quote?

"Dust is eloquent!"

I love it. It's my new excuse when my mom makes me dust the house. You want me to what? No, I can't. Dust is useful, dust is eloquent. What if someone breaks in and plants a bug? Then what. You'll thank me later you will! Sadly never works, but... I keep trying.

I should try that. For now my only excuse for not cleaning the house is "Not my division!"

Re: Favourite Quote?

^I wish I could say that. But I can't unless I'm willing to clean the whole house all by myself. Which I am not. Where is Mrs. Hudson when you need her?

Another quote I love is the exchange between Sherlock and Lestrade:

S: Shut up!
L: I didn't say...
S: You're thinking, it's annoying.

I can relate to that. Some people are just annoying when they think.

Re: Favourite Quote?

There are cameras. We are being watched *picks up a tiny camera from the shelf*.

There is obviously more than one camera in the room. Sherlock is right about it. There is a very large camera Paul McGuigan is in charge of.

I always get really overwhelmed when I think about that. It's already impressive how the actors slip into those roles - now think about how difficult it must be to be surrounded my crew members and cameras and microphones and still make it look natural.

Re: Favourite Quote?

Exactly. I imagine that they also have a lot of fun doing this and restraining themselves from laughing.

Re: Favourite Quote?

Sorry, I can't decide on just one. 
"We solve crimes, I blog about it and he forgets his pants.  I wouldn't hold out too much hope"

"you're forgetting Sherlock, I was a soldier, I killed people"  "You Were a Doctor"  "I had bad days!"

"The gun's his Idea.  I'm just you know." "My Hostage!"  "Hostage! That Works."


Most of my favorites are conversations between Sherlock and John.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
Whoa.  Sherlock was quoting Spock who was quoting Sherlock....Mind blown!!

Re: Favourite Quote?

"...between you and me sitting here, why can't people think? Don't it make you mad? Why can't people just think?"

My boyfriend's favourite line: "Anderson, don't talk out loud, you lower the IQ of the entire street."
I swear he's just waiting for the perfect opportunity to actually use that line on somebody.

Re: Favourite Quote?

Well mine is in my sig down below

It always makes me laugh though. Its the "grave peril" way in which Sherlock says it.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sherlock Holmes "The question is, has she been working on something deadlier than a rabbit?"
John Watson : "To be fair, that is quite a wide field"

The Hounds of Baskerville

Re: Favourite Quote?

I can't remember the exact wording...
"Oh, that's clever. Is it clever? why is it clever?"

"round and round the garden like a teddy bear"

Moriarty on the throne "No rush"

Sherlock spraying cleaner in CIA agents face, and head butting him "idiot"
"not good?" "bit not good"

Re: Favourite Quote?

Numerous people have already mentioned my two favorites, both from the same scene: the "punch me in the face" exchange and the "I had bad days!" exchange. Sherlock has some of the most perfectly-written, perfectly-delivered lines I've ever seen on a TV show, and yet my two favorite deliveries are from Martin. 

It's so hard to choose, everything they write for these characters is brilliant. Every time Sherlock gets into one of those long, super-fast monologues...sigh...my feelings cannot be expressed in human language.

Re: Favourite Quote?

Since I am always looking at subtext (writer's, not sexual) I like this one from ASiP:

'Either way, you are wasted as a cabby.' 

Meaning obviously, you are an intelligent guy. Why are you a cabby?
Moffat's subtext: This idea from A Study in Scarlet with the two pills, revenge and a whole background story is too good to just do it with a cabby in ASiP. Let's do it with Moriarty and Sherlock in TRF again differently.

Re: Favourite Quote?

Franklin: "I would tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" *laughs*

Sherlock: "That would be tremendously ambitious of you"

Love it.

Certainly one of my faves is, "I dislike being outnumbered. It makes for too much schtooopid in the room." *smile*

I wish I could quote some of the times Sherlock tells John he's average. lolol  John graduated from medical school and was an officer in Her Majesty's service, so I doubt he's average in the IQ department-- I love the looks he gives Sherlock when he gets told he's average. The one I'm thinking of is in Hounds, the morning after the night before, sitting at breakfast, and Sherlock tells John that he'd tested his theories on a superior mind, so he thought he needed to test it on an average one. *snerk* Gotta love him. Or punch him in the face. Either.

Re: Favourite Quote?

John: Oh, please. Can we not do this this time?
Sherlock: Do what? 
John: You being all mysterious with your cheekbones, and turning your coat collar up so you look cool.
Sherlock: I don't do that. 
John: Yeah, you do.

I have heard that that whole bit was an ad lib. If so, it was inspired, and I'm glad they kept it in.

Wow, that information makes me really happy. I love ad-libs in scripted shows, and that was a brilliant one. Martin strikes again.

Don't take what I said about it being an ad lib as gospel-- I've seen/read/heard so darned much in this fandom in the year I've been in it, my head spins sometimes. But I have some dim memory of hearing that it was an ad lib, lol.
