Dr. John Watson: [looking at needle marks on Sherlock's arm] Yeah, well, they're real enough, I suppose.

Eurus: [to John Watson] Oh. He's making a funny face. I think I'll put a hole in it.
Dr. John Watson: I mean, obviously, "normal" and "fine" are both relative terms when it comes to Sherlock and Mycroft.
Dr. John Watson: Well, how is he?
Sherlock: [answering for Molly] Basically fine.
Molly: I've seen healthier people on the slab.
Sherlock: Yeah, but, to be fair, you work with murder victims. They tend to be quite young.
Molly: Not funny.
Sherlock: Little bit funny.
Molly: If you keep taking what you're taking at the rate you're taking it, you've got weeks.
Sherlock: Exactly, weeks! Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Culverton: Oh... no, I-I'll lay it out for you. There are two possible explanations for what's going on here. Either I'm a "serial killer" or Sherlock Holmes is off his tits on drugs, hm? Delusional paranoia about a... a public personality. That's not so special. It's not even new.
Culverton: [turns to Sherlock] I think you need to, uh, tell your faithful little friend how you're wasting his time because you're too high to know what's real anymore.

- If there's a queue, join it.
- For god's sake, this is not one of your idiot cases.
- You might wanna close that window.

- Please save my wife.
- There will, I'm afraid, be regular prompts to create an atmosphere of urgency.
- Moriarty: Tick-tock...
- Tick, tick, tick. Tick, tick, tick...
- Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
- Seven.

Sherlock: You know, it's not my place to say, but it was just texting. People text. Even I text. Her, I mean. Woman. Bad idea. Try not to, but, you know, sometimes...

Sherlock: It's not a pleasant thought, John, but I have this terrible feeling from time to time that we might all just be human.
Dr. John Watson: Even you?
Sherlock: No. Even you.

Dr. John Watson: [weeping] No, it's not.
Sherlock: No. But it is what it is.
- Sherlock.
- No. No!

Sherlock: As I think I have explained to you *many* times before, romantic entanglement, while fulfilling for other people...
Dr. John Watson: [interrupts] Would complete you as a human being.
Sherlock: That doesn't even mean anything.
Dr. John Watson: Just text her. Phone her. Do something while there's still a chance, because that chance doesn't last forever. Trust me, Sherlock, it's gone before you know it. Before you know it!
Sherlock: Do you know why I'm going to take your case? Because of the one impossible thing you said.
Faith: What impossible thing?
Sherlock: You said your life turned on one word.
Faith: Yes. The name of the person my father wanted to kill.
Sherlock: That's the impossible thing. Just that, right there.
Faith: What's impossible?
Sherlock: Names are not one word. They're always at least two. Sherlock Holmes. Faith Smith. Santa Claus. Winston Churchill. Napoleon Bonaparte... Actually, just Napoleon would do.
Faith: Or Elvis.

Mrs. Hudson: Anything you need, anytime: just ask. Anything at all.
Dr. John Watson: Thank you.
[walks out and turns back]
Dr. John Watson: Uh... sometimes, can I borrow your car?
Mrs. Hudson: No.
Culverton: We're going to have endless fun, Mr Holmes. Aren't we?
Culverton: Please, please, no violence. Thank you Doctor Watson. I don't think he's a danger any more. Leave him be.
Sherlock: No, no it's OK, let him do what he wants, he's entitled. I killed his wife.
Dr. John Watson: Yes you did.
