Sherlock: I observe and then I deduce.

Sherlock: Language is evolving Watson becoming a more effective version of itself. I love text shorthand. It's a way you to convey content and tone without losing velocity.

Sherlock: For future reference. When I say I agree with you, it means I'm not listening.

Sherlock: I'm Sherlock Holmes, I am a temporarily suspended consultant for the NYPD. This is Joan Watson and she keeps me from doing heroine.

Sherlock: I am smarter than everyone I meet.

Sherlock: I have no intention of capturing M, I have every intention of capturing, torturing and murdering him.

Sherlock: Excuse me, might we offer you a drink and some company?
Escort: I'd love a drink.
Sherlock: Excellent, now that's out of the way. My friend and I were wondering what you might charge to sleep with us?

Sherlock: That tea you made the other day, could make some more of it?

Sherlock: You want sex?
Vanowen: Excuse me?
Sherlock: I'm not adverse, I'm just busy. Perhaps we should set an appointment? You're flirting, this crossword talk. You find me attractive. The feeling is mutual... Mostly. The musculature of your legs, your shoulders suggest a certain elasticity that I find quite tantalizing. I must warn you however, our relationship could never go beyond the physical. No offense to you of course, it's just not my way.

Watson: There's just one question I want to ask you about your past.
Sherlock: Excellent, you wait here and I'll go to my room, shut the door. Soon as you're absolutely certain I can't hear you, ask away.

Gregson: With all due respect Holmes, so what?
