Quotes 

• Sherlock Holmes : [to Watson regarding Andrew]  I like him. He's intelligent. He hasn't just jumped into a new business. He has the patience and self-possession to wait for something worthwhile. *And*, most importantly, he understands you. He understands you and me.

  Dr. Joan Watson : What do you mean by that?

  Sherlock Holmes : I mean, Watson, that whether you care to admit it lately or not, I am an important part of your life. And whether I say it out loud or not, you are an important part of mine. My return to New York was driven in large part by a desire to repair our relationship. And I think, even though we might draw further or nearer from each other, depending on circumstance, you and I are bound. Somehow. Andrew accepts that without feeling needlessly threatened. It's a rather enlightened position. And so, no, I've got no desire to banish the man to Scandi-bloody-navia.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Okay, I believe you. Kinda feel like hugging you right now.

  Sherlock Holmes : Yet, as my friend, you know that would be a rash decision.

• Dr. Joan Watson : [knocks on the window, then loudly to Sherlock]  You're not planning to destroy the computer, are you?

  Sherlock Holmes : No, I'm not planning to destroy the bloody computer!

  Dr. Joan Watson : [to Kitty]  Just ride it out. If he starts hitting things, use the fire extinguisher on him.

• Dr. Joan Watson : You said you didn't set Andrew up with your friend from Denmark. I want to believe you.

  Sherlock Holmes : Well, I encourage you to do just that then.

• [Last lines] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Bella, one member of a murderous conspiracy is in jail. The second walks free. The cost of catching him is incarcerating his brother for unrelated crimes... crimes for which I, of all people, should have some understanding. Is it right to let the second murderer walk free?

  Bella : [proving that Bella, after all, is not intelligent and this case needs more evidence]  I don't understand the question. Can I have more information?

• Sherlock Holmes : Feel free if you'd like to take a moment to admire the beauty of this theory, 'cause I've done so several times already myself.
