• Sherlock Holmes : Fatty, this is Watson. Watson, this is Fatty.

  Mycroft Holmes : Fatty?

  [pats his stomach] 

  Mycroft Holmes : I'd say I've slimmed down quite a bit, wouldn't you?

  Sherlock Holmes : Lap band?

  Mycroft Holmes : Exercise.

  Sherlock Holmes : Exercise requires energy and ambition, and you've never had either.

• Captain Thomas Gregson : Department's got six guys grinding this case, and you broke it open by following a bird?

  Sherlock Holmes : Mmm. Lost track of it now, though. It's a shame to see all that training go to waste.

  Detective Marcus Bell : What are you gonna do with a carrier pigeon? You know what, I don't want to know. Happy hunting.

• Dr. Joan Watson : You didn't tell me one of your brother's restaurants had two Michelin stars.

  Sherlock Holmes : Before yesterday, I didn't tell you my brother was a corporeal entity.

• Dr. Joan Watson : Hey, I was just about to call you. You okay?

  Sherlock Holmes : I believe I've just made a rapprochement with my brother.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Oh, that's great.

  Sherlock Holmes : He used a homemade explosive device to destroy what was left of my things.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Ah. Sounds like maybe he's a little more like you than you thought.

  Sherlock Holmes : Art in the blood, Watson. It takes the strangest forms.

• Sherlock Holmes : This is the weapon that I believe Pendry used to kill his wife: a plastic gun.

  Gareth Lestrade : [sarcastic]  You're absolutely right. I did see one of those, actually. It was in the cutlery drawer. I thought it was a toy, so I left it alone.

  [Holmes rolls his eyes] 

  Gareth Lestrade : You think I'm daft? What, you think I wouldn't recognize a plastic gun?

• [Mycroft and Sherlock sit outside a London storage unit where Mycroft has stored some of Sherlock's things] 

  Mycroft Holmes : The other night at dinner, I sought a little advice from Joan about how best to communicate with you.

  Sherlock Holmes : And why on earth would you want to do that?

  Mycroft Holmes : [takes out a remote detonator]  She said that when one has something to tell you, one must make really, really sure... that you're listening.

  [Mycroft turns the switch on the detonator; a muffled explosion blows open the door to the storage unit, scattering paper and debris everywhere] 

• [Sherlock Holmes and Joan Watson inveigle their way into the London home of Lawrence Pendry, whom Gareth Lestrade suspects of killing his wife, in part by Holmes claiming that Watson had been America's foremost expert on home security] 

  Dr. Joan Watson : You had to tell him that I was the number one home security expert? You couldn't have told him I was number eight or something?

  Sherlock Holmes : You acquitted yourself admirably. Anyway, it was time well spent.

  Dr. Joan Watson : You found something?

  Sherlock Holmes : Lestrade was right. Lawrence Pendry did kill his wife. I know exactly how he did it.

• Sherlock Holmes : I'm a different man now, Watson. It's a different city. London is always a different city.

  Mycroft Holmes : Charity shops.

  Mycroft Holmes : I reached out to you several times in New York to make arrangements. You never got back to me.

  Mycroft Holmes : They don't have phones in rehab?
