Sherlock

A real moving company will step foot in our brownstone over my mouldering body.

Sherlock

I mean ... it really comes down to just this, Mrs. Powell. What do you think you deserve?

Sherlock

I worried in the aftermath of trauma that you might be ... overadjusting. That moving back might not be the progression you believe it to be, but it might be a regression, a retreat into the safety of the known. I suppose I just wanted to be sure that I hadn't been too quick to encourage. That I haven't unwittingly cast myself in the role of an enabler.

Sherlock

Watson: Do you want me to live here or not?
Sherlock: I do. I have never wavered on that.

You don't understand. I'm saying what I need to do is commit myself to this work completely. The best place for me to do that is here. I want to come back to the brownstone.

Watson

Holmes: They failed to examine the zebra droppings.

Joan: I feel ... okay. I feel clear about something. Our work ... what we do ... it's not just a job now. It's who I am. I'm a detective. I'm ready to embrace that. I live in this world. Your world. And I probably will for the rest of my life.
Sherlock: It isn't my world. It's our world.

Bell: What am I missing?
Holmes: Everything that matters.

Imagine sitting for a portrait today. Hubris practically leaks off the canvas.
