Quotes 

• Dr. Joan Watson : We'd like your employee records and data.

  Eric Frazier : With all due respect, this has got a pretty broad reach. I'd like our lawyers to take a look at it first.

  Sherlock Holmes : Indeed. They might contest the invasion of privacy as being too ironic.

• [Sherlock Holmes struggles to explain to friend Agatha Spurrell why he won't help her have a baby] 

  Agatha Spurrell : It's ok, Sherlock. The things I said, I put too much pressure on you.

  Sherlock Holmes : You made some good points.

  Agatha Spurrell : Not enough to sway you, though.

  Sherlock Holmes : You're right. I am... remarkable. That's precisely why I can't help you.

  Agatha Spurrell : What does you being amazing have to do...

  Sherlock Holmes : No, no, no, I didn't say I was amazing, I said I was remarkable. The things that I do, the things that you care about, um... you think that I do them because I'm a good person. I do them because it would hurt too much not to.

  Agatha Spurrell : Because you're a good person.

  Sherlock Holmes : No, it hurts, Agatha.

  [points to the city] 

  Sherlock Holmes : All this. Everything I see, everything I hear, touch, smell; the conclusions that I'm able to draw; the things that are revealed to me; the ugliness. My work focuses me. It helps. You say that I'm using my gifts. I say I'm just treating them. So I cannot, in good conscience, pass any of that on. Sorry.

• Dr. Joan Watson : That's the sex blanket.

  Sherlock Holmes : I have asked you not to call it that.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Who is she, and what time is she coming over?

• Dr. Joan Watson : You want company?

  Sherlock Holmes : No thank you.

  Dr. Joan Watson : How about some ice cream? You know, it's stuff that people eat when they're feeling a little down.

  Sherlock Holmes : I have everything I need right here.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Okay.

  [she gets up and starts to leave] 

  Sherlock Holmes : Oh - what kind of ice cream?

  Dr. Joan Watson : I'll bring you a couple of choices.

• Eric Frazier : This is literally all the information we have on our users: where they are, where and when we pick them up, where and when we drop them off. That's it.

  Sherlock Holmes : That's it? You're describing your level of omniscience that's traditionally ascribed to God and Father Christmas.

• Sherlock Holmes : Agatha is not in love with me.

  Dr. Joan Watson : Oh, then what's the problem?

  Sherlock Holmes : She's asked for a donation.

  Dr. Joan Watson : What, to an environmental group?

  Sherlock Holmes : To her uterus. She has asked for my... issue.
