Sherlock Holmes

The game is afoot. [In unison with Watson] Follow your spirit and upon this charge – Cry, God for Harry, England and Saint George!

My mind rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work. The sooner the better.

[At the end of the movie, when Holmes deciphers the true motive of the crime] There's nothing more elusive than an obvious fact.

[Final line] Case reopened.

Holmes: Nothing more elusive than an obvious fact.

Holmes: It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Inevitably, one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Holmes: Crime is common. Logic is rare.

Holmes: Data, data, data, I cannot make bricks without clay.

Holmes: The little details are by far the most important.

Holmes: You have the grand gift of silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.

Holmes: My mind rebels at stagnation; give me problems, give me work.

[To Blackwood] What a busy afterlife you're having.

[To Blackwood] The devil's due a soul, I'd say.

[As he and Watson are confronted by Dredger and two smaller thugs, Dredger asks him if he has any problem] Meat … or potatoes?

Ah … putrefaction.

My journey took me somewhat further down the rabbit-hole than I'd intended and, though I dirtied my fluffy white tail, I've emerged … enlightened.

[To Irene] I was simply studying your methods … should the authorities ask me to hunt you down.

[After he and Mary come upon Holmes, who appears to have hanged himself in his rooms] Don't worry, dear- suicide's not in his repertoire, he's far too fond of himself for that.

[About Irene] She was the only adversary who ever outsmarted you. Twice. Made a proper idiot out of you.

[With a goon in a stranglehold] Relax … I'm a doctor.
