John: "What do people normally say?"

Sherlock: "I know it's fine."
John: "So you have a boyfriend."
Sherlock: "No."
John: "Oh, okay. So you're unattatched then. Just like me. Fine, good."
Sherlock: "... John, erm... I think you should know that I consider myself married to my work, and while I'm flattered I'm not really looking for any-- "

1.03 "The Great Game"
Sherlock: "Just tell me what happened from the beginning."
Barry: "We've been to a bar, a nice place, and I was chattin' with one of the waitresses and Karen weren't happy with that, so we got back to the hotel and ended up having a bit of a ding dong, didn't we? She was gettin' at me, saying I weren’t a real man-- "
Sherlock: "Wasn’t."
Barry: "What?"
Sherlock: "It’s not weren’t, it’s wasn’t."
Barry: "Oh..."
Sherlock: "Go on."
Barry: "Well, then I don’t know how it happened but suddenly there's a knife in my hands. And you know, my old man was a butcher so I know how to handle knives. He learned us how to cut up a piece-- "
Sherlock: "Taught."
Barry: "What?"
Sherlock: "Taught you how to cut up a piece."
Barry: "Yeah, well, then I done it."
Sherlock: "Did it."
Barry: "I stabbed her over and over and over and I looked at her and she weren’t-- ... wasn't movin' no more. Any more."
Barry: "Hey, you gotta help me, Mr. Holmes! Everyone says you're the best. Without you... I'll get hung for this."
Sherlock: "No, no, Mr. Bewick, not at all. Hanged, yes."
John: "There's a head in the fridge. A bloody head!"
Sherlock: "Where else was I supposed to put it?"
John: "A severed head!"
Sherlock: "Just tea for me, thanks."
John: "What the hell are you doing?!"
Sherlock: "Bored."
John: "...what?"
Sherlock: "Bored!"
He shoots the wall.
Sherlock: "Bored!"
And again.
Sherlock: "Bored! I don't know what's gotten into the criminal classes, good job I'm not one of them."
John: "So you take it out on the wall?"
Sherlock: "Oh, the wall had it coming."
"Oh hell, what does it matter?! So we go round the sun - if we went round the moon or... round and round the garden like a teddy bear, it wouldn't make any difference."
-- Sherlock
Sherlock: "Look at that, Mrs. Hudson. Quiet, calm, peaceful... isn't it hateful?"
Mrs. Hudson: "Oh, I'm sure something will turn up, Sherlock. A nice murder, that'll cheer you up."
Sherlock: "You read his blog?"
Lestrade: "'Course I read his blog, we all do! Do you really not know that the earth goes around the sun?"
Lestrade: "But what's this got to do with that painting? I don't see-- "
Sherlock: "You do see, you just don't observe!"
John: "Alright! Alright, girls, calm down."
John: "Fantastic."
Sherlock: "Meretricious."
Lestrade: "And happy new year."
"Oh, so you meant spectacularly ignorant in a nice way."
-- Sherlock
John: "So why is he doing this then? Playing this game with you? Do you think he wants to be caught?"
Sherlock: "I think he wants to be distracted."
John: "Well, I hope you'll be very happy together."
Sherlock: "...sorry, what?"
John: "There are lives at stake, Sherlock! Actual human lives! Just so I know, do you care about that at all?"
Sherlock: "Would caring about them help to save them?"
John: "No."
Sherlock: "Then I'll continue not to make that mistake."
John: "And you find that easy, do you?"
Sherlock: "Yes, very. Is that news to you?"
John: "No... no."
Sherlock: "... I've disappointed you."
John: "It's good. It's a good deduction, yes."
Sherlock: "Don't make people into heroes, John: heroes don't exist, and if they did I wouldn't be one of them."
"Let him go or I will kill you."
-- John (to the Golem)
"Why does anyone do anything? Because I'm bored. We were made for each other, Sherlock."
-- Jim Moriarty (through victim #2)
Jim Moriarty: "I will burn the heart out of you."
Sherlock: "I have been reliably informed that I don't have one."
Jim Moriarty: "Oh, but we both know that's not quite true."
Sherlock: "People have died."
Jim Moriarty: "That's what people do!"
John: "You, ripping off my clothes in a darkened swimming pool. People might talk."
Sherlock: "People do little else."
OK, I may hae made quite alot bold but I was me holding back....

OK, I may hae made quite alot bold but I was me holding back....
The first girl to speak was Lexi. "Cillian... Murphy?!?!" she squeaked, looking ready to faint.
“Yeah.” He gave her a smile that made her actually pass out.
“Oh, hell.” Soph went to her friend's side, rolling her eyes.
“Sorry about my friend, Cillian, she's quite the fangirl.” Kay explained. Cillian laughed.
“Don't worry, I get it all the time.” Kay raised an eyebrow.
Just then, Scar ran back. “Got your stuff, Mr. Murphy.” she panted, looking quizzically at Kay, who smacked her head with her palm.
“Please, call me Cillian.” He sounded exasperated.
Lexi jumped up, ran over, and hugged Cillian. “Yay! She squealed. Cillian laughed and hugged her back.
Shut up, you lot, I know it's short. It'll be longer next time. LEXI, ARE YOU HAPPY?? YOU GOT TO HUG CILLIAN MURPHY!!!
“Yeah.” He gave her a smile that made her actually pass out.
“Oh, hell.” Soph went to her friend's side, rolling her eyes.
