It's Not The Words But How You Say Them
I think I need to list a few of my favorite quotes from Sherlock. So, here we go:
A Study In Pink
"Listen, I was wondering, maybe later..."
"Are you wearing lipstick? You weren't wearing lipstick before."
"I just refreshed it a bit."
"Sorry, you were saying?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to have coffee."
"Black, two sugars, I'll be upstairs."
"Okay!"
A bit later...
"Ah, Molly, coffee, thank you. What happened to the lipstick?"
"It wasn't working for me."
"Really? I thought it was a big improvement. Mouth is too small now!"
"Okay!"
"Sorry, I gotta dash, I think I left my riding crop in the mortuary."
"Brilliant! Four serial suicides and now a note! Ah! It's Christmas! Mrs. Hudson, I'll be late, might need some food!"
"I'm your landlady, dear, not your housekeeper."
"Something cold will do."
"That... was amazing."
"You think so?"
"Of course it was. It was extraordinary. Quite extraordinary."
"It's not what people normally say."
"What do people normally say?"
"Piss off!"
"What am I doing here?"
"Helping me make a point."
"I'm supposed to be helping you pay the rent!"
"Yeah, but this is more fun."
"Fun? There's a woman lying dead!"
"Perfectly sound analysis but I was hoping you'd go a little deeper."
"You know that you do that out loud?"
"Sorry, I'll shut up."
"No, it's... fine."
"That was the most ridiculous thing I've ever done!"
"And you invaded Afghanistan!"
"That wasn't just me."
"I'm in shock. Look, I've got a blanket!"
"We can't giggle, it's a crime scene!"
although, I have to admit that I actually like this one better in German: "Wir können doch hier nicht kichern, das ist ein Tatort!"
The other two episodes with my favorite quotes will follow.
But just in case I'll forget about it, here's what's possibly my all time favorite (apart from the shock!blanket one):
"Look, it doesn't matter to me who's prime minister or who's sleeping with who..."
"Or wether the earth goes round the sun."
"Oh no, not that again. It's not important!"
"Not important? It's primary school stuff! How can you not know this?"
"Well, if I ever did I deleted it."
"Deleted it?"
"Listen, this is my hard drive. And it only makes sense to put things in there that are useful. Really useful. Ordinary people fill their heads with all kinds of rubbish and that makes it hard to get to the stuff that really matters! Do you see?"
"But it's the solar system!"
"Oh hell! What does it matter? So we go round the sun or we go round the moon or round and round the garden like a teddy bear. It wouldn't make any difference! All that matters to me is the work. Without that my brain rots. Put that in your blog, or better still, stop inflicting your opinions on the world."
Bye for now!
