Excerpt of the Day: Sherlock S02E01 (A Scandal in Belgravia)
(Spoilers!)
After what seems like years waiting for the continuation of Sherlock's pool scene cliffhanger, we are finally presented with the second season pilot: "A Scandal in Belgravia." A fitting beginning for the year, and very worth the wait.
There are too many juicy scenes worth excerpting that I had trouble choosing which ones to do first. I ended up with two of the most kilig slashable Holmes/Watson scenes. Amazingly, none of the two even has Sherlock on it!
The first is John on a date with some girl (haha!):
Look at all that damask! ♥
John: I am really sorry.
Jeanette: You know, my friends are so wrong about you. You're a GREAT boyfriend.
John: Mmm.. okay, that's good. I mean, I always thought I was great --
Jeanette: And Sherlock Holmes is a VERY LUCKY MAN.
John: Ohhh... Jeanette please.
Jeanette: No! I mean it! It's heartwarming! You'll do anything for him. And he can't even tell your girlfriends apart.
John: No, no. I'll do anything for you. Just tell me what it is I'm not doing. Tell me!
Jeanette: DON'T MAKE ME COMPETE WITH SHERLOCK HOLMES!
John: I'll walk your dog for you. I'll say it now, I'll even walk--
Jeanette: I don't have a dog!
John: Ah. Of course, that was, the last one. Okay...
Jeanette: Jesus!
John: I'll call you.
Jeanette: No!
John: Okay.

The next one is John with Irene Adler:
Irene: What do I say?
John: What do you normally say? You've texted him a lot!
Irene: Just the usual stuff.
John: There is no usual in this case.
Irene: "Good morning." "I like your funny hat." "I'm sad tonight, let's have dinner." "You look sexy on Crime Watch, let's have dinner." "I'm not hungry, let's have dinner."
John: You flirted... with Sherlock Holmes.
Irene: AT him. He never replies.
John: Sherlock always replies to everything. He's Mr. Punchline. He will outlive God trying to have the last word.
Irene: Does that make me special?
John: I don't know. Maybe.
Irene: You're jealous?
John: We're not a couple.
Irene: Yes, you are... There... "I'm not dead. Let's have dinner."
John: Who... who the hell knows about Sherlock Holmes, but for the record, anyone out there who still cares, I'm not actually gay.
Irene: Well I AM. Look at us both.
