Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

"[in need of a distraction to get the crowd out of the auction house.] One million pounds! [Everyone gasps and looks at him, mortified; the tapestry behind him promptly bursts into flames] Oh, and, uh, by the way, fire!"

"[ to Dr. Hoffmen-Stall ] Perhaps you have heard of me. My name is Sherlock H... [bomb explodes; coughing] H... Holmes!"

"[referring to his disguise, a great false beard] It's so overt it's covert."

"[as Watson is getting ready to shoot] Make it count!"

"[to Watson] Don't dance! You know what happens when you dance."

"[note to Watson] Come at once if convenient. If inconvenient, come all the same."

"If we can stop him, we shall prevent the collapse of Western civilization... No pressure."

"[dancing with Sim] Just follow my lead."

"[to Moriarty] Be careful what you fish for."

"Bishop to Bishop eight, discovered check and incidentally, mate."

"His advantage: my injury. My advantage: his rage."

"[throttling Holmes] Did you kill my wife?! Did-you-just-kill-my-wife?!"

"I'm on my honeymoon!"

"[to Holmes, performing CPR on him] I know you can hear me, you selfish bastard!"

"Your clock... is ticking."

"You see...hidden within the unconscious is an insatiable desire for conflict. So you're not fighting me...so much as you are the human condition. All I want is to own the bullets and the bandages. War, on an industrial scale, is inevitable. They'll do it themselves, within a few years. All I have to do...is wait."

"Let's not waste anymore of each other's time...we both know how this ends."

"Come now, did you think you are the only one who can play this game?"

"After we conclude our business here, I shall endeavor to find the most creative of endings for the good doctor and his wife."

"[aiming a sniper rifle at Watson] What are you playing at? [sees a cannon being aimed back at him] ...That's not fair."
