You'd Lose

Professor Moriaty: "Are you sure you want to play this game?"
Sherlock Holmes: "I'm afraid you'd lose."

Professor James Moriarty becomes enemy number one in 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.' Unfortunately, Professor Moriarty is equally as intelligent as Sherlock Holmes. Not a good situation for Holmes, but it makes for an epic struggle (and a great movie) for everyone else!

Verging on Psychotic

Dr. Watson: "You do seem..."
Sherlock Holmes: "Excited?"
Dr. Watson: "Manic."
Sherlock Holmes: "I am."
Dr. Watson: "Verging on..."
Sherlock Holmes: "Eclectic?"
Dr. Watson: "Psychotic. I should have brought you a sedative."

Oh Dr. Watson, when will you ever learn? Holmes is insane, yes, and no one would blame you if you wanted to drug him into oblivion - but then, how would you solve all your cases? The "bromance" between Watson and Holmes was one of the best things about the 2009 movie to me, and it looks as if it will continue in 'A Game of Shadows.'

Missed You, Holmes

Dr. John Watson: "Oh, how I've missed you, Holmes."
Sherlock Holmes: "Have you? Why...I've barely noticed your absence."

Pretty safe to assume that Dr. Watson is kidding about missing Holmes, but maybe not: Holmes definitely makes his buttoned-up, by-the-book life much more interesting (and dangerous). Holmes probably hasn't noticed his absence at all - he's been busy with his research, designing his own "urban camouflage."

Most Important Case

Sherlock Holmes: "I'm knee-deep in the single most important case of my career."

Aren't all of Sherlock Holmes' cases the most important of his career? To be fair, this is definitely a challenge. Professor Moriarty has no qualms about destroying the world. Solving this puzzle will take all of Holmes' (and Watson's) best efforts.

Not My Best Look

Sherlock Holmes: "I agree it's not my best disguise, but I had to make due."

Really, it wouldn't be a 'Sherlock Holmes' movie without Robert Downey Jr. dressing in drag and wielding firearms, now would it?

Out of My Face

Sherlock Holmes: "Get that out of my face."
Dr. Watson: "It's not in your face, it's in my hand."
Sherlock Holmes: "Get what's in your hand out of my face."

Clever exchanges between Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson make for entertaining quotes in 'Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows.' Watson continually seems put off by Holmes' antics, but deep down, he really adores him. Way, way deep down.

Are You Happy?

Sherlock Holmes: "Are you happy?"
Dr. Watson: "What?"
Sherlock Holmes: "At this moment. Are you as happy as you'd be on your honeymoon in Brighton?"
Dr. Watson: "I'm not going to grace that question with an answer."

Poor Watson. He and Mary were just heading off on their big honeymoon (after finally getting married without drama, intrigue and danger) - now he's off on yet another harrowing, kooky adventure with Sherlock Holmes (who has the audacity to think his company is as much fun as Watson's honeymoon would be). The more things change...

My Curse

Sim: "What do you see?"
Sherlock Holmes: "Everything. That is my curse."

Ever wonder why Sherlock Holmes is so...eccentric? Try being able to assess, in an instant, every single thing about a situation - all of the possibilities, all of the dangers. That would make any sane man crazy.

Embalming Fluid Cocktail

Dr. Watson: ""You're drinking embalming fluid?"
Sherlock Holmes: ""Yes. Care for a drop?""

Only Sherlock Holmes would consider embalming fluid to be a nice, evening cocktail.

If Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson can't stop the evil Professor Moriarty, history will be forever altered.
