Irene Adler: Why are you always so suspicious?
Sherlock Holmes: Should I answer chronologically or alphabetically?
Dr. Watson: Get that out of my face
Sherlock Holmes: It's not in your face, it's in my hand.
Dr. Watson: Get what's in your hand out of my face.
Sherlock Holmes: It's a matter of professional integrity! No girl wants to marry a doctor who can't tell if a man's dead or not!
Sherlock Holmes: Data, data, data. I cannot make bricks without clay.
Sherlock Holmes: Never theorize before you have data. Invariably, you end up twisting facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.
Sherlock Holmes: You have the grand gift of silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.
Sherlock Holmes: You've never complained about my methods before.
Dr. John Watson: I've never complained! When have I ever complained about you practising the violin at three in the morning, or your mess, your general lack of hygiene, your experiments on my dog, or the fact that you steal my clothes?
John Watson: Holmes... What is that?
Sherlock Holmes: Je ne sais pas.
Dr. John Watson: It's happening. Whether you like it or not,8:30, the Royale. Wear a jacket!
Sherlock Holmes: You wear a jacket.
Inspector Lestrade: In another life you'd have made an excellent criminal.
Sherlock Holmes: And you an excellent policeman.
Sherlock Holmes: My mind rebells at stagnation. Give me work. Give me problems.
Dr. John Watson: Holmes, does your depravity know no bounds?
Sherlock Holmes: No.
Answer: I believe that particular line was him making a joke to himself about the man's pride.
