Compilation of Adlock Quotes
(2011-2017) An updated edition of the Reference Handbook for Adlockers âş
In the end, are you really so obvious? Because this was textbook. The promise of love, the pain of loss, the joy of redemption. Then give him a puzzle, and watch him dance. (Mycroft Holmes, 2012)
Heâs writing sad music. Doesnât eat. Barely talks â only to correct the television. Iâd say he was heartbroken. (John Watson, 2012)
In the time Iâve known him, Iâve never seen him take the slightest interest in a woman but this one⌠Sheâs got to him. [âŚ] Irene Adler. Sheâs gone and he wonât dare admit it but heâs devastated. He canât show it and I donât think he understands what heâs feeling. [âŚ] Maybe his experiences with Irene Adler, had humanised him? (Dr John Watsonâs Blog, 2012)
Watson thinks itâd be healthier for Sherlock to have a relationship with a human being, as opposed to a book or theory. But Holmes falls in love with someone whoâs as insane as him. (Martin Freeman, 2011)
Holmes faces one of his deadliest enemies in the shape of love, and it comes in the form of Irene Adler, whoâs this extraordinary dominatrix, this incredibly daring professional woman whoâs utterly independent, fiercely smart, and very resourceful. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2012)
It falls in the vein of you know, classical English romances in a way: the repression of emotion, the idea that itâs there but itâs not. It doesnât have to be spoken. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2011)
What is painfully romantic â like in all the best love stories â is whatâs left unspoken. Is there a sexual element to it? Without a doubt there is. But as you see itâs a game of chess, and itâs a very cruel, cruel game of love. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2012)
Love gets in the way for him. Passion, attraction, it just causes him to malfunction. (Steven Moffat, 2012)
Sherlock Holmes, again, must have sexual impulses because human beings tend to â most human beings, not absolutely all, but thatâs the majority. The fact is, he decides to put all that in an iron box to make his brain work better. Of course, the fact that that iron box bounces around and shakes and bangs from the inside is what makes the story interesting. He wants to rise above us like a snow-capped mountain, but heâs actually a volcano, and thatâs where the story is. Thatâs where the story is. You know, you shove Irene Adler in front of him, and he just falls apart like most men would. (Steven Moffat, 2014)
I think Sherlock is infatuated to the point that he can barely function around Irene Adler. And Irene Adler isnât initially fascinated by him and then falls for him completely, thinks, âThereâs another person in the world as damaged as I am, how brilliant.â (Steven Moffat, 2012)
And basically, it was so that Benedict could take her along with him and they share this â I guess itâs a part of the â kind of the love story, if you like. (Paul McGuigan, 2012)
I think itâs interesting from the performances, particularly in the âWomanâ episode, that thereâs a sense â listening to Mrs. Hudsonâs reaction and to Johnâs reaction â that the piece for Irene is sort of more romantic probably than theyâve heard Sherlock play before, which is why they all sort of go, âOoh ah. Youâre writing a piece for her.â (Michael Price, 2014)
30 minutes of a case, with the rest of it being Sherlock grappling with a teenage crush. (Steven Moffat, 2016)
Theyâre clearly absolutely made for each other. (Mark Gatiss, 2012)
He suddenly meets someone who fascinates him. Holmes and Adler have an intellectual attraction. He doesnât understand it. Itâs like falling in love, but he doesnât know what it is. (Mark Gatiss, 2014)
Itâs just a label, isnât it? Because, at the end of the day, I think she had feelings for Sherlock. So then people say, âWell, so sheâs obviously not gay. She must be bisexual.â But actually, letâs not label this. Letâs just know that human beings fall for other human beings. (Lara Pulver, 2012)
Heâs highly intelligent and highly analytical to mask a certain aspect of his personality. Â But, they see each other for who they really are. Itâs a constant game. Â Itâs like the best game of tennis that you could ever wish for, with two characters. (Lara Pulver, 2012)
I do love that the only moment he verbally stumbles, and I sort of did it deliberately, was because he sensed a bit of competition in Watson starting to turn on the charm. And in trying desperately to get in there to impress her he went buhbuhbuhbuh and itâs very funny. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2012)
I think he just shuts down for a moment, doesnât he? Says, âIâm trying to process this, I have no response, oh my God, whereâs all the blood gone from my brain?â (Steven Moffat, 2012)
Heâs always going to love thinking about this. That amazing woman. (Steven Moffat, 2012)
[Q: So Irene then. Did Sherlock truly love her? Or was she merely the catalyst for him discovering his heart and/or emotions?]Â Oh what does it MEAN when a boy hacks up terrorists for you with a great big sword? Sheâs one of the few people on Earth he cares about, whatever that means in his case. Fascinated by her. Thrilled by her. And for a moment, when he saw her, he thought maybe, just maybe, thereâs somebody else like me. What else is going on, the great man has not confided in his biographers. (Steven Moffat, 2012)
And as for Irene Adler? Well you say he was beaten by her. But do you know what they got up to in Islamabad, because I do. There was no beating. It was all very loving. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2012)
They had a night. Irene Adler and Sherlock had a night. Iâm absolutely certain of that. Deal with me. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2015)
He shagged Irene Adler. They definitely got it on that night they had together when he rescued her from a beheading. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2014)
Yeah I think they were definitely at it after he rescued her from the beheading in Pakistan. Iâm sure they were. Iâm convinced of that. I think heâs been burnt in the past. I think he also realises he canât beat female intuition. He can read women if heâs not attracted to them or involved with them, and he knows that heâll get very confused if heâs starting to feel something for someone. So to embroil himself where he might be enslaved through adoration or sexual desire or any kind of power or chemistry to do with love is too big a risk for him, for what he wants to achieve. That doesnât make him gay, and it doesnât make him asexual; it means, you know, heâs purposely abstaining for the sake of his craft. Not something I do. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2014)
Oh the posh boy loves the dominatrix, heâs never knowingly under-clichĂŠd, is he? (John Watson via Mary Watson, 2017)
Sheâs out there, she likes you, and sheâs alive! And do you have the first idea how lucky you are?! Yes sheâs a lunatic, sheâs a criminal, sheâs insanely dangerous. Trust you to fall for a sociopath! (John Watson, 2017)
People text. Even I text. Her, I mean. Woman. Bad idea. Try not to, but you know, sometimes.. (Sherlock Holmes, 2017)
He has moved from being someone who was sociopathic, work-obsessed and slightly amoral, into being someone who has a certain degree of a private life, which is very, very private, with The Woman, or Irene Adler. (Benedict Cumberbatch, 2016)
He has The Woman in his life. Irene Adler is always his touchstone, I guess. If anything who would claim him, it would be her. (Amanda Abbington, 2014)
And if you paid attention youâd have known theyâve remained slightly in touch because thereâs a rose â when heâs injured â thereâs a single rose in the room. If you think about it, he saves her life, they must have escaped together, obviously thereâs some form of contact. (Steven Moffat, 2017)
If Sherlock was normal he would settle down with Irene, buy a house and a Volvo. (Steven Moffat, 2016)
Maybe every second Wednesday of every month, she sends Sherlock a cryptic clue and they meet in a hotel. [âŚ] They both smile once a day when they think about each other. (Steven Moffat, 2015)
