Julian Assange: I've heard people say I dangle on the autistic spectrum. Probably why I lean so heavily on those around me.
Quotes from Benedict Cumberbatch movies and TV shows - page 2 of 3
Julian Assange: Man is least himself when he talks with his own person. But if you give him a mask, he will tell you the truth. Two people, and a secret: the beginning of all conspiracies. More people, and, more secrets. But if we could find one moral man, one whistle-blower. Someone willing to expose those secrets, that man can topple the most powerful and most repressive of regimes.
Grinch: Christmas already? Ugh.
Grinch: Look at those greedy little gift monsters.

Grinch: It's go time.
Smaug: There is something about you. Something you carry, something made of gold. But far more PRECIOUS...
Classified: Short Fuse, you were supposed to handcuff them to the raft.
Short Fuse: I tried, but they don't have hands, they just have flippers, Boss! And I have flippers. So it's flipping useless.
Peter Gordon: Did Bronco Henry teach you to ride, Phil?
Phil Burbank: Yep. He taught me to use my eyes in ways that other people can't. Take that hill over there. Most people look at it and just see a hill. Where Bronco looked at it, what do you suppose he saw?
Peter Gordon: A barking dog.
Phil Burbank: The hell, you just saw that now?
Peter Gordon: No. When I first came here. See, it looks like a dog with its jaw wide open.
Phil Burbank: You... you just saw that?
Peter Gordon: Yeah.
George Burbank: Did you write to the old lady?
Phil Burbank: Yeah, I dropped them both a line.
George Burbank: Did you say something about Rose?
Phil Burbank: Rose. Yeah well, you and I know what the old lady would feel if she thought you were getting mixed up with her. She'd likely have a haemorrhage.
George Burbank: The old lady would feel as one Mrs Burbank would for another Mrs Burbank.
Phil Burbank: Come again?
George Burbank: We were married Sunday. She got rid of her property in Beech.
Phil Burbank: Where is the boy?
Jock: How come you don't wear gloves?
Phil Burbank: How 'bout 'cause they're not needed... Castrate fifteen hundred head, then nick your thumb on the last.
Peter Gordon: How old were you when you met Bronco Henry?
Phil Burbank: About the age you are now.
Peter Gordon: Was he your best friend?
Phil Burbank: Yeah... he was. He was more than that. Once, he saved my life. We were way off up in the hills shooting elk, and the weather turned mean. Bronco kept me alive by... lying body against body in a bedroll. Fell off to sleep that way.
Peter Gordon: Naked?
Phil Burbank: Bronco Henry told me that a man was made by patience in the odds against him.
Rose Gordon: Well, brother Phil, we had such a nice trip.
Phil Burbank: I'm not your brother. You're a cheap schemer.
George Burbank: What you said about her boy tonight, Phil. It made her cry.
Phil Burbank: She had her ear to the door?
George Burbank: She was crying, Phil.
Phil Burbank: Well, hell. The boy had to snap out of it and get human. Just pointed it out, is all. She should damn well know.

Sherlock Holmes: Punch me in the face.
John Watson: Punch you?
Sherlock Holmes: Yes, punch me in the face. Didn't you hear me?
John Watson: I always hear "punch me in the face" when you're speaking, but it's usually subtext.

Sherlock Holmes: A friend?
John Watson: An enemy.
Sherlock Holmes: Oh. Which one?
John Watson: Your arch-enemy, according to him. Do people have arch-enemies?

John Watson: Yes.
Sherlock Holmes: Did you take it?
John Watson: No...
Sherlock Holmes: Pity, we could have split the fee. Think it through next time.
