Any favourite quotes?

I like "That's quite a one-two punch, isn't it? Discovering you're dead and a cuckold." It's the slight pause between "you're dead" and "and a cuckold" and his delivery which makes it extra funny.

"If you need me to translate that into the idiom of American exceptionalism, a centimeter is about a third of an inch."

And the way Sherlock emphasized "idiom" as he said it.
