Best Quotes
Enola Holmes: [as the police are chasing her] Perhaps I should explain. My name is Enola Holmes. You may remember me. After solving my first case, I started a business. A detective agency. Open and ready for my first clients. I was going to join the pantheon of great Victorian detectives.
Enola Holmes: And best of all, I would be joining my brother. I would be his equal. A detective in my own right, worthy of the Holmes name. Or so I thought.
Client: [to Enola] Stone the crows, you’re young.
Enola Holmes: But my age is an advantage. I can go to places others can’t, explore where others won’t. And I can fight. I know jujitsu.
Client: But you’re a girl.
Client: Tell me.
Enola Holmes: Yes?
Client: Might your brother be free?
Enola Holmes: So, my brother. While I had not a single case, Sherlock has been drowning in them. Though his latest appears to be vexing him.
Enola Holmes: [as she recieves an invitation to a ball from Tewkesbury] Yes, and then there is him. Lord Tewkesbury, the champion of change and progress. A man to approach with the noblest cause. But I had no time for distractions. And besides, he’s still a nincompoop.
Tewkesbury: My lords, reform is not a task to be accomplished, nor a bill that can be passed. Rather it is a constant need for change.
'Too many people make it their sole purpose in life to fit into the world around them. This is a mistake. It's your path.' - Eudoria Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet
Eudoria Holmes: Too many people make it their sole purpose in life to fit into the world around them. This is a mistake. It’s your path, Enola. Sometimes, you’ll stumble. Sometimes, you’ll fall. But no matter how lost you feel, if you stay true to yourself, the path will always find you again.
Enola Holmes: But my path, it seemed, had come to an end. I was a failure. All I could do now was go home.
Mae: Who’s this, Bess?
Enola Holmes: Enola Holmes.
Bessie Chapman: She’s a detective.
Mae: She looks like she’ll blow over in the wind.
Enola Holmes: [referring to Sarah] Does she like reading?
Bessie Chapman: Oh, yes. She taught herself. Sarah said you had to learn about the world if you’re going to live in it.
Enola Holmes: At last, my first case. Well, actually, my second. I shall find you, Sarah Chapman. Whatever you’ve been up to, the game is afoot.

Enola Holmes: Everyone thinks detecting is a profession littered with rules, but in truth, there’s only one.
Eudoria Holmes: [flashback] Pull on every loose thread you find.
Enola Holmes: [as she’s following Mae] She’s a loose thread. So I’m pulling at her.
Mae: Posh girls like you don’t belong in this fight.
Enola Holmes: Posh or not, one thing I am good at is fighting. Now tell me, where is she hiding and what does she know?
Mae: You got more to you than I thought.
Stage Manager: You see, they all think there’s hope. That love is coming their way. But it never is. Blokes like that, they want cheap, but they marry dear.
Enola Holmes: [referring to Sarah] Why did she leave? Did she run away with this fellow? Or is she running from him? I hope it’s the latter. His poetry is extremely bad.

Enola Holmes: Sherlock?
Sherlock Holmes: Enola. What are you doing here? It’s not safe. There are scary people about.
Enola Holmes: Yes, let me know when you meet one.
Enola Holmes: As it turns out, my brother is medievally heavy. It’s like carrying a dead horse on which sits another dead horse.
Enola Holmes: I didn’t know you had steps.
Sherlock Holmes: One should always have steps to avoid people stepping on you. That’s a tip. You should probably write that down.
Sherlock Holmes: Now, shh. I’m thinking. One should never be interrupted when thinking. Oh. You should…
Enola Holmes: Write that down?
Enola Holmes: Maybe I can help.
Sherlock Holmes: You can help by leaving.
Enola Holmes: Huh. Yes. The world will be a much safer place if we don’t see the inside of Sherlock Holmes, only the out.

Sherlock Holmes: Strange how those seeking advice so often like to dispense it.
Enola Holmes: Did I ask for advice? I found you on the street, drunk, like a bewildered beast.
Sherlock Holmes: Are you involved in something dangerous? Because you are still my ward. If you need my help, my offer remains on the table. Don’t be so desperate to prove yourself, Enola.
Enola Holmes: I am not desperate. And I don’t need your or anyone’s help.
Enola Holmes: [as she takes the cake] But this I will have.
Enola Holmes: [referring to Sherlock] How dare he? How dare he lecture me? When he can’t even solve his own case, and he lives in a bed of flummoxing papers and bewildering mold. How dare he claim I’m desperate? It is not true. And this is not fair.
Tewkesbury: Are you well? You look…
Enola Holmes: I’m on a case. Undercover. Although, forget I told you that piece of information.

Tewkesbury: Well, Enola, if you need help…
Enola Holmes: I do not. However, should my problem become horticultural, I shall seek you out.
Tewkesbury: Right. Well, you know where to find me should a plant go missing.
Enola Holmes: [as Tewkesbury is walking away from her] Is he looking back?
Enola Holmes: [as she looks back] Oh, good. He isn’t.
Enola Holmes: The game has found its feet again. I will not lie. There is a certain satisfaction that you feel as a detective when your case comes closer to resolution. Like sewing a new skirt, which I don’t do, or teaching a dog to sit. You begin to glow with the acknowledgement of a job well done.

Grail: Her name?
Enola Holmes: Enola Holmes.
Lestrade: His sister. A detective too.
Grail: Good God, another one. Shouldn’t you be in finishing school?
Enola Holmes: Superintendent Grail, you can’t believe…
Grail: What can’t I believe, missy? That young ladies don’t have the hands for killing?

Sherlock Holmes: [as he finds Enola hiding in his office] Dare I ask.
Enola Holmes: [imitating Lestrade] “Perhaps you tell me yours and I’ll tell you mine.”
Sherlock Holmes: He’s a ninny. I needed to know what he had on you.

Sherlock Holmes: My theory is either bribery, extortion, or blackmail.
Sherlock Holmes: Every time I pull a thread, it loosens, and vanishes, and reappears somewhere else. He’s leading me a merry dance. It’s infuriating.
