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.

 

'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.' - Eudoria Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

 

'It's remarkable what can be done when people underestimate you.' - Mira Troy (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

 

'All it takes is one small thing to change the rules of the world.' - Eudoria Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

 

'Strange how those seeking advice so often like to dispense it.' - Sherlock Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

 

'You will do very well on your own. But with others, you could be magnificent.' - Eudoria Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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?

 

'Find your allies. Work with them, and you will become more of who you are. You speak with one voice, and you will make more noise than you could ever have imagined.' - Eudoria Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

 

'No one should be alone all the time.' - Enola Holmes (Enola Holmes 2) Click To Tweet

 

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.

Sherlock Holmes: [to Enola] You came here running from the police. Someone is already dead, and you are now a suspect in a murder case. You’ve let your emotions get the better of you.


 

Sherlock Holmes: The first mistake a detective makes is to make it about themselves and not the case. Enola, I know you’re not a fan of unnecessary advice, but please, don’t turn into me.
Enola Holmes: I should probably write that down.


 

Enola Holmes: I cannot talk to you without a chaperone?
William Lyon: No, of course not.
Enola Holmes: Honestly? Honestly?


 

Enola Holmes: It could be claimed, with some justification, that I might have prepared more thoroughly. But dancing is not one of my core strengths.


 

Mira Troy: [to Enola] It’s just a performance. Everyone here is playing a part. Testing each other. Winning. Losing. And it’s fun, once you know the rules.


 

Enola Holmes: What are they doing with those fans?
Mira Troy: Sending messages. Saying everything that is forbidden, or too embarrassing to say aloud.
Enola Holmes: Thank you for the lesson.
Mira Troy: It’s a lesson hard learned. Without power, we women must rely on our wits for our fortune, because our chances are short.


 

Enola Holmes: Tewkesbury! Your timing’s impeccable!
Tewkesbury: Enola?
Enola Holmes: Don’t speak to me here, otherwise you’ll be thrown onto the street.


 

Enola Holmes: I need you to teach me to dance.
Tewkesbury: Teach you to dance? When?
Enola Holmes: Teach me to dance now.
Tewkesbury: You understand I’ve been learning since I was five?
Enola Holmes: Good. I’d feared you’d be a terrible teacher.


 

Tewkesbury: Enola, what are you doing here?
Enola Holmes: I’m looking for a murderer. Though I shouldn’t have told you. Forget I told you that. I’m trying to save a girl’s life.
Tewkesbury: Through dance?


 

Tewkesbury: [as he teaches her to dance] Hold your arm out. Good. Now, I will lead and you will follow.
Enola Holmes: That seems like a mistake.


 

Enola Holmes: You cannot be trusted to take care of yourself.
Tewkesbury: I’m a man now.
Enola Holmes: You’re a man when I tell you you’re a man.


 

Tewkesbury: [to Enola] Dancing is a trust, it’s a union.


 

Enola Holmes: [as she walks out of the bathroom] Don’t touch the ginger cake. It plays hopscotch with your bowels.


 

Enola Holmes: You are always here when I don’t want you to be.
Tewkesbury: And sometimes here when you do.


 

Grail: [after arresting Enola for Mae’s murder] Well, it only takes one little flame to start a fire, and my job is to keep crushing those bloody flames out.


 

Grail: [referring to Sarah] Where is she?
Enola Holmes: I don’t know.
Grail: Then you’re for the noose. Some detective you were. Should have stuck to needlework.


 

Edith: [to Sherlock] You’re lucky, I almost broke your legs. But then I recognized the shoulders. You have very recognizable shoulders.


 

Sherlock Holmes: [referring to Enola] What she’s got tangled with, it may go wider than I thought. And there’s something about this case that…
Edith: Deduction alone will not solve?


 

Sherlock Holmes: I need your help. We need your help.
Edith: Well, like my mother always said, “Those who can turn to others when they’re in need are the truly brave amongst us.”
Sherlock Holmes: Your mother sounds very different to mine.


 

Edith: You can’t control Enola Holmes. She’s a force of nature. A law unto herself.


 

Eudoria Holmes: Now, whatever Sarah’s hiding, Enola, it’s a secret. You need to look for what she knows, Enola. Find that out, and then everything else will follow. Well, she’s probably right under your nose.


 

Eudoria Holmes: [as Grail is shooting at them] Well, that’s just rude.


 

Eudoria Holmes: Good thing I never valued my pelvis. How about you, Edith? How are the kidneys?
Edith: Fine. I quite enjoyed it.
Eudoria Holmes: You enjoy everything. It’s most irritating.


 

Eudoria Holmes: You know, I sometimes think I brought you up to be too independent.
Enola Holmes: Mother!
Eudoria Holmes: I did it with all of you.


 

Eudoria Holmes: [flashback] Your purpose must be to find who you are.


 

Eudoria Holmes: [to Enola] You, Sherlock, Mycroft. Strong, formidable, individual children, but, well, perhaps a little lonely.


 

Eudoria Holmes: You will do very well on your own, Enola. But with others, you could be magnificent.


 

Eudoria Holmes: [to Enola] You find your allies. Work with them, and you will become more of who you are. You speak with one voice, and you will make more noise than you could ever have imagined.


 

Eudoria Holmes: So, you dust yourself down, keep facing forward. And if you ever get condemned for murder again, you give me a shout.
Enola Holmes: I will.


 

Enola Holmes: [to Tewkesbury] I need your help. Well, don’t make me repeat it! May I come in?


 

Enola Holmes: I have failed to see allies in plain sight.


 

Tewkesbury: [to Enola] All day, every day, all I do is compromise. If I vote for this lord’s bill that will allow him to pump bilge water into a lake, then he will vote for my forestry reform. I want to stand up and say, “This isn’t right.” But I have no allies. So to do so would be to risk all that is good. So I lie awake trying to work out which path to follow, alone. There is no search for a wife, because politics consumes me constantly. That is the speech I stored up for you.


 

Enola Holmes: You’re a good man.
Tewkesbury: I’m a man now?
Enola Holmes: On occasion. But I understand your struggle, because I struggle too.


 

Tewkesbury: [referring to helping find Sarah] Then what can we do?
Enola Holmes: We?


 

Tewkesbury: You’re still wanted by the police?
Enola Holmes: Of course. I escaped jail.
Tewkesbury: You escaped jail?
Enola Holmes: Forget I told you that.


 

Enola Holmes: I have missed everything. Sarah is Cicely. Cicely is Sarah!


 

Tewkesbury: Enola, did you understand what I said? Or rather what I didn’t say? Did you understand what I didn’t say?
Enola Holmes: Yes. You were saying that you… That message you sent me with the fan at the ball, what did it mean?
Tewkesbury: It means I love you.


 

Enola Holmes: I know we have much to talk of, my dear, dear lord. You love me. And as it turns out, I love you too.
Tewkesbury: You love me too?
Enola Holmes: You really are a nincompoop.


 

Enola Holmes: Shh. You’re walking loudly.
Tewkesbury: But it’s gravel.
Enola Holmes: You’ve got large feet.
Tewkesbury: I know.


 

Enola Holmes: Wait here. Keep guard. If anyone comes, just tell them you’re a lord or something.
Tewkesbury: I am a lord.
Enola Holmes: Then they’ll likely believe you.


 

Sherlock, Enola: You.
Enola Holmes: How ridiculous you are.
Sherlock Holmes: I’m ridiculous? I told you to stay safe and stay away. Now you’re breaking out of prison and you have the whole police force after you.


 

Sherlock Holmes: I wonder who taught you to fight like that. Another thing our mother has to answer for.
Enola Holmes: She should have fed me as well as you is what I think. Hang on. Why are you here? Is it my case, or your own?
Sherlock Holmes: Both.


 

Sherlock Holmes: You’re innocent.
Enola Holmes: You doubted it?
Sherlock Holmes: Nothing’s certain till it’s proved.


 

Tewkesbury: Just to be clear as to what we might be about to face.
Enola Holmes: There may be some violence. You’ve faced it before.
Tewkesbury: Yes. I did have part of a suit of armor on.


 

Tewkesbury: Can you teach me to fight?
Enola Holmes: What? Right now? In a carriage?
Tewkesbury: Did I not teach you to dance in five minutes in a bathroom?


 

Enola Holmes: There are two secrets to fighting. Avoid the punch, make the counterpunch.


 

Tewkesbury: [after Enola kisses him] I may need more of those lessons.


 

Enola Holmes: You’re a bloody good detective, Enola Holmes.
Sarah Chapman: You are too, Sarah Chapman.


 

Enola Holmes: [to Tewkesbury] You were made to fight.


 

Sherlock Holmes: The accounting was masterful. A tangle of roots, but all pointed to one pocket. One person receiving the fruits of their schemes with no one noticing.
Enola Holmes: Hearing everything, seeing everything. Ignored for years.
Sherlock Holmes: Playing them all.
Enola Holmes: It’s all a game.


 

Sherlock Holmes: Moriarty.
Mira Troy: Such a shame our divertissement has to end, Mr. Holmes. I was so enjoying it.


 

Charles McIntyre: How dare you take advantage of your position!
Mira Troy: I take advantage? What were my advantages? Treated like a common servant when I have twice the mind of yours. Any of yours. Why shouldn’t I have a share of your ill-begotten riches and punish you at the same time? Why shouldn’t I be rewarded for what I can do? Where is my place in this society? I am a woman. I cannot join clubs, I cannot own shares, I cannot advance myself as they can. So, I found my own way. And it was fun.


 

Mira Troy: [to Sherlock] Such a shame our little dance has to end. For now at least. Perhaps we shall take to the floor again.


 

Sarah Chapman: It’s time for us to use the only thing we have. Ourselves. It’s time for us to refuse to work. It’s time to tell them no.


 

Edith: [referring to Enola] She likes causing trouble, doesn’t she? It’s as if she was molded that way.
Eudoria Holmes: She still needs that haircut.


 

Sherlock Holmes: I was thinking, Holmes and Holmes? A partnership?
Enola Holmes: That is the kindest offer. But if I did that, I would always be in your shadow.
Sherlock Holmes: Yes.
Enola Holmes: Though I do like this new version of you. No one should be alone all the time. A friend would do you well.
Sherlock Holmes: Perhaps I should write that down.


 

Enola Holmes: Tewkesbury, when did I give you the impression that I like flowers?
Tewkesbury: They’re called Spreading Bellflowers. Wild, of course. Attracted to ancient woodland, wiry, deceptive, refuse to behave according to any rules. But their petals are so delicate, and their flowers…
Enola Holmes: Two things. Your metaphor is tortured, and I don’t have delicate petals.


 

Enola Holmes: I am not going to a ball with you. I got arrested at the last one.
Tewkesbury: Well, all the more reason to dance again, wouldn’t you say?
Enola Holmes: You’re a nincompoop.
Tewkesbury: And you are a coward.
Enola Holmes: How dare you speak to a lady like that? You are a disgrace, sir.
Tewkesbury: And yet you still hold my arm.
Enola Holmes: And yet I still hold your arm.


 

Dr. Watson: [mid-credits lines] You’re seeking a flatmate?
Sherlock Holmes: You must have the wrong address.
Dr. Watson: Really? The young lady was very clear as to the place and the time. “Thursday at 4:00,” she said. You are Sherlock Holmes?
Sherlock Holmes: Yes. Please, do come in, Mr…?
Dr. Watson: Doctor. Watson. John Watson.
