Sherlock
Moriarty: Couldn’t cope with an unfinished melody. Moriarty: You need me, or you’re nothing. Because we’re just alike, you and I. Except you’re boring. You’re on the side of the angels. Holmes: How are you going to do it? “Burn me”? Moriarty: How hard do you find it? Having to say, “I don’t know.”? Holmes: Why are you doing all of this? Lui.
Holmes: Neither can you, that’s why you’ve come.
Moriarty: But be honest. You’re just a tiny bit pleased.
Holmes: What, with the verdict?
Moriarty: With me. Back on the streets. Every fairy tale needs a good old fashioned villain.
Holmes: Got to the jury of course.
Moriarty: Got into the Tower of London. You think I can’t worm my way into twelve hotel rooms?
Moriarty: Oh that’s the problem. The Final Problem. Have you worked out what it is yet? What’s thefinal problem? I did tell you. But did you listen?
Holmes: I don’t know.
Moriarty: Oh that’s clever. That’s very clever. […] Speaking of clever, have you told your little friends yet?
Holmes: Told them what?
Moriarty: Why I broke into all those places and never took anything.
Holmes: No.
Moriarty: But you understand.
Holmes: Obviously.
Moriarty: Off you go then.
Holmes: You want me to tell you what you already know.
Moriarty: No, I want you to prove that you know it.
Holmes: You didn’t take anything because you don’t need to.
Moriarty: Good.
Holmes: You’ll never need to take anything ever again.
Moriarty: Very good. Because…
Holmes: Because nothing. Nothing in the Bank of England, the Tower of London or Pentonville Prison could possibly match the value of the key that could get you in to all three.
Moriarty: I can open any door anywhere with a few tiny lines of computer code. No such thing as a private bank account now, they’re all mine. No such thing as secrecy. I own secrecy. Nuclear codes. I could blow up NATO in alphabetical order. In a world of locked rooms, the man with thekey is king and honey, you should see me in a crown.
Holmes: You were advertising all the way through the trial. You were showing the world what you can do.
Moriarty: And you were helping. Big client list. Rogue governments. Intelligence communities. Terror cells. They all want me. Suddenly, I’m Mr. Sex.
Holmes: You could break any bank. But you care about the highest bidder.
Moriarty: I don’t. I just like to watch them all competing. “Daddy loves me the best!” Aren’t ordinary people adorable? Well you know. You’ve got John. I should get myself a live-in one.
Moriarty: It would be so funny.
Holmes: You don’t want money or power, not really. What is it all for?
Moriarty: I want to solve the problem. Our problem. The Final Problem. It’s going to start very soon, Sherlock. The fall. But don’t be scared. Falling’s just like flying except there’s a more permanent destination.
Holmes: Never liked riddles.
Moriarty: Learn to. Because I owe you a fall, Sherlock. I. O. U.
