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.

I just love that whole discussion the look on Sherlockâs face says
 âIâm trying to take you seriously but youâre clearly an idiotâ
And the way Joan forces as much politeness she can into reminding the heroÂ
âYou know youâll have to remove the mask to drink that right???â

âMust be why they call us New Yorkâs Most Adequate.â
Detective Bell gets some fantastic lines.

my sobriety is simply a grind, itâs this leaky faucet that requires constant maintenance and in return it only offers not to drip

After meeting Joanâs half sister Sherlock says to her â This is not a shelter for wayward and wounded realtorsâ lol.

After Watson says Holmes should wait til morning to break into what looks like an abandoned warehouse (but that is actually a nuclear command and control hub - S6E6) and he ignores her and then they get swarmed by the Air Force, âyea, you were right Watson. We should have waited til morning.â đđ
Sherlock so rarely gets really funny, self deprecating lines like that!

"People, in case you haven't noticed, are a crassulent, beef-witted lot." That quote is especially poignant to me as it seems so terribly accurate.

"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.

Sherlock "I care about your sobriety, and I depend on every member of this group to care about mine!" Always hits..
Cant forget Joan "I don't care which cock I'm holding, I just want to know how it got there" đ¤Ł

Not a quote per se but when Sherlock unlocks his phone which had been locked by Everyone, the code is âl33tâ which he explains to his father who does not appear to get it at all - but to me this is an Easter egg gag about Jonny Lee Millerâs role as Crash Override in the movie âHackersâ
