Henry Cavill credited as playing...
Sherlock Holmes
- Edith: You haven't any hope of understanding any of this. You do know that?
- Sherlock Holmes: Educate me as to why.
- Edith: Because you don't know what it is to be without power. Politics doesn't interest you. Why?
- Sherlock Holmes: Because it's fatally boring.
- Edith: Because you have no interest in changing a world that suits you so well.
- Sherlock Holmes: [as a police officer tries to stop him from walking through Scotland Yard] Don't be ridiculous.
- Enola Holmes: Why did you never write?
- Sherlock Holmes: Would you have cared for my letters?
- Enola Holmes: I have kept every clipping of every case of yours I could ever find.
- Sherlock Holmes: That's flattering.
- Enola Holmes: And, yet, it took our mother's disappearance to bring you home.
- Enola Holmes: She wouldn't like you in here. This is her private space.
- Sherlock Holmes: Tell me, she at least saw that you had an education? She valued education.
- Enola Holmes: She taught me herself. She made me read every book in Ferndell Hall's library. Shakespeare, Locke, and the encyclopedia, and Thackeray, and the essays of Mary Wollstonecraft. And I did it on my own account. For my own learning. Which, Mother said, was the best way to become a young... woman.
- Sherlock Holmes: You know, last I remember of you, you were quite a timid little thing. You had a pine cone wrapped in wool, dragged it with you everywhere you went - calling it Dash. Someone told you that Queen Victoria had a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Dash, and you decided you wanted the same. We could never persuade you to put any trousers on. Your bottom was always bare. I think that's all the memories I have.
- Enola Holmes: Thank you. If you could now forget them all.
- Sherlock Holmes: Now, please put the teapot down. In your hands it is a mighty weapon.
- [Edith puts the teapot on the table]
- Sherlock Holmes: Thank you.
- Enola Holmes: No! Please don't do this to me. Let me remain happy. I am happy here.
- Mycroft Holmes: You are a young woman now, Enola. You need an education.
- Enola Holmes: Test me on anything you think I need to know in order to be sufficient for this world.
- Mycroft Holmes: If she taught you so well you wouldn't be standing in your undergarments in front of me, would you? You have no hope of making a husband in your current state.
- Enola Holmes: I don't want a husband!
- Mycroft Holmes: And that is another thing you need to have educated out of you.
- [Enola kneels beside Sherlock]
- Enola Holmes: Sherlock. Don't let him do this to me.
- Sherlock Holmes: You are his ward.
- Enola Holmes: Make me yours. Guide me. Teach me. For him, I am a nuisance. For you...
- Sherlock Holmes: Enola. I'm sorry. It's out of my hands.
