Sherlock: Gaming the insurance industry is what marriage is for, right?

Kitty: I suppose it's interesting that an American President had an affair with a Chinese opera singer but is it startling?
Sherlock: It might be to the two men's families.

Sherlock: You went out for groceries at five in the morning?
Kitty: Archie's ready to try solids. All you had in the fridge was Bismarck herring.
Sherlock: That'll put hairs on his chest.

Garber: I'm guessing you played soccer.
Kitty: I think you mean football.
Sherlock: Yes, because Miss Winter's foot devastated your testicles. Very funny, yes.

Nanny: I think this [doll] is dead.
Kitty: Actually, they're all dead. Sherlock uses them to recreate crime scenes. This one Archie's playing with drowned in the bathtub and this one in the kitchen died of arsenic. That mess on the floor is doll vomit.

Sherlock: You look at the iron maiden and think, "How awful." Mr. Risher looked at it and probably thought, "If only I could find the matching Judas cradle." It's a pyramid of iron set atop a stool. The victim is disrobed and then lowered via harness until-
Joan: We got it.
Marcus: Don't look at me. I've been to your place. I'm surprised you guys don't have one of these.

Joan: He even included an old picture of himself playing Go Fish with his grandfather.
Sherlock: It hardly seems fair, a legendary card shark against a doltish child.

Sherlock: Who or what is Scrooge McDuck?

Joan: Picture your father...as a duck.

My favorite lines too, but I prefer it with the addition of the preceding and following lines:

   Marcus: He did the job last night, came home with just under 200 grand.
                Then he went all Scrooge McDuck on his bed. 

   Sherlock: Who or what is Scrooge McDuck?

   Joan: Picture your father...as a duck. 
            He liked to roll around in his money.
