Sherlock Holmes Scene "The lady insists"

[@phongtran7574]

I'm not sure if this was pointed out already, but it's pretty cool how Holmes foresaw the discussion ending early as it seems he ordered his food well in advance.

[@kaczynskis5721]

He moved events in that direction, to the extent he could...

[@christophertadeo6120]

As per the overall plan...

[@christophertadeo6120]

U don't want your dinner sullied by wine splashed on your face, he ordered it in advance and to be brought to him after they left...as per the overall plan all along...

[@saimcheeda93]

He engineered the whole conversation to end the way it did. So rather than foreseeing, he was responsible for how it happened

[@finmat95]

PLOT TWIST.

[@swish007]

"What do you see?" "Everything. That.. Is my curse"

[@muhammadaliareehamad2094]

This reading technique is called cold reading usually used by mentalist

[@dhavalp22]

Starting scene , cursed ...)

[@dhavalp22]

He sees everything , thats why that's his curse

[@spholmes1341]

I hate that movies and TV shows portray him as if he magically sees everything he needs to see, like a wizard, when in the books, Holmes works his arse off for the skills he possesses. He did tons of researches and experiments, trained himself observation and deductions for years before he became the great detective Watson knew and adored.

[@lelasmit1829]

He’s autistic

[@rochellealansmithee7966]

I like the cinematography of the first 30 seconds. It underlines why sherlock doesn't enjoy public places and crowds.

[@00bean00]

Too much information! (for him)

[@JamNaco]

That‘s how i feel when i‘m trying to sleep and there is any noise ... :D

[@DiagonalByte]

It's the clip I play when I try to explain my condition (Aspergers). It perfectly summarizes the social aspects of it.

[@douglasjordan5653]

Total aspergers moment ....trust me I know

[@soulofcinder518]

This describes what i feel when im out if my room and dont have headphones perfectky

[@stevekaczynski3793]

Besides trying to give the impression Mary is a golddigger, Holmes also tries to "unsell" Watson to Mary by suggesting he is a gambler and has "cost us the rent more than once". He really does not want this relationship to develop.

[@AKumar-jac]

Exactly!! you have actually read the novels unlike many out here... In stories John mentions how he had to restrain his emotions for her until the very end, after sherlock failed to restore the box with it's precious contents..

[@louvainegobel3340]

Good point

[@dalehardges5456]

They could've gotten someone to play Mary her face just looks weird!!

[@danielpauley9113]

No 💩 Sherlock 😜

[@wolfgang-franzkranek6146]

The lady insisted.

[@vivi44]

Holmes planned it all. That's why just as Watson left his dinner arrived.

[@jimmoriarty6964]

sneaky bastard!

[@FablesOutofSpace]

+vivi44 holly shit I didnt realized that.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

Could be. They have wine but no meal is on the table. Then Mary throws the wine, they depart and suddenly Sherlock gets served his meal (roast beef?). Did he order his meal for one even before he took his seat? He may even have calculated it all in advance as carefully as a chess move in a game with Moriarty.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

In fact the way he stares at his watch at the start almost looks as though he is calculating how much time he has to provoke a bust-up with Watson's intended before he gets his meal for one. I do think Holmes is very calculating in this scene. It is true that she asked him to "read" her but if she had not I think Holmes would have concentrated more on the "watch out, dearie, Watson is not a real find" angle he was pushing in the earlier part of the scene.

[@harmonlanager2670]

The real reason he insulted her was because he wanted them to leave before they would find out he already ordered instead of waiting for them. Lol

[@davedanmodesto904]

*EDIT*: To shut down everyone who keeps on saying lyrics because I typed this up a few years ago now and at the time I couldn’t think of the word ‘Subtitles’ for some reason, and lyrics was the only word to come to mind, I have decided to change it so I apologise for that mistake and thank you for all the likes. XD In case if anyone's wondered, Subtitles for Sherlock speaking to Mary: 2:18 - 3:15 "You're a Governess." "Well done." "Yes, well done.. Shall we. Waiter!" "Your student.Its a boy of eight." "Charlie is seven actually." "And he's tall for his age. He flicked you with ink today." "Is there ink on my face?" "There is nothing wrong with your face." "There are two drops on your ear in fact." “Indie blue is nearly impossible to wash off." "Anyway, very. impetuous act of that boy, but you're too experienced to act rashly which is why, The lady whom you work lent you that necklace." “Pearls. Diamonds. Flawless rubies. Hardly gems of a Governess. However. The jewels you are not wearing tells us rather more." "Holmes!" "You were engaged. The ring has gone, but the lightness of the skin where it once sat suggests that you spent some time abroad, wearing it proudly, .that is, until you were informed of its true and rather modest worth, and then you broke of the engagement and returned to, England for better prospects.." *Pause* "A doctor perhaps?" *Throws wine in Sherlocks face* You're welcome. :D

[@Druid_]

Thanks, hard to understand what he's saying.

[@DuBstep115]

Ruby not rubies. one big red

[@StrikerEureka85]

you're a goddamn hero

[@livinindubai]

So because there were 2 drop of ink on her ear; Holmes figured out she was a teacher of a 7-8 year old?

[@adama9300]

David Modesto thx mate

[@jomoody798]

it's very telling how Holmes gets to focus himself and stops hearing all the voices and noises in the restaurant when Watson calls his name

[@zziqinn3023]

Those days are behind. Right behind you lolololol

[@kristonparris4045]

"Well done Old Boy." That line gets me every time.

[@jose6183]

Wasn't it "Well done old bud"?...bud as in from buddy. I'm not from an anglosaxon culture, so I have no idea.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

I'm surprised he wasn't angry. Then again, he knows Holmes and can hardly be surprised he acted like that.

[@RedShockInc]

How i loved that scene, one of the best scenes between Watson and Sherly

[@friedburner6075]

i always love this scene ... in this scene we can see that even Sherlock Holmes is really good at deduction ... he can still make a wrong assumption ...

[@davidfuentes2862]

Its more like he let his dislike for her cludge his judgmentp

[@MorbiusBlueBalls]

he tried to portray her as bad as possible with the little information he had. he wasn't trying to deduct anything, he just wanted to end the relationship

[@ShyguyMM]

People in these comments don't get why she was upset. "She asked for it and he gave it to her! Why is she upset?" It's because Sherlock Holmes is normally very good at the whole induction thing, but this time he let his emotions cloud his judgement. He willfully chose to interpret the information in the worst possible way (that she's a gold-digger) simply because he doesn't like her because she's marrying Watson. It was actually incredibly insulting and disingenuous. And of course because her previous fiance DIED, it was very hurtful as well.

[@Ludo045]

ThaMahstah gtfo here.. he wasnt emotional, she was. She asked, then get mad... He wasnt there to kiss her ass.

[@Emper0rH0rde]

She asked him to make deductions about her by looking at her. She did not ask him to deliberately insult her. Remember, Holmes is a jerk. He's a lovable jerk, but a jerk nonetheless.

[@Smokydoggg]

+ThaMahstah Him being right or wrong notwithstanding, a simple "you're wrong, because" would suffice. A real proper lady would not throw her wine on a gentleman and ruin the evening before leaving. She told him to make assumptions and he did.

[@Kage_the_Church_Grim]

I mean borrowing jewelry to make a good impression on her fiance's best friend (not including the fact he's practically famous and you typically wear your best when meeting a celebrity) wouldn't necessarily constitute as a gold digger to me. On top of that, if Holmes deduction was correct, she wore that ring proudly whilst traveling. I feel like a true gold digger would be able to tell that it wasn't as valuable as Holmes said. If nothing else, she would have gotten it appraised early on, to make sure she's getting her worth in gold. I gotta agree with +Mason here, Sherlock's abilities are typically more accurate and less emotionally charged than that. If nothing else, you can tell he's upset about Watson getting married in multiple other scenes. It's not at all a stretch for this to be a form of Sherlock acting out. And who can honestly tell they wouldn't be upset about someone bringing up your dead fiance and claiming you didn't even love him? Besides, he already pointed out that she borrowed the necklace so that right there shows that she's not greedy enough to steal it or going and buying expensive things

[@igkgigoh]

There is somebody explaining exactly how it is, not enough obviously, and people start going at it again and again. When Sherlock saw the ring of light skin on her finger, he could have gone with engaged but seperated and he should have asked what happened as he also only guessed it in the end. But he couldn't refrain from implying she is a gold digger, which cements his loathing of their marriage and again what a good, honest man Watson, who is his best friend, is. What it meant to her is being called a whore while having lost somebody she loved. You idiots.

[@JJ-ce2ji]

At 1:20 Sherlock is just so done with Mary’s “I intend to.” Also this whole scene is one of my favorites, Mainly because how calculated Sherlock is in this scene.

[@dietdrpepper15]

That was the inciting incident. Gonna 'take' HIS man... not gonna happen.

[@SulfurMonkey]

Exactly. I also loved the scene between them after Watson is hurt. She was very kind to him even after he treated her this way. She knows Sherlock loves him like a brother and tells him that it wasn't his fault. She's definitely a really good person.

[@Blahgahbleh]

"Take Watson." "I intend to." *Holmes gives her a death glare at that part.

[@changenoways9555]

The ending of this makes me so sad - like I know he was kind of harsh to Mary but when he puts on the napkin and starts eating by himself, it's just as if they're making a statement about how his intelligence leaves him always cut off from other people...

[@nathanracher2911]

Well... he is autistic. And so coupled his intellignce it is not to surprising that he is emotionally distant and hyper obsessive to the few people he is close to.

It is possible to combine manners with intelligence, though.

Totally bland response. Not upset. But it might have been going to plan for him anyway.

[@daynechastant]

@@stevekaczynski3793 He may have chosen the wrong assumption to make, knowing how she and Watson would react, which would leave him alone for dinner. So he planned to eat alone,

[@MrAvidLearner]

0:01 - 0:35 ... this was absolutely the most resonant scene for me. this is exactly why I hate crowds.

[@stevekaczynski3793]

I think it is a by-product of his powers of observation. Sometimes he gets sensory overload as he takes in so much.

[@kavijackson868]

Imagine if Sherlock Holmes was on the internet trolling and roasting people based on their comments!😂😂😂

[@kaczynskis5721]

If he lived today he would use the Internet a lot - he is described as acquiring the most extensive and obscure general knowledge by reading, and somebody today could use the Web for that. Whether he would use it to try and engage with other people, even in a trolling manner - of that I am doubtful.

[@amartyaroy3754]

BBC's Sherlock discovered twitter and went nuts.

[@GTanya07]

1:20 that fast smile from Holmes

[@poetradio]

This just occurred to me. If he gets his food at the table right after, that means he ordered before the couple arrived. Maybe he knew she'd storm out and he'd be eating alone anyway, so he timed everything.

[@prydonian460]

I'm a big Robert Downey Jr. fan but I never felt he would make a good Sherlock. He didn't seem the type to me. After seeing his portrayal I stand corrected and apologize to him for under estimating his acting chops. In truth if one has read the books one realizes that Downey's Sherlock is perhaps the closest to the mark after all !!

[@mjps1811]

+prydonian460 Cumberbatch does an even better job imo. RDJ was great too.

[@1945joshuaruiz]

Fuck you

[@prydonian460]

MJ PS I understand that the Cumberbatch version is set in contemporary times . Although it might be a great job the Victorian era setting of the Holmesian legend is also a big draw to me so I'll pass.

[@YukiMiaka90]

+prydonian460 I think Cumberbatch is great actor and portrays amazing private detective/consultant and definitely an interesting character just not Sherlock Holmes. And it's not because of the modern era but because he is literary completely the opposite to the original Conan Doyle characterization of him. he is immature, sociopathic (as he calls himself), completely insensitive, and purposely rude. RDJ portrayed while not perfect and too comedic at times but still Sherlock Holmes. Mycroft and Irene from the movies are MUCH closer to the books

[@Liberator130]

+MJ PS I actually prefer Downey Jr.'s version as I think he has a lot more range, not to mention better acting chops (in my personal opinion) of a Sherlock who's a lot more multifaceted than most other performances of the character I've seen (even moreso than Jeremy Brett). This scene in particular showcases how out of sorts he is as he's pressing on in eating after Watson and Mary leave, he's acting totally normal in terms of the encounter, yet he's tearing up from ruining the dinner for his friend and his fiance.

[@maplepf5497]

He talks so damn fast... and the subtitles are hilariously incorrect...

[@joem4585]

I watched a bit of this movie today, and honestly RDJ is a much better Holmes than I remember. I'm not 100% on the look or how he's written, but the actual performance is pretty damn good. That lean and the hand thing at 2:14 reminds me a little of Jeremy Brett.

[@thejuiceisloose7]

The look? What? And best written amazingly

[@neerkoli]

I like this Holmes better than Benedict's. The latter is a superhero whereas RDJ's and the original books' Sherlock is a simple man with an astute observational ability, but having all the common human flaws.

[@FlashyNightmares]

i love it when she says i intend to then sherlock smiles looking at her like 'bitch,what?'

[@Mivotin]

But she insisted...

[@IamHueGraves]

But he said she was a gold digger when her previous fiance died

[@shivanycm]

And Holmes failed to deliver by letting his emotions take over, rather than just using pure deduction.

[@Yorcont]

Holmes was waiting for her to insist, he calculated it, he started reading Watson, "nice man, but with a gamble problem", he knew she would be curious to hear his deductions about her, he vaguely declines knowing Watson would tell him to do so, but she would insist (after all is the great Sherlock Holmes and Watson's best friend) to which Holmes would use it to ignore Watson's warnings. Holmes even brings the chair closer to her and starts nice, but the moment he mentions the ring he does it to hurt her, to make her angry and maybe he's 100% right, he may have known she would get so angry that she would spill the drink on his face which could be the reason he turned his face away from her at the last second... He knew it so good that after they leave, the waiters inmediately served the food.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

I used to think that Mary was wrong for getting upset like that (because I was thinking "Well, she insisted!"). But, then I realized that first of all, Holmes didn't have to mention a word about her former engagement. I also realized that he was indeed trying to stop Watson from getting married (I never believed that he had tried to do that the first few times that I saw this movie). Finally, you can see at the end by the look in his face that he knows what he did was wrong and not needed.

[@luvminiwheaties]

No, I don't think Mary was being rude or "asked for it". She was merely expressing her own opinion about detective novels. Has said nothing about Sherlock Holmes himself. If he took offense to it, it's his problem. Also, Holmes' deduction about Mary being a gold-digger wasn't him being genuine or candid. That as intentionally being rude and nasty because there wasn't sufficient evidence. He was reaching for it. All the evidence said was that she was previously engaged.

[@PianoDisneygal10]

Also, I love how when Mary asks Holmes to read her and he obliges, he pulls up his chair and stares! LOL!

[@NateSean]

On another note: Am I the only one who is perfectly happy with whomever is playing the role of Sherlock? I've never seen a bad actor portray this character. Even when Brent Spiner was playing Data playing Sherlock, I was impressed by it. Probably because he's so iconic and the actors who take on the role always feel a sense of obligation to inject their own style, while trying to pay homage to a brilliant writer who didn't know how popular his creation would be come.

Everyone is always saying how they feel bad for Holmes in this scene. I think he was a jerk. i understand that he is good a reading people but i think Mary showed him that he can be wrong. He thinks he is infallible, when in reality sometimes his "grand assumptions" are wrong. Yes Mary was engaged, and yes the ring was cheap, but his assumption that she is a gold digger who wanted "better prospects" of marrying a "doctor" aren't true because she in fact loved the man she was engaged to and she didn't leave him because he was poor, he died. This makes her out to be so much better than Holmes thought she was. I don't feel bad for him at all. He "assumed" and it backfired on him.

[@Alexano101]

Well, his judgement was clouded. His bias lead him to deducing the worst possible likelihoods of why the former Mrs Morstan was no longer married. Holmes disliked Mary, and irrationally perceived that she was here to steal Watson away. His best friend, and only real friend I must add. Feeling insecure about himself, and again, biased in his dislike of Mary. A deadly combination, corrupting his logic. Desiring to find some flaw that may sabotage their relationship, he thus arrived at his false conclusion. The conclusion: That Mary had run away with her previous husband's money. Therefore your conclusion that Holmes was, to quote, "a jerk", is indeed correct. As he cared less about the overall happiness of his best friend than he did about being left alone. The result of his inability to make friends. But as I have revealed, the reasons as to why Mr Holmes is a jerk, are not necessarily for the reasons that you listed.

[@YukiMiaka90]

+Justine Rennekamp Why would he be kind to her? He never hid his dislike from Watson and didn't want to meet her to begin with. Moreover, what if she really was a gold digger and he guessed right in that instance? She could have killed her husband for all we know and played innocent sad widow. Adler by the way is a gold digger and a thief so Holmes already has a skewed view of women. It's understandable he would assume the worst. And what if he said it all on purpose to see her reaction so he could see her true colours?

[@hustlanair]

Sherlock is smart as hell I think he read her wrong on purpose to piss her and Watson off and come in between them so that they wouldn't see eachother anymore and eat alone...funny as hell actually

[@kavijackson868]

BRAVO!!!🤗

[@Hardcoreholly11]

Oh c'mon Holmes and Watson warned her, but she just had to insist.

[@LilliyLuver]

0:28 me when I eat dinner with people. My ears are so sensitive that I can hear my brother chewing a sandwhich across the table and him sloshing it down with water. Then add in the clinkering of plates, glasses, and siverware...

[@Beamish5495]

Holmes never was a social butterfly and exactly...his level of brilliance just separates him from anyone else...the only person who ever really cared for him and kept him company was Watson and that was in the beginning mostly because Watson was intrigued by his brilliance etc...its a pity rather because Holmes is such a interesting person but so many people are put off due to him being a like level 5,000,000,000 genius

[@EBiz-tv9jq]

I perceived this scene as showing that Holmes is really, really bad at everything outisde his immediate field of knowledge. He simply has a very different set of feelings, lots of them severely lowered. He is a character who has obvious psychosis - functional OCD, excellent memory .. he thrives in a lot of fields, as opposed to people who are savants (who excel in one field, but debilitate other skills). Holmes simply is shown he goes insane alone, he notices everything. Watson is his voice of reason. He confronts his to-be-wife in some way, but again holds no human limits. Holmes may be presented as an adventurer, but he is quite a tragicomic character at the end.

[@ernestoA.1999]

If you play poker , in 2:02 Holmes acts like you do when your opponent is betting big and you have the stone cold nuts 😂

[@cocogoat1111]

Rule #1 : Don't ask Sherlock to analyze you if you can't take the heat.

[@danielnatzke6733]

Take Watson for instance (I intend to) Never heard one that good in a British movie or show

[@mngentry]

And Holme's veiled uncomfortable laugh...

[@mortic0n]

Since there are butthurt meninists aplenty in this comment section wondering why women like to hurt their poor little feelings so much, let me explain why Mary reacted the way she did. What she asked Sherlock to do is to analyze her, so determine what she does for work ("you're a governess" "well done!") and what kind of day she's had ("your student flung ink at you." "*surprised gasp*") and that sort of thing. Things about her current life, not her life story. He could have stopped there and they'd all had a nice dinner and gone home. However, he proceeded to tell her that she's broke as hell and the jewels she's wearing are borrowed because her salary sure couldn't buy anything that extravagant. He basically called her bougie. He then proceeds to reveal her engagement to another man and accuse her of being a gold digger who is only dating Watson because his position as a doctor makes him the killing that could potentially result in her OWNING such jewels, not borrowing them. She became insulted because she is NOT a gold digger as he accused, but she is no longer engaged to her husband because he is dead. Are we all set here?

[@Vonhia181]

'What about me' were her exact words, uttered after having, herself, just witnessed Holmes expose Watson's gambling - a somewhat unflattering quality. She challenged Sherlock by inferring that his assumptions were somehow fraudulent, flawed and, having watched him dissect Watson, previously informed. He proved that they [his deductions] weren't. There was never any arrangement as to what was or wasn't off limits, however. She challenged Holmes to assess her, and this he did. It's not his fault that he picked up on what she otherwise would have kept hidden, regardless of whether he was 100% right or not. Holmes is blatantly autistic/different and she was wrong to not factor that in, to disrespect him in a way that would have been deemed reprehensible had the situation had been reversed (can you imagine a brilliant female astutely dissecting a man and being treated to a glass of wine to her face for her trouble?) and to do so publicly. And I like Mary.

[@joseph.6768]

He didn't judge her. He made a statement. And as cold as this statement may be (And seemed wrong, since she said the person died), she didn't say clearly what was her intention (You did your own interpretation on what she meant by asking him to analyze her. For all I know, she maybe considered at the time that Holmes was a joke or a lunatic), and so, Holmes made a complete response, which seems to be the ''safest'' way to respond to a person who is being vague. I add : Regarding @dominateolderwomen's response, I agree with this person. Same goes for Matthew R, who brings (It seems) precisions about her previous husband.

[@smvml89]

mortic0n She could have corrected him without the immature reaction of throwing wine at him and continued the "nice dinner"

[@joseph.6768]

Sergio M not that I want to defend her (I did respond to this earlier) but It may be asking too much xD But yeah, I agree with you.

[@SnakeMan448]

SMV L Right, she can't get angry about someone calling her a gold digger, when she is actually a widow?

[@andrewaustin9536]

The final shot of Holmes beginning to eat to eat: he seems to realize he has been such a jerk and he's ashamed of himself. That's how I interpret that awkward look on his face.

[@cool-as-cucumber]

Well she asked for it.. Go Sherlock

[@StarWarsMoments]

Swing and a miss.

[@robingrey117]

I always feel really sorry for S.H at the end of this scene, and how he just tries to act like everything is fine. Mind you , he did have it coming I guess but it was his own weird way of informing his friend of information, since he's used to confrontations. But still, the first half of this movie just feels like S.H is trying to go about his business and live life the way he wants and people are just constantly giving him shit....although I can see where his friends r coming fromtrying to help

[@manhunter433]

well from what I can analyze, he had been waiting for quite some time for them to arrive that he went ahead and ordered dinner for himself.

[@kidghost2565]

Neurological differences in the brain can cause sensory sensitivity and hyperfocus in some people. Perhaps the old boy had a bit of the ADHDizzle. That would explain why the only career path open to him was superhero.

[@Serenity113]

To me, Holmes didn't like Mary before meeting her. If the conversation had started differently I'm sure he would've said something else offensive towards Mary. She did insist on him deducing her but Holmes was just looking for an excuse to "catch" Mary acting shady anything that would make her look bad to Watson who seems like he already knew about Mary's last fiancee. This just shows just how personal and rude Holmes' deductions can be which is canon to the books, right?

[@stevekaczynski3793]

Some versions of Holmes suggest there is a sort of homosexual vibe between Holmes and Watson, though not necessarily acted upon, and Watson getting married would certainly trigger feelings of jealousy in Holmes.

[@JoyThirsty3]

Watching this scene makes me want the third film NOW! Downey is a great Holmes. ( Cumberbetch is too.)

[@DMOB313]

i love how he can just eat all properly with wine still on his face

[@charlestuozo]

Mary: I insist Holmes: So you have chosen death...

[@SilknSass76]

that beginning moment wraps up having aspergers syndrome perfectly

[@black4minister]

I totally agree. In fact that's something that they've kind of focused on in the BBC Sherlock - the idea that those two men were really the only ones on a par with each other. In 'Sherlock' they really show a connection between the two, despite them being on opposite sides. It's something I really like about that show.

[@raulbetancourt5795]

A very subtle way of saying "I don't want you marrying Watson" 🤣

[@jomoody798]

He was very rude. You can't take things for granted, and Sherlock and his capacity of deduction makes things really hard for everyone around him. Everyone has the right to explain for themselves, and Holmes doesn't give it to them.

[@KeepinItReal314]

i understand that she can be upset about being questioned of leaving her previous husband, but she asked Holmes to! she better expect to have him tell everything!

[@InTecknicolour]

I can totally see Gregory House, James Wilson and Sam in the exact scene in House M.D.

[@sarizonana]

john cho I thought the Mary Watson in House MD was Amber better known as cutthroat bitch lol 😂
