Author's note: Prompt of 'I'll get you my pretty!'
It was John who made the tackle, knocking the fleeing murderer to the ground. Lestrade was standing by the door, shock still on his face. Sherlock was smirking, having correctly deduced that the murderer was the policeman who had discovered the body.
'Good job, John. Come on, there's a new Chinese shop down the road.' John let go of the suspect as the other police handcuffed him, still slightly shocked. The man was raving, clearly upset at having been discovered.
'I'll get you my pretty! And your little dog too!' he yelled. Sherlock paused, a slight look of confusion on his face. John was bemused. Is he mad? Looking back at the mangled body, he thought, yes, perhaps he is. Looking up, he saw Sherlock's face.
'Oh, come on. Don't tell me you've never seen The Wizard of Oz either.'
'I won't.'
'Won't what?'
'Tell you I've never seen The Wizard of Oz.'
'Right,' he grabbed Sherlock's sleave. 'We're going to go watch it now.'

I can't believe how much of pop culture Sherlock doesn't know. He's never seen the Wizard of Oz! Or the Princess Bride (which may have helped him in the first case I worked with him), or Titanic or even Harry Potter! I'm trying to educate him by having movie nights… It's not going so well. But I'm trying.

Why do I need to know "There's no place like home." It is of no relevance to my work! Hard drive, remember!

Because it's pop culture! Everyone knows it! What if you have a case that requires you to know something about a movie?

That's what I have you for.
