    "You know what I would do? I would let Indiana Jones and James Bond duke it out first, so one guy is going to be taken care of just like that. Then Sherlock Holmes and Indiana Jones would go at it, and Sherlock Holmes would outsmart Indiana Jones. So it'd just be me and Sherlock Holmes, and we would sit there and play chess."—when asked about fighting bad guysMTV News: How Does Tom Hanks' Robert Langdon Fare Against Other Crime-Fighters?
