A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SHERLOCK Oh, I see. So you’re a proper genius too. TAXI DRIVER
Don’t look it, do I? Funny little man, driving a cab. But you’ll know better in a minute. Chances are, it will be the last thing you ever know. Sherlock just looks at him, sour. His gaze lowers to the pill on the table. SHERLOCK Okay, two bottles. Explain. TAXI DRIVER
There’s a good bottle and there’s a bad bottle. Take a pill from the good bottle, you live. Take a pill from the bad bottle, you die. SHERLOCK The bottles are, of course, identical. TAXI DRIVER In every way. SHERLOCK And you know which is which. TAXI DRIVER Course I know. SHERLOCK But I don’t. TAXI DRIVER Wouldn’t be a game if you knew. You’re the one who chooses. SHERLOCK Why should I? I’ve got nothing to go on! What’s in it for me? TAXI DRIVER I haven’t told you the best bit yet. Whatever bottle you choose, I
take a pill from the other one. And then together, we take our medicine. Sherlock is staring at him, genuinely surprised. TAXI DRIVER
I won’t cheat. It’s your choice. I’ll take whichever pill you don’t. (Smiles at him, demonic, malevolent)
