A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
John is thunderstruck - a cat at a tennis match. Mrs. Hudson just looks faintly knowing. And Sherlock lets a whoop of excitement. SHERLOCK Brilliant! He leaps right over the sofa, dashes to his desk, starts stuffing things in his pockets - his kit. SHERLOCK
And I thought it was going to be a boring evening. Serial suicides, and now a note - oh, it’s Christmas! (Dashes for the door) Mrs. Hudson, I’ll be late - might need some food. MRS. HUDSON I’m your landlady, dear, not your housekeeper. SHERLOCK
Something cold is fine. John make yourself at home - have a cuppa! Don’t wait up! And he’s bounded out the door. John looks after him, slightly bemused. He grabs the newspaper again. MRS. HUDSON (To John, sympathetic) Oh, look at him, dashing about? My husband was just the same. John is looking at the paper. Under the headline “Third ‘Suicide’ found” there’s a photograph. Closer on the photograph - a snatched picture of the man who just left (Lestrade). Panning down to the words “Inspector Lestrade, in charge of the investigation”. MRS. HUDSON But you’re more the sitting down type, I can tell. I’ll make you that cuppa, you rest your leg. A sudden flash of anger from John - he dashes down the paper. JOHN Damn my leg! She looks startled - John is instantly in raptures of apologies. JOHN I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, it’s just sometimes ... bloody thing.
