A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SHERLOCK It means when the police are out of their depth - which is always - they consult me. JOHN But the police don’t consult -- Bites off the word. Sherlock looks sharply at him. JOHN Amateurs. Just the merest flash in Sherlock’s eyes: didn’t like that. SHERLOCK And whoosh! Flashback - the computer room. Bullet time, everything suspended, a 3D freeze frame - the moment where John is offering his phone to Sherlock. (We now cut in and out of this flashback, as required.) SHERLOCK (V.O.) I didn’t know. I saw . Whoosh! Close on Frozen John’s face. SHERLOCK (V.O.) Tanned face -- Whoosh! Now zooming down to John’s extended hand, proffering the phone. SHERLOCK -- but no tan above the wrists. You’ve been abroad but not sunbathing. Whoosh! Out to a wider shot of John. SHERLOCK Your haircut and the way you hold yourself says military - but your conversation as you entered the room -- Whoosh! We zoom over frozen John’s shoulder to: Flasback: Mike and John entering the room for first time: John and Mike coming into the room? When I first met you yesterday I said, Afghanistan or Iraq? You seemed surprised. JOHN How did you know?
