A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
JOHN Bit different from my day. MIKE You’ve no idea.
Whoosh! Back to frozen John. SHERLOCK (V.O.)
-- says you trained at Barts. So - army doctor. Obvious! Whoosh! To John’s hand, gripping on to the handle of his walking stick. SHERLOCK (V.O.)
Your limp is really bad when you walk, but you don’t ask for a chair when you stand, like you’ve forgotten about it - so it’s at least partly psychosomatic. That says the circumstances of the original injury were traumatising - wounded in action then.
In the cab:
SHERLOCK Wounded in action, a suntan. Afghanistan or Iraq? JOHN You said I had a therapist. SHERLOCK You’ve got psychosomatic limp, of
course you’ve got a therapist. Then there’s your brother -- Flashback. Whoosh! On Frozen John’s hand, zooming right on his phone. SHERLOCK (V.O.) Your phone. Expensive, email enabled, mp3 player - you’re looking for a flatshare, you wouldn’t waste money on this. It’s a gift then. Whoosh! Cranked up footage, the phone is handed to Sherlock. We freeze again. Whoosh! Closer on the phone. SHERLOCK (V.O.)
Scratches - not just one, but many over time. Been in the same pocket as keys and coins.
