A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10
SHERLOCK (cont'd)
You’re looking for cheap accommodation, but you’re not going to your brother for help - that says you’ve got problems with him. Maybe you liked his wife, maybe you don’t like his drinking -- JOHN How can you possibly know about the drinking? SHERLOCK Shot in the dark - good one though. The power connection.
Flash. We whoosh round the phone and zoom right in on the power connection. Tiny, barely perceptible little scuff marks round it. SHERLOCK (V.O.)
Tiny little scuff marks all round it - he plugs it in every night to recharge, but his hands are shaking. Never see those marks on a sober man’s phone, never see a drunk’s without them.
In the cab: He tosses the phone back to John. SHERLOCK
There you go, you see? You were right. JOHN I was right? Right about what? SHERLOCK The police don’t consult amateurs. Sherlock having made his point, returns to tapping away at his PDA. John is staring at him, a little gobsmacked. JOHN That was ... amazing. Sherlock glances at him - a little surprised, a little pleased. Like he’s not used to that reaction - and is really rather pleased by it. SHERLOCK Do you think so? JOHN Well, of course it was. It was extraordinary. Quite extraordinary.
