A STUDY IN PINK SHOOTING SCRIPT - GREEN AMENDED 18/04/10

You know, I’ve got a phone. Very clever, all that, but you could just phone me on my phone! M When one is avoiding the attention of Sherlock Holmes, one learns to be discreet. Hence this place. Your leg must be hurting, sit down.
John sits. M inspects him with a blank, reptilian gaze. John smiles cheekily back. But under that he’s so angry. M You don’t seem very afraid. JOHN You don’t seem very frightening. M Ah, yes, the bravery of the
soldier. Bravery is by far the kindest word for stupidity, don’t you think. What is your connection with Sherlock Holmes? JOHN I don’t have one. I barely know him. I met him yesterday. M And since yesterday you’ve moved in with him, and now you’re solving crimes together. Might we expect a happy announcement by the end of the week? JOHN Who are you? M An interested party. JOHN Interested in Sherlock? Why? I’m guessing you’re not friends. M You’ve met him. How many friends do you imagine he has? I’m the closest thing Sherlock Holmes is capable of having to a friend.
