INT. 221B BAKER STREET/SITTING ROOM - DAY

On John as he enters (still limping, with his cane.) The room is in half-light. Sherlock Holmes is sprawled on a sofa, seemingly in dreamy contemplation. He is surrounded by paper, his laptop is open on his chest, with his PDA and his phone. Looks like he hasn’t moved in hours. -- he has rolled up one sleeve and is fiddling with something at his exposed forearm - from this angle we can’t quite see what. (It’s the traditional Sherlock-injecting scene.) JOHN What are you doing? Sherlock glances irritably at him - then shows him. SHERLOCK Nicotine patch, helps me think! Impossible to sustain a smoking habit in London these days - bad news for brain work! JOHN Good news for breathing. SHERLOCK Oh, breathing - breathing’s boring. JOHN (Stepping closer, sees) Three patches?? SHERLOCK It’s a three patch problem. And he just lies there, ignoring John, deep in thought, staring at the ceiling. JOHN Well? Sherlock continues to stare, lost in thought. JOHN You asked me to come. I’m assuming it’s important. SHERLOCK Oh, yes, of course. Can I borrow your phone? John stares at him. What? What?? JOHN ... my phone!
