INT. DAY. ROOM.
SHERLOCK HOLMES IS GAZING THOUGHTFULLY OUT THE WINDOW WHEN WATSON WALKS IN.
WATSON: (dramatically)
Holmes!
HOLMES:
Yes Watson.
WATSON:
Why am I such a buffoon?
HOLMES: (pondering)
Hmmm… The mystery of why one of the greatest fictional detectives in history's sidekick is such a buffoon. (PAUSE) Quick!
WATSON: (excitedly)
What is it Holmes?
HOLMES:
Fetch me a magnifying glass Watson.
HOLMES PASSES A MAGNIFYING GLASS TO HOLMES WHO IS LOOKING AT SOMETHING IN A NEWSPAPER.
HOLMES: (thinking out loud)
Buffoon, buffoon, buffoon. Why is Watson such a buffoon? (PAUSE) Ah!
WATSON: (astounded)
Incredible!
HOLMES:
Hold your horses Watson.
CLOSE UP OF HOLMES MOVING HIS MAGNIFYING GLASS OVER THE WORD ‘ASK'.
HOLMES:
This is a big ask.
