The Boredom - Sherlock Style
Between cases, Sherlock's restlessness becomes Watson's problem
Full Script
Sherlock Holmes: I'm bored, Watson. Catastrophically, existentially bored.
Dr. Watson: You could try reading. Or eating. Normal human activities.
Sherlock Holmes: I've read everything worth reading. Most of it was wrong.
Dr. Watson: There's a nice murder in the morning paper.
Sherlock Holmes: Domestic. Husband did it. Obvious from the headline.
Dr. Watson: You haven't even read the headline!
Sherlock Holmes: I don't need to. Tuesdays in that borough. Statistically predictable.
Dr. Watson: You know, most people would consider peace and quiet a blessing.
Sherlock Holmes: Most people have the intellectual depth of a puddle. (pause) No offense.
Dr. Watson: Oh, plenty taken.
Sherlock Holmes: Good. Offense keeps the mind sharp. (beat) Now, about that murder — was the husband left-handed?
Dr. Watson: I thought you said it was obvious!
Sherlock Holmes: It is. I just want to see how long it takes you to figure out why.
