1. Ms. Sherlock By Waverly Wang Email: wwang26@g.ucla.edu
2. SFX: A baby cries. It turns into a shriek.
4. Mycroft: “You must find someone to share a room with.”
5. Mycroft: “It’s not safe or for a young woman like you and Henry to be living alone. And not just you, but also for Henry too.”
6. Sherlock: “Why is it so important? I’m perfectly fine living on my own.”
7. Mycroft: “Sherlock, I want to remind you that…as I’m providing you the very reason you hold this flat, you best heed my direction if you want to keep this arrangement”
8. Sherlock: “... fine,”
9. S: “It’s not that simple, Mycroft. The minute they realize that Henry doesn’t have a father. They’ll never want anything to do with me,”
10. Mycroft: “I know you don’t care about that. And that won’t be an issue, I can compensate them for their rent as well.”
11. Sherlock: “That’s disgusting. Buying a friend.”
12. Mycroft:“Don’t know why you would want a real friend”
13. Sherlock: “Of course you would say that. It makes more sense why you went into politics. It’s all coming together.” Mycroft: Sherlock, my worry is not just about you getting a flatmate. I was also thinking… You’re- You-”
14. Sherlock: “What just spit it out. You never hold back.”
15. A beat. Sherlock: “Oh no…Oh,no don’t tell it’s that thing again.”
16. Mycroft: “You’re… getting on… in age. You know Mummy wants you… married.” (rushed)
17. Sherlock:“So now you’re calling me old. Word of advice, Mycroft it’s rude to talk about a woman’s age. If 18 is old, you’re ancient. For that, I’m never going to marry.”
19. Mycroft:”Sherlock!”
25. Sherlock: “Please leave. I don’t know why I let you in”
30. Mycroft: “Please, Sherlock. If you don’t do this, she’ll start harnaguing me too and -”
32. Sherlock: “Why can’t you just get married.”
36. Mycroft: You know why.”
37. Sherlock: “You’re hardly Oscar Wilde, Mycroft. You’re getting a big head.”
38. Mycroft: “Sherlock, I can’t believe I have to explain why it’s so important.”
39. Sherlock” “Yes. Blah Blah Blah, Sherlock you wouldn’t understand since you don’t care about politics… go back to you’re stupid desk job”
41. Mycroft: That’s not my voice. And you must know the matters of the British government aren’t stupid. I can’t risk throwing my whole career in jeopardy for that.”
42. Mycroft: “If you don’t try to find a partner… or at the very least a flatmate. I will tell Mummy that you dropped out of Oxford”
43. Sherlock: “Go ahead. Tell her. She’ll just be mad at you for not stopping me. Also I’ll tell her about Ivan.”
44. Mycroft: You wouldn’t”
45. Sherlock: “Try me.”
49. Mycroft: “Oh you have a client?” Sherlock: Nope. Just the police.”
51. Lestrade: “Sherlock, dear, there’s another one. Can you come in?”
52. Sherlock:“Do you need me?”
53. Lestrade: “It would really help.”
54. Sherlock: “Of course”
55. Lestrade: “Thank you. See you then? I have to rush back in the carriage to start the investigation”
56. “Why is it so important? I’m perfectly fine living on my own.”
58. “Why is it so important? I’m perfectly fine living on my own.”
59. Sherlock: “Yes, see you then, Lestrade. I’ll be there”
65. Sherlock: “What?”
66. Mycroft: “What about him?”
67. Sherlock: “Mycroft, he’s married, more than twice my age, and he’s a friend.”
68. Mycroft: “But he was very fond of you, remember. He was there everyday. That time you were… indisposed”
70. Sherlock: “Yes’
71. “Why is it so important? I’m perfectly fine living on my own.”
72. SFX: *Baby crying*
77. Sherlock: “Let me go to him. I’ll go to him”
78. Mycroft: “I’m serious, Sherlock. If you don’t want to find a partner. You at least need to find a flatmate. Or… or else…,I’ll tell her about Henry.”
79. Mycroft: “I’ll tell her what happened.”
80. Mycroft: “She’ll make you stay home forever”
83. Sherlock: “How dare you. You- you always meddle. When will you stop ruining my life?”
84. Mycroft: “I’m not ruining your life. I-” Sherlock: Henry and I were perfectly happy without you interfering.
85. Mycroft: Without my interference you and Henry would be on the streets.
86. Sherlock: Oh thank you my savior. You know I could get it together, if you would stop interfering. You’re the reason why I feel so useless. Why- Why I can’t move on from…”
87. Mycroft: At some point, Sherlock you need to realize I’m not to blame for everything wrong in your life. When you’re ready to accept that, we can talk”
90. Sherlock: You’re never allowed to see him now.
132. Lestrade: Sherlock, are you okay?
