Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Page #2

---

- Excited?

- Maniac.

- I am

-Verging on ...

-Ecstatic

-Psychotic

I should've brought you a sedative.

I'll give my life to see his demise.

He must be stopped, Before his

evil machinations come to a crescendo.

And how will you do all this?

Don't be a dingy bird.

Bad people do bad things because they can.

No one!, Not the victims, The

police, The governments..., Not anyone!.

Except the great Sherlock Holmes.

Correct.

On this diet.. Will work it all out.

-Right.

-Or thereabouts

Thereabouts

Not quite that

Here's to your good health.

Clinks glasses

Dingy bird

Moaning... Thump on floor

What you did to Gladstone now?!

Ricinus Communis.... The fruit is highly toxic.

He's barely breathing.

It was an excellent opportunity.

This may be just the thing.

Loud Thump... Squeling

I hope you do not mind terribly

if I tried my adrenal extract.

How many times are you going

to kill my dog, Holmes?

Dog yelps... Barks

-He took off like a monkey from a box.

-Hmm

I may need one of those in a few hours.

Consider it a wedding gift

Watson?

Might we use an alternative exit?

Is there something different about you?

I'm under observation.

As you should be.

You drive.

Will your beard... be with us all night?

I'll remove it once we're

south of Trafalgar Square.

If you believe Moriarty has you under observation?

Isn't this a bit conspicuous?

It's so overt, It's covert.

-Trafalgar Square.

-We must be safe by now

humfpt

Why are you looking at me with such concern?

I'm so very worried. Your vitality's been drained from you.

Marriage... it's the end I tell you

- I think of it as the beginning.

- armageddon.

- Rebirth.

- Restriction!

Structure!

Answer to a woman?

Being in a relationship.

A life in matrimony,

The Possibility of a family ...

Who wants to die alone?

So we'll have a good old fashioned romp tonight,

You'll settle down have a family and...

I'll... die alone.

Yes that's about it.

Perhaps it's better for one to die alone

than to... live life in eternal... purgatory

Anyway

Not bad, That

So.... Where are we going?

In the future, There will be one of those machines

in every town in Europe

Loitering in the woodshed again are we my king

-Good evening, Sherly.

-I see your boot maker is ill dear brother

As I detect that you've changed the brand of soap

with which you shave

May I point out the chimney in the front room on

Baker Street is to the need of a damn good sweeping out?

Are you aware that the hackney carriage

by which you arrived had a damaged wheel?

Yes, the left.

And it's plain to the meanest intelligence that you've

recently acquired a new bow for your violin.

Same bow, New Strings

And may I deduce.. Mycroft,

Good evening by the way

No!

He doesn't

May I deduce that you rarely strays from the path..

that runs from your home to the Diogenes Club,

and never on a Monday when

they serve your favorite potted shrimps..

You must be here for some far more important

reason than my stag party.

You know he's nothing like as slow witted

as been leading me to believe Shirley

You quite right Dr. Watson.

With all the conflict in Europe

at the monent

The whole situation... Excuse me...

Could suddenly erupt

I'm here to avoid a dire catastrophe

If the concerns of two nations,

Which will remain nameless,

But I can tell you they

speak French and German.

Are not dealt with tonight I shall be forced to

go to switzerland

To attend a ghastly peace summit in Richtenburg

- The only thing nice about Switzerland is the altitude

I'm so glad you invited your brother.

This looks promising

And your poison of choice gentlemen?

We'll start with the champagne

We may need several more chairs

And perhaps a good cigar

And Um don't bother with the chairs

What is it your brother does exactly?

He's the keeper of the Broome covet of state,

No ambition, No energy, At yet repeatedly told

he's indispensable to the British government,

Particularly the foreign office

I would like to propose a toast.

Really?

For my dear friend, Doctor.

John ...

Ummm...

Hamish ...

Watson.

I'm right here.

On the eve of his wedding... He ...

Has been the best of companions

Shouldn't we be waiting...?

For the boys from my rugby club?

He's always kept us...

They Couldn't attend.. Flat footed on the ground

All of them ?

Hmmm...what about the chaps from my medical school?

I attempted... They declined

There no man better ...

Who is it your looking for?

Who deserves better ...

There's not a single damn person here, Do I?

There's no need for hysterics..You know me,

And you know Mycroft, Don't be a ponce, Watson

Ponce?

You completely forgot about

my stag party didn't you?

-Why are we here?

-Your in very good health Doctor

Shame none of your friends

could make it

Laughing

I'm going to the gaming tables

I refuse for this night to be a total loss

Give me my money

Happily..., Give me the wedding ring

Oh...Now you are interested in being the best man.

You're suppost to keep the ring anyway.

Just as your suppost to organize my stag party

You don't want to lose it on a bet.... John.

And invite my friends, Which by the way

there are many

Along with no friends... Surely no Mates...

He all me..me..me isn't he ?

Please sit

Put your money on the table, and we will begin.

Welcome, I'm madame Simza.

Cards can illuminate your past

Clarify your present, And

show you the future.

If you have a specific question

hold it in your mind

Hmmm...

Ahem... Holding...

Let me know when your ready

Actually.. I prefer to read ...

your fortune

Temperance

Inverted, Indicitive of volatility.

A woman, who recently taken a confident drink.

From what does she seek solace?

What does wish to not see?

Hmm, A fool imbarassing himself?

Hmm...Oh, Yes the fool

Someone had been led astray involved

in something without their knowledge.

Not bad. But umm, You have to make me believe you....

I have to see it in your eyes.

I can do better....

The two of cups, A powerful bond..

But between whom?

A brother and a sister, perhaps?

And I see a name ... Yes.. it's

Rene

What do you want?

The devil.

Why are we playing this game?

Where did you get this?

I stole it from a woman in an auction room.

But I believe It was intended for you.

Found my purpose in life

So that question I've been holding is

what purpose is Rene fulfilling?

Time is up

I have other clients.

I think you may not have detected the wisp of

Astrakhan fur snagged on a nail

From my left shoulder You couldn't have failed to notice the overpowering aroma of herring pickled in vodka.

In tandem with a turely unfortunate body odor

there's a man conceled in the rafters above us.

A CORSAC, Renouned for their infesible acrobatic abilities and

are notorious for their hunting us assassins

So it's safe to presume your

next client is here to kill you.

Anything else?

No..?

First...

Pillage the nest.

Clip wings

Now ...

Blunt his beak.

Crack eggs.
