A scene from Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows 2011
Dr. John Watson

[Watson opens the door to Holmes’ study, to find himself in a lush jungle filled with wildlife] [deadpan]

Your hedge needs trimming!

Sherlock Holmes

[out of sight, barely audible]

Where am I?

Dr. John Watson

I don’t care where you are, as long as you're ready.

Sherlock Holmes

I'm waiting.

Dr. John Watson

I’m not gonna play this game. Remember, I have to catch the last [is immediately struck by a dart from behind, but it doesn't do him any harm; he turns] train.

Sherlock Holmes

[still out of sight]

Oh! Oh! That's you dead, I'm afraid.

Dr. John Watson

You win [sits down and observes the room surreptitiously] I lose. [disappears behind a newspaper] Game over. [another dart hits the newspaper, Watson quickly puts it down again]

Sherlock Holmes

Still don't see me? [reveals himself to have been standing in front of a pillar and a bookshelf wearing camoflauge, laughs, and steps into the middle of the room] Quel surprise! [takes off the hood of his disguise]

Dr. John Watson

I'm not going out with you dressed like that.

Sherlock Holmes

Would you prefer it if I joined you in the fashion faux pas wearing fine military dress with that heinous handmade scarf? Clearly an early attempt of your fiancé.

Dr. John Watson

Oh, how I've missed you, Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes

Have you? Why, I've barely noticed your absence. Then again I'm knee-deep in research. Extracting fluids from the adrenal glands of sheep and designing my own urban camouflage. All the while verging on a decisive breakthrough in the single most important case of my career, perhaps of all time.
