Sherlock, Series 3

[Greeting the guests, a small boy runs up to Sherlock and gives him a big hug around the waist]

Sherlock Holmes:
Erm...yes, well done in the service, Archie.

Archie's Mum:
He's really come out of his shell. I don't know how you did it.

[Sherlock looks away. Flashback to Sherlock's living room, where he is trying to persuade Archie to be a pageboy]

Sherlock Holmes:
Basically, it's cute smile to the bride's side, cute smile to the groom's side, and then the rings.

Archie:
No.

Sherlock Holmes:
And you have to wear the outfit.

Archie:
No.

Sherlock Holmes:
You really do have to wear the outfit.

Archie:
What for?

Sherlock Holmes:
Grownups like that sort of thing.

Archie:
Why?

Sherlock Holmes:
[Exasperated] I don't know, I'll ask one.

Archie:
[Questioningly] You're a detective?

Sherlock Holmes:
Yep.

Archie:
Have you solved any murders?

Sherlock Holmes:
Sure, loads.

Archie:
Can I see?

Sherlock Holmes:
[Beat] Yeah, alright.

[They look through pictures on Sherlock's laptop]

Archie:
What's all the stuff in his eye?

Sherlock Holmes:
Maggots.

Archie:
Cool!

[Sherlock raises an eyebrow at this. Back to the wedding]

Archie's Mum:
He said you had some pictures for him? As a treat.

Sherlock Holmes:
Er...yes...if he's...good...

Archie:
Beheadings!

Sherlock Holmes:
[Quickly] Lovely little village...

Archie's Mum:
Hm? What did you say?
