(Music: “Duh duh duuh!” and drumming on the speakers)
Narrator: Welcome back to….Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.
Today’s Episode: Murder at the Warehouse! (“Duh duh duuuh!”)
We find ourselves at Baker street -- 2b Baker Street – where Sherlock Holmes,
and Dr. Watson, are at the breakfast table.
Watson: Well, Sherlock, what d’you think we’ll do today?
Sherlock: O, I don’t know, maybe go . . . strawberry picking?
(muffled laughter)
Watson: What a wonderful idea! I’d better get my little hat.
Sherlock: I’d better get my, uh, uh, uh, uh, tractor?
Watson (laughing): Your tractor! What a wonderful idea! Do you have a hay ride for everybody?
Sherlock: Yeah!
(knocking on the door)
Watson: What’s going on? What’s that? You’d better get it.
(Whispering off-stage: “Sam, it’s a note. Go on, say it, a note.”)
Sherlock: There’s nothing there except a note!
Watson: Read it to me.
(Pause. Whispering: “Meeting at the warehouse, something about meeting at the werehouse.”)
Sherlock: Uh – “Will meet you . . . at . . . the warehouse . . . at . . . twelve, er – twelve o’clock in the
morning.”
(bursts of laughter)
Watson: Are you joking?
Sherlock: No, it says that.
Watson: Let me see – you can’t read! It says, “Mr. Chucky . . .” hahaha!
Narrator: AND SO the two friends jumped into their car and drove to the warehouse to find out
what was the trouble.
Watson: Vroom vroom vroom vroom, vroom vroom vroom vroom
Sherlock: (taps on the speakers to imitate footsteps)
Watson: We’re in a car, you dummy.
Sherlock: Okay!
Watson: (singsong) Vroom vroooom vroooom, vuhrooom vroom vroooooom….
Narrator: And they reached the warehouse.
Sherlock: Well – here we are.
Watson: oh great, what do we do now?
(Pause)
Watson: I"m going in to investigate! Arrghhhh!
(Shouts and crashing)
of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson!
