Molly Hooper
- Sherlock Holmes: [waiting for Molly in the darkened lab, she enters and is startled when he begins to speak] You're wrong, you know. You do count. You've always counted and I've always trusted you. But you were right. I'm not okay.
- Molly Hooper: Tell me what's wrong.
- Sherlock Holmes: Molly... I think I'm going to die.
- Molly Hooper: What do you need?
- Sherlock Holmes: If I wasn't everything that you think I am, everything that *I* think I am... would you still want to help me?
- Molly Hooper: What do you need?
- Sherlock Holmes: [long pause] You.
- Sherlock Holmes: [muttering into microscope] I.O.U.
- [long pause]
- Sherlock Holmes: Glycerol molecule.
- [sighs]
- Sherlock Holmes: What are you?
- Molly Hooper: What did you mean, "I owe you"? You said "I owe you". You were muttering it while you were working.
- Sherlock Holmes: Nothing. Mental note.
- Molly Hooper: You look a bit like my dad. He's dead. Oh, sorry...
- Sherlock Holmes: Molly, please don't feel the need to make conversation. It's really not your area.
- Molly Hooper: When he was dying, he was always cheerful, he was lovely. Except when he thought no one could see. I saw him once. He looked sad.
- Sherlock Holmes: Molly...
- Molly Hooper: You look sad... When you think he can't see you.
- [pan to Watson working nearby]
- Molly Hooper: Are you okay? Don't just say you are, because I know what that means, looking sad when you think no one can see you.
- Sherlock Holmes: But, you can see me.
- Molly Hooper: I don't count. What I'm trying to say is that if there's anything... I can do, anything you need, anything at all, you can have me.
- [flustered]
- Molly Hooper: No, I just mean... I mean... If there's anything you need. It's fine.
- Sherlock Holmes: B-but what could I need from you?
- Molly Hooper: Nothing. I don't know. But you could probably say thank you, actually.
- Sherlock Holmes: [experimentally] Thank you.
- Molly Hooper: I'm just going to go and get some crisps. Do you want anything? It's okay. I know you don't.
- Sherlock Holmes: Well, actually, maybe I'll...
- Molly Hooper: I know you don't.
- Sherlock Holmes: [waiting for Molly in the darkened lab, she enters and is startled when he begins to speak] You do count. You've always counted, and I always trusted you. But you were right. I'm not ok.
- Molly Hooper: Tell me what's wrong.
- Sherlock Holmes: I think I'm going to die.
- Molly Hooper: What do you need?
- Sherlock Holmes: If I wasn't everything you think I am, or I think I am, would you still want to help me?
- Molly Hooper: What do you need?
- Sherlock Holmes: You.
