Jane Doe:
Hey.
I have a question.
Saint Sherlock:
Well, aren't you early.
Go shoot.
Jane Doe:
How do you say "my dear" in French?
Saint Sherlock:
It has a lot of variations.
Mon amour, mon cherie
Jane Doe:
What about if you're talking about a girl?
Saint Sherlock:
Ah
Ma cherie.
Why'd you ask?
Jane Doe:
Well. I need to ask a favor.
Saint Sherlock:
That sounds scary...
Jane Doe:
Oh shush.
Come on.
Will you help me or not?
Saint Sherlock:
I don't even know
what you're asking me to do.
Jane Doe:
Can you call me tomorrow?
Probably call me ma cherie, too.
Around past noon.
Saint Sherlock:
I'd like to call you ma cherie
But mind if I ask why?
Jane Doe:
Because I really need your help.
