Reccer's Comments:

Andrei Panin, from the 2013 Russian series, is one of my very favorite Watsons. This vid is a short tribute to his various mantles: doctor, author, boxing instructor, marksman, and -- as always! -- unreliable narrator. There are some technical imperfections in the vid (a few stray frames, some extraneous audio), but overall, it does a nice job capturing the humor and energy of the series, and it was able to make me laugh even before I went back and figured out what all the dialog was.

As it turns out, some of the jokes require knowing the dialog, so I put together a downloadable subtitles file for you. (As always, copious thanks to spiritcc and company for their work providing English subtitles for the series!) If an .srt file is not convenient, have a transcript behind the cut:



0:00
Lestrade: Who are you?
Watson: John Watson.
Lestrade: Irish?
Watson: I'm a doctor.

0:12
I'm a doctor.
I'm a physician.
I'm a just a doctor, a physician.
I'm not a detective. I'm a doctor.

(lightning flash horror sequence)

Holmes: You're a butcher!
Watson: Yes, I'm a doctor.

Would you like some excellent German drops for your flu?

0:33
Holmes: You even write like you're dissecting a frog.
You filthy hedge-writer!
And you chose a foppish, peacocky pseudonym!

(shaving) You can't be that stupid, doctor!
(with package) Stop crawling around on the floor, it's time to wear suits!
(pouring water) I have weaned myself (What, 'weaned'!?) from your martinetish ways.

0:53
(boxing gloves montage)
Watson: You asked for it.
(punching montage)

1:14
I'm not handsome...
(in dress uniform)
I'm unlucky, unsuccessful...
(adoring public outside Baker Street)
Mrs. Hudson: Fame has found you, doctor.
I'm boring...
(Watson drunk and laughing)
...and proud, a terrible combination.
Mrs. Hudson, will you be my wife?
(wincing) My leg.

1:46
Watson: Of course, I was tempted not to shoot him in the leg.
Holmes: Shoot, doctor! Shoot!
Watson (voiceover): I shot six people today.
Holmes: You're excellent at shooting!
Watson: (taking aim) Actually, I heal people.



Content warnings: blood, gore, guns.
Physical warnings: isolated bright flashes.
