Just one word, Sherlock, one word is all I needed to ..... let me know that you're alive... That was in a way bad.

First, I can't understand the part after all I needed to. And secondly, why do you think they started laughing after John Watson said That was in a way bad? Is it because he made a blooper?

There is no word missing there.

Nugso I can't understand the part after all I needed to.

Let me know that you're alive = give me the information that you are not dead.

Nugso And secondly, why do you think they started laughing after John Watson said That was in a way bad?

No idea; I see no hint in the dialogue, unless it suggests that Watson did not want to hear that Sherlock was alive.

Hi, Mister Micawber. Thanks for the reply.

Mister MicawberThere is no word missing there.

Nice! At first it sounded as if he has said tell.

Mister MicawberNo idea; I see no hint in the dialogue, unless it suggests that Watson did not want to hear that Sherlock was alive.

In one of the episodes, Sherlock faked his death to fool his rival, Moriarty, into thinking that he died, but at the same time he didn't say anything about faking his death to his closest friend, Watson. Hence, Watson was mad at him, but I still don't get why they laugh after That was in a bad way.
