What’s got you so pre-occupied?
AmandaOh, Security’s doing another special background on me. I’ve already passed one of those.
I know it’s an albatross hanging around the neck of every full time agent. They hit me every three or four years, the same old dirt… listen if you had any deep dark secrets I’d have found them by now.
AmandaI don’t have any secrets.
Oh I can think of one or two.
AmandaI’m late for class.
Shadow shock.
AmandaShadow shock?
Definitely Shadow shock.
AmandaWhat’s Shadow shock?
Just the way Med students come down with every disease they study, new agents become suspicious of everyone and everything... you need a rest and a guy with a healthy sex drive.
AmandaNot this weekend.
This is ridiculous, Amanda King burning flags, whipping up riots – c’mon give me a break will ya.
AmandaWhen they give you a letter around here what colour is it – scarlet?
What are you gonna do just sit there?
AmandaYes, I’m gonna just sit here, I’ve got a visitors pass and that’s all I can do, is just sit here.
AmandaIt’s alright Lee, Mrs Frampton I went to talk to Mr Perry unofficially because I thought he could clear me, I take full responsibility.
More precisely, I ordered Mrs King to accompany me as backup, I take responsibility.
AmandaNo.
Hold it people, I take responsibility around here remember.
Ok, I’ll keep my feet on the ground but for now watch my rear huh?
AmandaMy pleasure.
Very funny.
AmandaWhat’s that smell?
Dinner and if you think it smells bad you should taste it.
AmandaOh my gosh, that looks delicious, who cooked?
I did, I’ve got cooking third period at school.
Yeah making dinner was on the final exam... he flunked.
AmandaSweetheart I think that was the best casserole surprise I’ve ever tasted.
I think I left out some ingredients from last night.
AmandaWell that just made it more of a surprise... how’d you like your brothers meal?
It was a lot better than last night, I’m not dizzy yet.
Amanda, I’ve been thinking about what we were talking about earlier and I have decided... No secrets.
AmandaGood plan, now you’re really on to something.
Who’s Jim Sironen? Um... Hilton Head 1976?
AmandaI haven’t got a clue... Ah just wait... Um you know what? I think I’m developing a sort of selective memory or something.
Yeah, you know I had the same kind of memory with the Petrovich twins.
AmandaI don’t know what a couple of tumblers from the Moscow Circus have to do with...
Jim Sironen?
AmandaWho?
The Petrovich twins were a little tiny chapter in my past that I would have rather kept secret but no you had to read the report, remember?
AmandaOoh God, remember? I... Yes, yes I do remember... Yes I do remember, I’ve got to admit I do remember.
And since there were no little goodies in your past that usually come up in the line of duty I thought that the Jim Sironen file would make a fair trade.
AmandaKind of like trading baseball cards huh? I’ll give you two Mickey Mantles for a Whitey Ford.
Yeah, we’ll swap secrets you know? Tell everything... Lay it all on the line.
AmandaI’ll go second.
AmandaOh hello Sir, Merry Christmas.
Ditto King.
AmandaAre you looking for the party?
I’m packing GC’s for the gang... Gift certificates King, point me in the right direction.
AmandaRight down there in the bull pen Sir
Oh here (he gives her a gift certificate) pick up a bauble on me.
AmandaThank you sir (she kisses him on the cheek) Merry Christmas.
Don’t ever do that again.
AmandaI won’t.
Peace on earth.
Did you have a nice evening?
AmandaOh yeah, pretty quiet just me and my popcorn and my book.
You know you’re a lot like I am you love to read a good dictionary.
Alright then what’s the standard procedure in a case like this?
AmandaStandard procedure, well that would be to... Um assemble a personal profile through interviews and surveillance of locations frequented by the suspect
In this case the Kenlan Club, I will pick you up at 8 o’clock.
AmandaYou don’t have to do that.
Amanda, we’re talking about my future Mother-in-law right? And besides I might get lucky.
Let me ask you a question.
AmandaWhat is it?
Why are you wearing that when you’re going to see a documentary on tractors?
AmandaIt’s the premiere.
Oh I see... and a date with Lee Stetson?
AmandaGood night Mother.
How was the film?
AmandaThere was no film Mother.
Cancelled from lack of interest?
Sugar, Mr Stetson?
AmandaCream... oh I know that from work.
