Scenes with Amanda 168
Amanda
I was mugged.
Amanda
I was mugged. In the middle of the street, broad daylight.
That's funny. You know, the same thing happened to me just last week. I was outside the airport making a surveillance pass and all of a sudden I felt this big arm lock around my neck from behind.
Amanda
What did you do?
Oh, I spiked his instep with my heel, thumbed his eyesockets, pressed my forearm against his larynx, and then brought up my knee in a lifting motion.
Amanda
I just screamed.
Amanda, I don't know why you work for a company that won't give you office space. I mean you're never going to meet anyone working at home.
Amanda
Mother, I don't want to meet anyone right now.
Amanda, that doesn't make sense. How can you not want to meet someone you've never even seen?
What are you looking for?
Amanda
My room.
Amanda
Then where is your room?
It's also my room. It's our room.
Amanda
Oh no
Amanda
Yes, I’ve never seen Trafalgar Square before, it’d help if I could move around a bit.
If you move around he could kill you.
Amanda
Well there’s a lot to see from here too.
Amanda
Oh, thank heavens -- you're okay!
I will be when you get off my arm.
Amanda
So it’s called good guy/bad guy?
Right, one guy questions the suspect meanwhile the other guy plays nice as a buffer to the mean guy.
Amanda
Which side is the good guy on?
Amanda
But he’s really good?
Amanda
Then who’s really bad?
The bad guy – ah the suspect, got it?
Amanda
Sure but it’s too complicated, I think maybe I should just talk to Conrad he always used to confide in me, he even told me once that he wears his undershorts inside out so that the seams wouldn’t scratch him.
Hmm well – underwear is not on the schedule today could we please try to stick to the proven technique?
Amanda
Right good guy/bad guy – Ah Lee, it makes me feel just awful when I have to shout at the boys so I think I should probably be the good guy and if you don’t mind you should be the bad guy
Amanda
Ok what’s the matter? That’s as good a good guy as I can be.
Mother Theresa was never that good.
Amanda
I think we should both be the good guy.
Oh come on there’s no such thing as good guy/good guyǃ
Amanda, you know I counted every little coffee bean in that coffee can and do you know what your lucky number is?
Amanda
No what is it?
One thousand, six hundred and thirty eight.
Amanda
Oh gee, I always kinda hoped my lucky number would be seven
Amanda
She must be worried sick, I didn’t come home all last night.
Amanda
I didn’t even call.
Tell her you were tied up.
You’re a big girl, you don’t owe me any explanations.
Amanda
Thank you Mother.
Amanda
I should have.
Amanda
I was tied up.
Amanda
Lee, I want you to know that I’m not at all worried because I know that you’re a highly trained professional agent and I’m sure you have some kind of plan to get us out of here... don’t you?
Amanda
No plan?
Amanda
I’m very sorry to hear that.
If worse comes to worse we’ll give you a new identity and move you to a new part of the country.
Amanda
Oh no! Not in the middle of the school year.
Amanda
I think I’ve figured out what Mrs Farnsworth was trying to tell me, I mean tell you... tell you through me
It scares me to admit it, but I think I followed that.
Amanda
I think that’s what Mrs Farnsworth was doing, I think she’s hidden something in every sketch and in this one I think is a … jackhammer.
Amanda
Maybe it’s not a jackhammer, it could be a lawnmower.
