A professional trained agent plans every detail, every nuance – the word accident does not enter into their vocabulary.

Amanda

Well heaven forbid one tiny little compliment should escape your lips.

I’m just trying to point out it takes technique.

Amanda

Oh?

Look for instance, I’m sitting right here on this park bench now your assignment is to make a casual and natural contact, establish a relationship with me and then get me to ask you to the Kennedy tonight for a Verdi festival.

Amanda

How am I supposed to do that?

Look you sit and I’ll show you – hey toots.

Amanda

Ugh.

How ya doin? – heard any good opera lately?

Amanda

No I can’t say that I have.

Then what do you say that we hit the Kennedy for a little Verdi?

Amanda

Sorry I’m busy.

Gee that’s too bad, these were for tonight.

Amanda

Are those real?

About 8?

Amanda

I’d love to.

See how easy that was?

Amanda

Hello Mother, language tape, Russian, I always wanted to learn a second language.

Well that’s wonderful.

Amanda

Yeah.

Why Russian?

Amanda

Oh caviar...

What did you just say?

Amanda

The pregnant sow has lost her piglets.

Ah well that’s very interesting... where are you going to use that?

Amanda

On a farm... a Russian farm.

What are you doing out here?

Amanda

Oh I’m just out here practicing my Russian Mother, you know the warthog wants more Caviar... it’s a very important phrase though no one understands why.

That’s probably the reason why our two countries don’t get along.

LLeatherneck

You're dead again.

Amanda

I know I’m sorry.

LLeatherneck

For Pete's sake at least fire the weapon Mrs. King, it’s the only way to shut this thing off... Nice, look you just got the agencies all time low ball score, see the object of the thing is to fire your weapon at your adversary not the ceiling... the ceiling’s on our side.

He thinks he’s going to give me this Q Bureau for keeps.

Amanda

Well that’s wonderful.

No it’s not it’s just more work.

Now here’s the combination to the vault, it’s really a shambles in there we’ll get all the locks changed and this button is the silent alarm.

Now I know why they issued us cyanide capsules, you make me do this and I’ll use mine.

Feel free, Amanda if he lives help him straighten things out.

Amanda

Hello there.

Hi.

Amanda

Well thanks for the picnic, you really know how to give a girl a good time.

Well you make a pretty mean chicken sandwich.

Amanda

Oh my BLT’s even better.

Oh toasted wheat, crisp bacon, a touch of mayo.

Amanda

Just a touch.

Sounds perfect.

Amanda

Lee – about last night.

I know, I know it was just two cold people seeking a little warmth – right.

Amanda

Not exactly...

You know this is what always happens.

What?

Amanda

I always have to go back to the Agency.

We’ve got to divide the work.

Amanda

I agree with you let’s divide the work load, you follow the paper trail and I’ll follow Zorbel.

You think you can break into Zorbel’s place?

Amanda

No.

Well?

Amanda

Call me a cab.

You’re a cab.

Amanda

Thank you

View quote →

Well you’d better get hazardous duty pay Amanda, because M street is kind of a combination of ah…tag team wrestling and full contact karate.

Amanda

Do you know that first hand? – I’m just kidding Francine, I’m sorry I never should have opened my mouth, I know you’ll get me back.

You’re right.

Amanda

I really am sorry… I couldn’t help it.

Amanda

Oh.

What?

Amanda

Well some of this stuff is a little misleading you know, it’s the legal talk, I mean it says I’m resistant to change and that can’t be me, I was never a stubborn person, I’m just not a stubborn person.

Well you sure know how to get what you want.

Amanda

Lee – I’m not stubborn am I? Ok I’m a little stubborn.

S3 E11 The Wrong Way Home

Amanda

You know now there are a few things that we probably ought talk about before we get checked in. You know I know we don’t have any problems now but we’re out here in the parking lot in the middle of the day and we wouldn’t want to have any problems later so if we could just get a few things straight now...

Amanda this really isn’t necessary...

Amanda

I know it isn’t but just indulge me ok?

Oh alright.

Amanda

Well alright in the first place I like to take my shower first thing in the morning, now I know that there’s some men who like to go into the bathroom and they lock the door and they go in with the newspaper and the shave and they read the paper and I don’t know what they do in there but they take over an hour – and I just hope your not one of those kind of guys, you know? But anyway even if you are maybe we can figure out some sort of a compromise that’s comfortable for both of us. Now the other thing is when I sleep at night I like to leave the window cracked just about this much, just enough for a little fresh air, now I hope that’ll be alright with you if it won’t I’ll crack it just about that much...

Amanda.

Amanda

Yeah?

We’re registered as brother and sister.

Amanda

You and me?

Yes we’ve got our own room, bathroom, bedroom the whole works.

Amanda

Well that’ll make things much easier.

Yeah.

Amanda

We don’t look a thing alike.

Let me walk you to your room.

Amanda

Across the hall?

Well yeah – you can’t be to careful you know?

Amanda

That’s good thinking.

Hmm second nature, field experience.

Amanda

What kind of field experience?

You know.

Amanda

Not necessarily.

You know how I am about reading the small print.

Amanda

Oh, speaking of small print here’s some that I don’t think you’ve read at all yet. It’s your prescription from Dr Scardelli.

What?

Amanda

Hmmm.

Bed rest and total relaxation for five days, hey look I’m fine, I’ve got a thousand things to do around here I can’t...

I second that prescription Scarecrow and that’s an order, Mrs King I have an assignment for you.

Amanda

Yes sir, what is it?

Him, I’m giving you a temporary AOS16 status, so that he will get that rest.

Amanda

Yes sir, I won’t let you down.

AOS16?

Amanda

Higher than you, that’s right.

One level higher.

Amanda

Step right this way please.
