Are you always this punchy in the morning?
LeeAre you always this perky?
Well, you know, I guess I'm just what you'd call a morning person. I guess you're just not what you'd call a morning person. Uh, look, are you sure you're set up to take care of a child? I mean, you know, they need...
LeeAttention, someone to talk to?
No, what they need is food, and you haven't got any.
LeeJust what do you call that incredibly expensive Camembert?
Moldy.
Well, I was just wondering ... shouldn't I know how to hit?
Excuse me?
Well, shouldn't I have certain skills, you know, like self-defense, maybe know a few codes...
Amanda, surely you realise that your value to us is that of a civilian. I don't need another agent.
Were you to become a known operative, your usefulness would be over.
LeeYeah, it's great you don't know anything. The enemy could torture you for weeks and not get a thing.
Oh, well, I appreciate that. But I don't think staying alive would compromise my usefulness too much.
LeeI don't want the Princess to know you're one of us.
Gee, I'm one of us.
LeeI know I'll regret saying that
I spent the entire evening with an IRS man.
LeeCome on, Francine, do you have to give me all the gory details of how you got the information?
Yes, I do. First, we went to a tiny little restaurant with imitation wood tables and no wine list to speak of and then, then he suggested that we go back to his condo.
LeeOh, come on now. It's not like you've never done that before.
Not to music, I haven't.
LeeHi.
I thought I was supposed to be undercover.
LeeYou are. Why? Is anything wrong?
Oh, no, no, no, that was a very subtle performance you gave at the window. She thinks we're having a oh-hoh-hoh-hoh!
LeeA what?
You heard me. She thinks you're cute.
LeeI am cute.
Not that cute.
LeeSo, she said I was cute?
She was under a lot of pressure.
LeeAmanda, when you're undercover, it is not good procedure to look at me until the assignment is officially over. Does the, uh, princess know you're working with us?
No, but I had to have a reason you were outside my window last night.
LeeAh, what did you come up with?
I didn't come up with anything, she did.
LeeOkay, what did she come up with?
She thinks we're having a thing.
LeeA thing?
Eyes straight ahead, Scarecrow.
Well, who picked these out?
LeeThe computer did. It's Delano's favorite colors and designer.
Hmm. Did the computer also decide on the house?
LeeMm-hmm. Delano's favorite architect and décor.
Quite some computer.
LeeYeah. The computer also suggests that you wear your hair up.
Well, why don't you let the computer put the dress on and go out with him tonight, too?
LeeIt's way after midnight, Cinderella.
What are you doing here?
LeeSomeone ripped off her microphone in the ladies' room, that left me with a lot of time to kill.
Listen. I have to go home. I should change clothes.
LeeAren't you going to tell me about your evening?
Well, there's nothing to tell. I did what your computer wanted me to do, and now it's time for me to slip into a phone booth and turn back into Amanda King.
How'd you get me out of there?
LeeI carried you.
He carried me.
Hey, everybody, drink up. We have just captured the leader of the most successful espionage ring in the country.
LeeUh, we?
Well, yeah, I like to think of us as one big, happy team around here. Sharing in the pain, sharing in the heartache.
LeeSharing the credit.
If I must.
Scarecrow, I am astounded that you found your way back here. Your reputation is not exaggerated.
Oh, no.
I cannot allow you to jeopardize my plans.
LeeLook. She has nothing to do with this.
Tell the big fella to keep quiet.
Quiet, big fella.
Think of something, think of something!
LeeI am thinking!
Uggh!
LeeJust relax, will you?
Oh, sure, easy for you to say. You're not the one they're going to stuff in a refrigerator and ship off to Moscow.
LeeNo, I'm the one they're going to put up against a wall and shoot!
MMPH! Mmph! Mmph? Mmmmmm. . . .
LeeI hope you, uh, got all you came for, Mrs. King. (He winks.) Interview-wise, that is.
I can't believe I spent the night in a bookie joint in a straitjacket and my mother will never believe it.
LeeAmanda, believe me, we have worse problems than your mother thinking you were shacked up.
LeeNow, don't be nasty, Francine, huh?
I wouldn't dream of it.
