I could have married royalty. A prince proposed to me once.
Why didn't you accept?
His country was too small.

In this episode: Amanda (6), Lee Stetson (5), Francine Desmond (5), Billy Melrose (4)
Be nice.
When am I anything but?
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.
Yeah, 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.
I don't want the Princess to know you're one of us.
Gee, I'm one of us.
I know I'll regret saying that
PPenelope
He's kinda cute.
Who?
PPenelope
That agent, Mr. Stetson. The one in charge of security.
Oh, him.
PPenelope
Yeah, him. Yeah, I notice he doesn't have a wedding ring on.
Oh, no. No, I could never get involved with ... anybody in that line of work. That's, that's too dangerous.
PPenelope
Sometimes dangerous can be fun.
I spent the entire evening with an IRS man.
Come 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.
Oh, come on now. It's not like you've never done that before.
Not to music, I haven't.
Listen, Billy. Would you mind explaining one tiny, little inequity to me?
What's that?
Well, it just seems that while I, the seasoned professional, am in here, digging through files, socializing with the IRS, and Amanda, the rookie, is out whooping it up with royalty, ex-movie stars, and Lee Stetson. I mean, I'm asking you, who do you know that is better at mingling with and flattering the idle rich than I am?
No one.
Ah-hah. So, you can explain the situation to me?
Certainly. That's the way life is.
Why do I even ask these questions?
PPenelope
Oh-hoh!
This is not an oh-hoh.
PPenelope
Oh.
Uh-uh. No, no. No. I don't know what that man wants.
PPenelope
No?
No!
Hi.
I thought I was supposed to be undercover.
You 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!
A what?
You heard me. She thinks you're cute.
I am cute.
Not that cute.
So, she said I was cute?
She was under a lot of pressure.
Amanda, 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.
Ah, what did you come up with?
I didn't come up with anything, she did.
Okay, what did she come up with?
She thinks we're having a thing.
A thing?
