“Remembrance Of Things Past” · Season 1, Episode 11

In this episode: Amanda (8), Lee Stetson (7), Billy Melrose (3), Francine Desmond (1)

Yes. I mean, I know I can't punch, but look, if anybody tried to attack you, I could confuse them to death. You know I can do that.

Oh, that I do. And believe me, when I need a blackbelt confuser, I will call you.

Look, are you going to be taking me to dinner every night? I mean, what kind of agent can I be when there's somebody with me all the time?

A live one.

The hardest part about this work is the feelings. Lee said not to get involved. He was right about that.

I never thought I'd live to hear you say that. Actually, I didn't live to hear it. Not officially, of course.

You're alive? You're alive and standing right here in my family room? Oh, you are! Oh, you are! Oh, I'm so angry with you!

What, for being alive?

Look, Amanda, no one I know would ever look for me here and everyone you know is out of town. So if you could just get past the psychological barrier of having me around, everything would be great! So where do you want me to put my things? Hmm? [He walks away. Amanda stands there.]

Guatemala.

A hundred dollars.

Well, how am I supposed to know what the current bribery rates are? A hundred dollars seemed fair to me.

In this neighborhood, you can rent a city block for that.

Ooh, renting a room with no luggage. Can you imagine what that desk clerk must think?

Amanda, get in the bed.

What?!

Just do it, will ya?

CClerk

What's going on in there? Open up! What's all the ruckus in here?

Ruckus?

CClerk

Yeah, there's screaming and pounding and yelling. Eddie the alcoholic says it sounds like World War Three.

Hey, now look, man. Me and the chick here paid for some privacy and we expect it, so beat it, huh? You tell Eddie the alcoholic to put in his earplugs if he don't like it.

Yeah.

CClerk

Look. I run a nice, clean joint here. You got five minutes to clear out or I call the cops!

Do you know what it must take to offend that man's sense of decency? I'm so glad that I was the one to do it.

Assuming, of course, that the man who climbed in the window was the killer and not some maniac prowler.

Killers, maniac prowlers. You know, before I came to work for you people, the worst person in my life was a grumpy milkman.

Billy, these are the...

Oh.

Amanda. You're here. Well, I was under the impression that you only worked with us in connection with Lee.

Uh, well, I was very upset and, uh, Billy was trying to console me.

Buck up, Mrs. King.

Yes. Thank you, that... that helps. I'd better go now.

I'm sick of being dead. I miss my apartment, I miss restaurants, I miss nightclubs.

This is probably very healthy for you. No, really. Real people do not go to restaurants and nightclubs every night, they stay home and make hamburgers and watch television.

Amanda. Are you going to try to make me into a real person again?

No. But the exposure certainly couldn't do you any harm.
