Lee and Amanda in “Ship of Spies”

What are your plans for the next few days?

You mean this weekend?

This weekend, maybe a little longer.

Ah Mother and I have some shopping to do.

You can do that anytime.

No, no we really can’t because Mother needs to get a new coat, there’s a sale and she has to buy a coat. And there’s my friend Cindy Holcombe from college, I haven’t seen her in ten years and she’s gonna be in town and we’re gonna have lunch on Saturday.

Ten years?

Yeah, yeah ten years, but we write every Christmas and she’s gonna bring pictures of her little girl this time.

Hmm I can see why you wouldn’t want to miss that, a Cruise ship isn’t in the same league.

A cruise ship?

Yeah.

She’s gonna be here a couple weeks.

A luxury liner, I need somebody as part of my cover on a trip to the Caribbean.

Well you know she actually said next weekend would be better for her than this weekend.

Calypso bands, warm tropical breezes.

Lee, do you really need me?

I need you.

Well then that’s it, I’m there.
