Scarecrow and Mrs. King · Season 1
He's kinda cute.
Who?
That agent, Mr. Stetson. The one in charge of security.
Oh, him.
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.
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?
Oh-hoh!
This is not an oh-hoh.
Oh.
Uh-uh. No, no. No. I don't know what that man wants.
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?
Eyes straight ahead, Scarecrow.
Well, who picked these out?
The computer did. It's Delano's favorite colors and designer.
Hmm. Did the computer also decide on the house?
Mm-hmm. Delano's favorite architect and décor.
Quite some computer.
Yeah. 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?
It's way after midnight, Cinderella.
What are you doing here?
Someone 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.
Aren'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?
I carried you.
He carried me.
Hey, everybody, drink up. We have just captured the leader of the most successful espionage ring in the country.
Uh, we?
Well, yeah, I like to think of us as one big, happy team around here. Sharing in the pain, sharing in the heartache.
Sharing the credit.
If I must.
Is it legal in this state to grow penicillin?
Amanda?
Yes, Mother?
Somebody's here to see you.
Oh, really? Who -- Oh, uh, Mother, this is Miss Desmond, she's one of my pet-sitting clients, I take care of her ... chimpanzee.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Well, won't you sit down? Oh, I just thought it was awfully enterprising when Amanda told me that she was going to start this service, taking care of people's pets and plants. I mean, it's not exactly what I had in mind when she went to college, but, I mean after all, what does one do with a degree in American lit?
Uh, I really have to be going, could I take a raincheck on that strudel?
Oh. All right. Be careful with that chimpanzee!
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.
Look. She has nothing to do with this.
Tell the big fella to keep quiet.
Quiet, big fella.
I don't know how anyone could mistake me for you, you're so much taller.
