[MAN GRO ANS NEARBY.]
[MAN GRO ANS NEARBY.]
[GRUNTS.]
All right.
Let's go over it one more time.
Why is a gardener using a radio transmitter in his truck? I already told you, we work by radio dispatch.
An Armstrong S-40 high-frequency transmitter is pretty sophisticated equipment for a gardener, don't you think? I wouldn't know.
But you would know, however that the S-40 is used by American intelligence agencies.
Look, I'm a gardener.
Uh-uh.
You're a liar.
[SAITO GRUNTS.]
I thought you'd gone.
- What is it, Harry? - I was, uh, just finishing up.
- Is something wrong? - No.
No, nothing.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night, Mr.
Delano.
What are you doing? I'm gonna help your gardener remember who his employers are.
- Is that really necessary? - I'm afraid it's quite necessary, Mr.
Delano.
What is it? Oh, it's an alkaloid substance called muscarine.
It will kill him quite uncomfortably within 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on his metabolism.
Unless, of course, you would care to reconsider.
[SAITO GRUNTING.]
You'll begin to perspire profusely, your pupils dilate.
There's a giddiness and a slowing of the heartbeat.
Am I right? Of course, here I have the antidote and if you can talk, a simple injection will alleviate all discomfort.
[AMANDA GRO ANING.]
Something wrong with your ankle? You're walking funny.
I was demonstrating the hook slide, and I think I hooked the wrong way.
Little League can be hazardous to your health.
[DOTTY CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Come on, guys, lighten up.
- I think defeat has leveled their appetites.
- Oh, now, come on.
Everybody has to be beaten every now and then.
Mom, we didn't get beaten.
We got liquidated.
Totally.
And they even had two girls on their team.
Well, that explains it.
[DOTTY LAUGHS.]
Since you're not gonna eat your dinner anyway why don't you just be excused? They'll get over it.
What was the score? - 21 to none.
- Hmm.
May take a while.
- Are you seeing Dean tonight? - No, he's out of town.
Oh, well, why don't we get a baby-sitter and go see that new movie where Richard Gere takes off his clothes.
- Mother.
Ha-ha-ha.
I'm just kidding.
Actually, I prefer, um, Cary Grant.
- With his clothes on.
- Yeah.
Well, no, I think I'm gonna just wash my hair and soak my foot and get into bed early.
- Good night.
- Good night.
That's sensible.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Got it.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- What are you doing tonight? - Tonight? - Well, I can't, I have plans tonight.
- Oh, no problem.
You should be able to break them by 9:00.
What do mean "break them"? This is a priority situation.
Meet me by the mall.
I'll explain then.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, all right.
Reflecting pool, uh, 9:00.
Well, yes, of course, I have a nice dress.
Sure.
[CHUCKLES.]
See you.
Okay, good night.
- What was that all about? - That was an old friend of mine, Chuck.
Uh, he's having a party.
Um, it's a get-together of all the alumni in the district and he invited me.
Oh, isn't that rather short notice? Well, yeah, you know, that's Chuck.
He's, uh He's a funny guy.
[CHUCKLES.]
[CHUCKLES.]
[GRO ANS.]
Oh.
Sorry I'm late.
- Do I look all right? - Huh? I said, do I look all right? - Yeah, fine, just fine.
- Thank you.
It would have been a lot easier to dress if I'd known where we were going.
[SIGHS.]
Well, where are we going? We are going to a reception for Quickie Chickie Snack Shack Backer.
Oh, my boys love Quickie Chickie Snack Shack.
They have the best french fries.
They have the only coleslaw that doesn't Why are we going to this? Because I'm gonna be slipped some information.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- What's my assignment? - To have a good time.
Well, why didn't you just go alone? On a Friday night at a party? Do you know how depressing that is? [CROWD CHATTERING.]
[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT SONG.]
Are we allowed to dance while you look for your contact? I do a pretty mean cha-cha.
Look, I'm gonna have to leave the room for a few minutes.
- Well, what am I supposed to do? - Well, keep having a good time.
[SIGHS.]
[MAN SPEAKING IN FRENCH.]
Hello.
[DRUM ROLLS.]
[CROWD APPLAUDING.]
Thank you.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I have some very exciting news I'd like to share with you.
I know that we've had some setbacks of late but tonight, I'm here to tell you that things are looking up for Quickie Chickie Chicken Shack.
[CROWD APPLAUDING.]
I am proud to announce that we have just concluded an agreement with the German Democratic Republic and soon, Quickie Chickie will flap its wings on both sides of the Berlin Wall.
It's your dime, Mr.
Singer.
First I need your assurance that I can get some protection.
- I called you because I'm scared.
- That'll depend on your information.
I work for James Delano.
I'm in a very delicate situation here.
I can appreciate that.
There's more than just the chicken deal going on between Delano and the East Germans.
Can you be more specific? I think Delano may have been involved in a murder last night.
[LAUGHING.]
Uh Will you excuse me? Excuse me.
I wondered why such a lovely lady was standing here looking so abandoned.
Well, I'm only temporarily abandoned.
I'm with someone.
If I were that someone, I wouldn't leave you alone for a moment.
- Ha, well - I'm James Delano.
It's nice to meet you.
- And you? - Me? What's your name? Oh, I'm, uh, um, Victoria Greenwich.
Well, it's nice to meet you.
- Is Delano in financial trouble? - He's borrowed to the hilt.
The banks are threatening to call in his loans.
Quickie Chickie is losing a fortune in the States.
He's counting on the German deal to bail him.
- What's Hollander's involvement? - He set up the deal with the East Germans.
He's been living at Delano's house for over a month.
All right, we're interested.
I'll get in touch.
If anybody finds out that I spoke to you Trust us, Mr.
Singer.
We know a thing or two about keeping a secret.
- What name did you give him? - Victoria Greenwich.
- What? - Victoria Greenwich.
She's the heroine of a novel that I'm reading.
She's an English noblewoman and she lives in a castle and her husband is awaiting execution Wait till you hear this.
She's some English noblewoman whose husband is locked in a tower - I'm impressed.
- You are? Amanda's thinking on her feet.
The woman has instincts.
- Did she give him a phone number? - She made one up.
Did you arrange for it to ring at her house? Yeah, but, Billy, I don't think that we should What about Singer? Is his information reliable? I don't know.
He's pretty shaky.
He heard a struggle in the study, so he hid.
He thinks he saw them carry our man's body outside.
- Yeah, sorry to hear about Saito.
- He was a good man.
We know the East Germans are shopping for hard intelligence on Pershing missile sites in Europe.
Their man is, uh, Hollander.
What else? Hollander picks James Delano as the perfect intermediary.
He needs cash badly, he has heavyweight Washington contacts some of whom may have access to Pershing missile intelligence.
- What's the quid pro quo? - Latin, Billy.
I'm impressed.
- At 1:00 in the morning, you should be.
- Heh.
I need to know who Delano's giving the East Germans.
If we could get inside that house and make a sweep, we might find out.
- Which brings us to Amanda.
- Yeah.
Billy, she couldn't sweep the kitchen floor.
You did say that Delano was quite attracted to her.
- He took the number she gave him.
- Yes.
So he calls her up, invites her out which gives us a little time to get in there with a team and check things out.
Now, we'll put a mike on Amanda, we'll know where he is all the time.
- She'll be in no danger.
- Billy James Delano is a man with money, contacts, women on every continent.
Beautiful, exotic, mysterious women.
You think he's gonna be fascinated by a wholesome mom with a mortgage and a station wagon? Who knows? Maybe he finds Amanda exotic and mysterious.
Think about it.
Amanda.
Exotic.
Mysterious.
- Well, good morning.
AMANDA: Good morning.
- How was the party? - Oh, it was just wonderful.
- How's Chuck? - Who? Chuck.
Unpredictable Chuck? - Chuck? - Chuck.
- Chuck.
- Chuck.
Oh.
Oh, just fine.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello.
Who? Victoria Greenwich? [LAUGHS.]
- I'm sorry - Mother, Mother [WHISPERS.]
it's for me.
[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Hello? Ah, uh, yes, this is she.
Well, hello, Mr.
Delano it's, uh It's nice to talk to you too.
BILLY: What did he say? Well, he told me how much he enjoyed meeting me last night and What did you say? It was hard to talk, my mother was in the room but I told her that Victoria Greenwich was the name of a character in a play that I tried out for - No, what did you say to him? - I told him I didn't know.
You didn't know what? Whether or not I could go to dinner with him tonight.
- He invited you to dinner? - Doesn't surprise me.
The thing is the Bombers have an important game with the Silver Springs Swordfish tonight.
Their morale is low.
I'm afraid if I'm not there You didn't tell him about the Little Leaguers, did you? Oh, no, sir.
Oh, no.
I knew that Victoria Greenwich shouldn't be the manager of a Little League baseball team.
[SCOFFS.]
All right.
Let's get moving.
- We'll make a sweep and a scenario.
- Oh, uh, yes, sir.
Now, I understand what a sweep is, but I don't know what a scenario is.
The life story of Victoria Greenwich.
Uh, Mr.
Melrose Victoria Greenwich is the heroine of a romantic novel that I'm reading.
- She doesn't - Not when we get done with her.
AMANDA: It's gorgeous.
- This is where Victoria Greenwich lives.
Well, she has the prettiest house on the whole block.
Yeah, that's not all she has.
Come on.
This is terrific.
Would you look at that chandelier? That is beautiful.
And the moldings, I think this is all original moldings.
It's French provincial, isn't it? It's my favorite.
I love it.
Here's your help.
- Frederic, your butler, and Mary, your maid.
- A pleasure, Miss Greenwich.
Hello, it's nice to meet you too.
Yes.
Let me show you the upstairs.
- Do they know? - They're agents.
Oh.
- So the agency set all this up, huh? - Yeah, it's fairly routine.
It's called writing a scenario or game-playing.
- Mm-hm.
The scenario boys compile all the data we have on James Delano particularly his taste in women.
Victoria Greenwich becomes a composite of all the women he's been involved with and believe me, there have been quite a few.
[AMANDA CHUCKLES.]
It's all done with computers.
- Heh.
Well, who picked these out? - The computer did.
- Delano's favorite colors and designer.
- Hmm.
Did the computer also decide on the house? Mm-hm.
Delano's favorite architect and decor.
Quite some computer.
The, uh, computer also suggests that you wear your hair up.
Why don't you let the computer put the dress on and go out with him tonight too? [LEE SCOFFS.]
All the information you need is here in this dossier.
- Now, you have a lot of homework to do.
- Mm-hm.
I'll just hit the highlights.
All right.
Victoria Greenwich was born of American parents in the diplomatic service in Milan.
She was educated in a Swiss boarding school and at Mount Holyoke she - Are you listening to me? - Mm-hm.
- She met Peter Greenwich, a British viscount, and later married him.
Lord Greenwich's private plane went down in Afghanistan where he was on an archaeological dig.
I divide my time between the house in Portofino and the chalet in Gstaad.
Peter's plane went down in Afghanistan, you know.
AMANDA [ON RADIO.]
: Since then, it's been more and more difficult to spend time in the house in Portofino.
Memories, you know.
We're picking up some dress rustle.
Did you explain to her how to pin the brooch? Three times.
So I've been traveling.
Drifting, really.
- Just trying not to mope.
- Yes, of course.
It must be very difficult for you.
It was difficult at first.
I I'd see Peter's face in the boathouse in Greece or the townhouse in Rome or in Paris at the consulate where my father works.
The boathouse is in Spain, the townhouse is in London, the consulate is in Milan.
To whomever was responsible for bringing you last night.
Well, it wasn't really anyone who You know Never mind.
I don't wanna know.
I'm just glad you were there.
Why haven't we met before? Can you believe him? I had a better line in high school.
AMANDA: Well, you know how it is.
- No.
Tell us.
You travel a lot, you meet all sorts of people but you never really meet the ones you wanna meet, you know? Do you believe in reincarnation? Maybe we met in another lifetime.
You see, sometimes I think that maybe I really lived once before during the War of the Roses.
And I was a countess who lived in a huge, beautiful castle with acres of land.
What is she talking about? AMANDA: And my husband, the count, was imprisoned in the Tower of London and then one night, it was a dark, stormy night his enemies came and they took me away.
So when they brought me to the gallows I just looked at the executioner and smiled serenely because I knew I wasn't going to die.
I'm so glad you didn't.
Victoria Greenwich, where have you been all my life? Which life? That's a lovely brooch.
- May I see it? - No.
Oh.
[BROOCH BANGS O VER RADIO.]
- What was that? - She dropped it.
Uh - How clumsy of me.
- No, it was my - Uh, if you'll excuse me, I'll just - Yes, of course.
To the ladies' room.
Fast.
Well, you could at least give me equipment that works.
- Who told you to drop it? - I didn't drop it.
He tried to look at it and it fell on the table.
Spend more time paying attention to what you're supposed to do.
What is it I'm supposed to be doing? - I'm running out of things to say.
- It didn't sound like that.
Look, all you have to do is keep him mildly distracted while we sweep his house.
By the way, you're not falling for that guy's line, are you? What line? Look, you may think Jim's no good but I think he's charming and I think he's sincere.
- Jim? - Yeah.
[LEE SCOFFS.]
Have you any idea how many women Jim has been sincere with? - I don't believe it.
- Dozens.
- No, you.
- What about me? - You're sounding like a jealous person.
- I am not j You have no right to act like a jealous person.
Here.
Look.
You just take this little thing, get it out of my life.
Go back in your truck do whatever you're doing and don't eavesdrop on me.
LEE: Wait a minute.
Just one Amanda.
This isn't the kitchen.
I've been duped.
I demand to see the chef.
Excuse me, please.
Is this where the lovely lady about town invites her escort in for a nightcap? Well, I'd love to, but I have to get up awfully early in the morning.
I have a million things to do.
- Will I see you Saturday night then? - I don't know.
I'll be very disappointed if you can't come.
Here's my card.
Eight o'clock.
Until then.
Good night.
Thank you.
No, no, that's all right, I can see myself up.
- Good night.
- I had a lovely time, thank you.
Good night.
- Hello.
- I trust madam had a pleasant evening? Yes, thank you very much.
- I'll just catch the jewelry.
- You don't have to wait on me.
- I know that you're not - Who's waiting? This stuff's worth a 150 thousand smackers.
- It goes right back into storage.
- Oh, I see.
Earrings.
Yes.
Sure.
I know.
I see.
AMANDA: Here you are.
Bracelets.
MARY: Bracelets.
- Okay, and brooch.
- Oh, the brooch.
Ha, ha.
I didn't forget the brooch.
- Just sign the receipt, would you? - Yes, sure.
- Thank you.
- It's way after midnight, Cinderella.
[CHUCKLES.]
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.
It's time for me to slip into a phone booth and turn back into Amanda King.
Amanda, we went to a lot of trouble to set this thing up.
We scrambled the TV signal we had Singer tell his servants our people were there to fix the reception.
Um - What did they find out? - Unfortunately not much.
Went through Hollander's things, we found a few deutsche marks, a passport a return airline ticket to Munich with a connecting flight to Berlin - Wait a minute.
- Hmm.
- Who's Hollander? - He's working with Delano.
The ticket's for Sunday.
They'll be making their move between now and then.
Now, what were you saying about your evening? [PHONE RINGS.]
I wasn't going to say anything at all about it.
A Mr.
Singer, telephone for you at the agency, Scarecrow.
- They're patching it through this phone.
- Thank you.
- Would you hold this, please? - Yeah, sure.
Yes, Harry.
There's nothing much in the safe, Mr.
Stetson, just overdue bank notes.
All right.
I want you to think carefully now.
Is there anything significant or out of the ordinary with Delano's plans between Sunday and now? [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Har? Harry? Must be on hold.
Come in.
Has Mr.
Delano come back yet, Harry? All right, I'll wait for him in the living room, huh? Oh, by the way, the opera tickets were wonderful.
Thank you very much.
The seats were wonderful, but the performance was a little indifferent.
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
That was Hollander.
He's back.
Uh, only thing that I can think of is the party.
What party? He's having a party for East German ambassador here Saturday night.
A lot of really top government and military officials.
Black tie.
- Can you get a hold of the guest list? - I think so.
LEE [O VER PHONE.]
: You get it.
Meet me at 7:00 tomorrow in front of the War Memorial at Rock Creek Park.
[ICE CREAM TRUCK PLAYING JINGLE.]
Harry.
[TIRES SQUEAL.]
Harry, get out of here.
- I wish you'd gotten that list.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Billy.
By the time I got to Harry, he was dead and the list was gone.
- He did say a lot of dignitaries were coming.
- The cream of Washington society.
Except that one of these distinguished people is a traitor.
LEE: Hmm.
The setup's not bad.
If you're an important person you've got something hot to pass the best place to do it's in a room full of other important people.
- We've got to get you in there somehow.
- They know Harry was talking to us.
Uh-oh.
- I know that look.
- All she's to do is open the door for you.
- She can't even keep a wire on right.
- She doesn't need a wire.
Didn't you tell me that Delano was quite taken with her? Well, surely she can use her charm to get herself invited.
Charm? - Be careful, please.
- Sorry, Mr.
Delano.
Isn't it a little bit early to be so short-tempered, James? Here.
Have your poached egg.
Leave me, Franco.
Don't go nibbling your nails.
Why undo Franco's fine work? Hmm? - You didn't have to kill Singer.
- The man betrayed you, Mr.
Delano.
The man was in my employ.
I reserve the right to dismiss my employees as I see fit.
And that rarely includes homicide.
He should have kept his mouth shut.
He was planning to give the guest list for the party to some American agents.
We'll call it off.
- We'll call the whole deal off.
- It's a little too late for that.
Who do you think you are? I don't take orders from you.
Mr.
Delano, may I remind you that you and your company were headed for financial disaster? You need us.
It's not worth Harry's life.
How about yours? Are you threatening me? [LAUGHS.]
No, of course not.
Here.
Feel free to go to the police.
Here.
Call them, go ahead.
Tell them about Harry and your American agent.
About how you arranged the exclusive selling rights of that plastic chicken of yours in East Germany.
Tell them all.
Go ahead.
Spill your guts.
Soak your cuticles, James.
It really does help.
- I'm sorry I'm late, I had to take the boys - Little League game? No.
PTA.
We're organizing a cake sale.
- Ah, about last night, I lost my head - Oh, I'm sorry, I really [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Amanda, trust me.
James Delano is no one to get involved with.
Oh, I'm not getting involved with James Delano.
It's just that I've never known anyone like him before.
And I've never been anyone like Victoria Greenwich before, you know? It's just kind of like a fantasy you have when you're a kid, you understand.
Yeah, you know what happens to some of those fantasies, don't you? You grow up and you find out how lousy things really are.
I used to have fantasies about secret agents.
[CHUCKLES.]
[CLEARS THRO AT.]
What do you want me to do? We want you to continue your relationship with James Delano.
Yeah, all right, well What? We're convinced that he's about to be passed some sensitive information.
I have a feeling this is the part where the fantasy gets lousy? It shouldn't be dangerous if you do exactly what you're told.
First, we want you to get yourself invited to a party that he's giving Saturday night.
- Is that all? - It may not be that easy.
He may not call you again though he did seem quite taken with you.
Now, if he doesn't call in a day or two, you'll have to call him.
You say something about Saturday, ask him if he has any plans sort of put him in a position where he has to invite you because you'll find out about the party.
So then we'll work out a scenario and - Amanda, this is a very delicate situation.
- No problem.
- He invited me last night.
- What? Now, what do you want me to do? LEE: Circulate, stay out of trouble.
Try not to call unnecessary attention to yourself.
- No cha-cha, huh? - Heh.
No cha-cha.
Now, after the party's in full swing go to the study, flick the lights three times, open the French doors then go back to the party.
- That's all? - That's all.
[SIGHS.]
- What's gonna happen to him? - I don't know.
Amanda, in this kind of work you have to keep your feelings separate from your job.
Yes, I'm learning that.
Remember what I said about fantasies? - Thank you.
- Hey.
You look fabulous.
Hello.
- Your name? - Miss Greenwich.
WOMAN: Your coat, madam.
- Thank you, madam.
DELANO: Uh, would you excuse me? - Hello.
- I'm so glad you could come.
Thank you.
Would you like some champagne? - What a lovely home.
- Thank you.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH.]
Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Hollander.
Tell me, Miss Greenwich, where are you from? Oh, uh, here and there, I travel quite a bit.
- Do you know Europe? - Miss Greenwich has a house in Rome and a ski chalet in Gstaad.
- Nice place, Gstaad.
Unfortunately the skiing was very disappointing this year, was it not? Oh, yes, very.
Excuse us.
Uh, I'd like to show Miss Greenwich the view from the terrace.
Of course.
It's really beautiful.
So are you.
[SINGING "DIE WINTERREISE".]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Excuse me, ma'am.
May I help you? Yes, could you, uh? Could you tell me where the powder room is? Oh, thank you.
HOLLANDER: This way here, come in, please.
DELANO: Hollander, this will be fine in here.
Let's just get this thing over with.
I believe the figure agreed upon, Mr.
Commoran, is $200,000.
That's right.
HOLLANDER: Well, we're certainly very anxious to see what we are purchasing.
Yes.
Uh, yes, and get the lights, please.
Quite remarkable.
Almost as good as being there.
Mr.
Commoran, continue.
COMMORAN: You're looking at Pershing missiles.
Approximately two dozen.
I've circled the white mounds which there on the ground look like haystacks.
The other circles are around farmhouses, which look quite innocent on the ground.
All of these structures house missiles.
The orientation of which is south-southwest.
These other photographs are pages from a secret study demonstrating the vulnerability of the system.
I think we've seen enough.
Lights, please.
The money, Mr.
Delano.
It's all there, Mr.
Commoran.
Though I shouldn't count it now if I were you.
Shall we rejoin the party? [AMANDA GASPS.]
Good evening.
Is there something wrong with the lights, Miss Greenwich? Not that I know of.
If you'll excuse me, I think I'll just Will you come with me? Please? [CROWD APPLAUDING.]
[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING.]
[WOMAN SINGING.]
Please, this way.
Checkmate.
Now, Miss Greenwich, who are you working for? [CHUCKLES.]
I really don't know what you're talking about.
My dear, who do you think we are, children? Your story, of course, was preposterous.
- What story? - Gstaad.
If you really were there this winter you will know that skiing was the best it's been for 20 years.
Now, what is your real name? Victoria Greenwich.
I do dislike hitting women.
Perhaps this will make you remember who you are? Would you believe me if I told you that I was just a suburban lady with two small boys, a station wagon and a Little League team on a bad losing streak? Mm-mm.
In that case, I'll scream.
Nobody will hear you, because of the music.
Oh, it's lovely, isn't it? [AMANDA SCREAMING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[CROWD APPLAUDING FROM BELOW.]
All right, what's in the injection? You tell me what's in the injection or I'll blow your brains all over this room.
Be my guest.
And you know I won't talk.
We're both in the same business.
[WOMAN SINGING FROM BELOW.]
[SONG STOPS.]
All right, what did he give her? You tell me, because you know she doesn't deserve this.
I'm sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
Damn it, man, don't you apologize! If anything happens to her I swear to you, you'll do your time in a wheelchair.
Now, you talk to me fast.
It was muscarine.
Ten cc's.
[SIREN WAILING.]
She's stabilized, Mr.
Stetson.
She'll be all right.
I, uh I guess this one got a little rough.
I'm sorry.
You did a hell of a job.
You really did.
You might even make a decent agent someday.
Thank you.
You're awake? Oh, porter, please wake me when we get to Portofino.
Thank you.
MAN [ON TV.]
: And tonight, Mrs.
Roston [KNOCKING ON WINDOW.]
MAN [ON TV.]
: You are about to meet the mother you once had but never knew it.
Because this is your lucky day.
- Hi.
LEE: Hi.
You're getting awful good at knocking on my kitchen window.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Uh, am I interrupting anything? - Supper dishes.
Victoria Greenwich may not do dishes, but Amanda King has a sinkful.
Yeah.
- You're going to miss her, aren't you? - Oh, well, sure.
A little bit.
[LEE CHUCKLES.]
So, what are you doing in my garden at 7:30 at night? Um, just checking.
- I wanted to see if you were all right.
- I'm I'm fine, yeah.
Listen, you know, there's something been bothering me all day long and I just Now, I know that they give you, um, sedatives and things in that ambulance um, I just wondered if, uh did you say something nice to me? - Like what? I was dreaming.
- Sedatives does things to your mind.
- Yeah.
I better go back inside and help Jamie with his fractions.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
- Right.
- Okay.
- Uh, I'll just let myself out.
- Oh, all right.
Bye.
- See you around.
- Hmm.
Okay.
- Oh, Lee? - Yeah.
- How did you get me out of there? - I carried you.
Carried me.
[MAN GRO ANS NEARBY.]
[GRUNTS.]
All right.
Let's go over it one more time.
Why is a gardener using a radio transmitter in his truck? I already told you, we work by radio dispatch.
An Armstrong S-40 high-frequency transmitter is pretty sophisticated equipment for a gardener, don't you think? I wouldn't know.
But you would know, however that the S-40 is used by American intelligence agencies.
Look, I'm a gardener.
Uh-uh.
You're a liar.
[SAITO GRUNTS.]
I thought you'd gone.
- What is it, Harry? - I was, uh, just finishing up.
- Is something wrong? - No.
No, nothing.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night, Mr.
Delano.
What are you doing? I'm gonna help your gardener remember who his employers are.
- Is that really necessary? - I'm afraid it's quite necessary, Mr.
Delano.
What is it? Oh, it's an alkaloid substance called muscarine.
It will kill him quite uncomfortably within 45 minutes to an hour and a half depending on his metabolism.
Unless, of course, you would care to reconsider.
[SAITO GRUNTING.]
You'll begin to perspire profusely, your pupils dilate.
There's a giddiness and a slowing of the heartbeat.
Am I right? Of course, here I have the antidote and if you can talk, a simple injection will alleviate all discomfort.
[AMANDA GRO ANING.]
Something wrong with your ankle? You're walking funny.
I was demonstrating the hook slide, and I think I hooked the wrong way.
Little League can be hazardous to your health.
[DOTTY CHUCKLES.]
Hey.
Come on, guys, lighten up.
- I think defeat has leveled their appetites.
- Oh, now, come on.
Everybody has to be beaten every now and then.
Mom, we didn't get beaten.
We got liquidated.
Totally.
And they even had two girls on their team.
Well, that explains it.
[DOTTY LAUGHS.]
Since you're not gonna eat your dinner anyway why don't you just be excused? They'll get over it.
What was the score? - 21 to none.
- Hmm.
May take a while.
- Are you seeing Dean tonight? - No, he's out of town.
Oh, well, why don't we get a baby-sitter and go see that new movie where Richard Gere takes off his clothes.
- Mother.
Ha-ha-ha.
I'm just kidding.
Actually, I prefer, um, Cary Grant.
- With his clothes on.
- Yeah.
Well, no, I think I'm gonna just wash my hair and soak my foot and get into bed early.
- Good night.
- Good night.
That's sensible.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Got it.
- Hello.
- Hi.
- What are you doing tonight? - Tonight? - Well, I can't, I have plans tonight.
- Oh, no problem.
You should be able to break them by 9:00.
What do mean "break them"? This is a priority situation.
Meet me by the mall.
I'll explain then.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, all right.
Reflecting pool, uh, 9:00.
Well, yes, of course, I have a nice dress.
Sure.
[CHUCKLES.]
See you.
Okay, good night.
- What was that all about? - That was an old friend of mine, Chuck.
Uh, he's having a party.
Um, it's a get-together of all the alumni in the district and he invited me.
Oh, isn't that rather short notice? Well, yeah, you know, that's Chuck.
He's, uh He's a funny guy.
[CHUCKLES.]
[CHUCKLES.]
[GRO ANS.]
Oh.
Sorry I'm late.
- Do I look all right? - Huh? I said, do I look all right? - Yeah, fine, just fine.
- Thank you.
It would have been a lot easier to dress if I'd known where we were going.
[SIGHS.]
Well, where are we going? We are going to a reception for Quickie Chickie Snack Shack Backer.
Oh, my boys love Quickie Chickie Snack Shack.
They have the best french fries.
They have the only coleslaw that doesn't Why are we going to this? Because I'm gonna be slipped some information.
- Oh.
- Yeah.
- What's my assignment? - To have a good time.
Well, why didn't you just go alone? On a Friday night at a party? Do you know how depressing that is? [CROWD CHATTERING.]
[BAND PLAYING UPBEAT SONG.]
Are we allowed to dance while you look for your contact? I do a pretty mean cha-cha.
Look, I'm gonna have to leave the room for a few minutes.
- Well, what am I supposed to do? - Well, keep having a good time.
[SIGHS.]
[MAN SPEAKING IN FRENCH.]
Hello.
[DRUM ROLLS.]
[CROWD APPLAUDING.]
Thank you.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
I have some very exciting news I'd like to share with you.
I know that we've had some setbacks of late but tonight, I'm here to tell you that things are looking up for Quickie Chickie Chicken Shack.
[CROWD APPLAUDING.]
I am proud to announce that we have just concluded an agreement with the German Democratic Republic and soon, Quickie Chickie will flap its wings on both sides of the Berlin Wall.
It's your dime, Mr.
Singer.
First I need your assurance that I can get some protection.
- I called you because I'm scared.
- That'll depend on your information.
I work for James Delano.
I'm in a very delicate situation here.
I can appreciate that.
There's more than just the chicken deal going on between Delano and the East Germans.
Can you be more specific? I think Delano may have been involved in a murder last night.
[LAUGHING.]
Uh Will you excuse me? Excuse me.
I wondered why such a lovely lady was standing here looking so abandoned.
Well, I'm only temporarily abandoned.
I'm with someone.
If I were that someone, I wouldn't leave you alone for a moment.
- Ha, well - I'm James Delano.
It's nice to meet you.
- And you? - Me? What's your name? Oh, I'm, uh, um, Victoria Greenwich.
Well, it's nice to meet you.
- Is Delano in financial trouble? - He's borrowed to the hilt.
The banks are threatening to call in his loans.
Quickie Chickie is losing a fortune in the States.
He's counting on the German deal to bail him.
- What's Hollander's involvement? - He set up the deal with the East Germans.
He's been living at Delano's house for over a month.
All right, we're interested.
I'll get in touch.
If anybody finds out that I spoke to you Trust us, Mr.
Singer.
We know a thing or two about keeping a secret.
- What name did you give him? - Victoria Greenwich.
- What? - Victoria Greenwich.
She's the heroine of a novel that I'm reading.
She's an English noblewoman and she lives in a castle and her husband is awaiting execution Wait till you hear this.
She's some English noblewoman whose husband is locked in a tower - I'm impressed.
- You are? Amanda's thinking on her feet.
The woman has instincts.
- Did she give him a phone number? - She made one up.
Did you arrange for it to ring at her house? Yeah, but, Billy, I don't think that we should What about Singer? Is his information reliable? I don't know.
He's pretty shaky.
He heard a struggle in the study, so he hid.
He thinks he saw them carry our man's body outside.
- Yeah, sorry to hear about Saito.
- He was a good man.
We know the East Germans are shopping for hard intelligence on Pershing missile sites in Europe.
Their man is, uh, Hollander.
What else? Hollander picks James Delano as the perfect intermediary.
He needs cash badly, he has heavyweight Washington contacts some of whom may have access to Pershing missile intelligence.
- What's the quid pro quo? - Latin, Billy.
I'm impressed.
- At 1:00 in the morning, you should be.
- Heh.
I need to know who Delano's giving the East Germans.
If we could get inside that house and make a sweep, we might find out.
- Which brings us to Amanda.
- Yeah.
Billy, she couldn't sweep the kitchen floor.
You did say that Delano was quite attracted to her.
- He took the number she gave him.
- Yes.
So he calls her up, invites her out which gives us a little time to get in there with a team and check things out.
Now, we'll put a mike on Amanda, we'll know where he is all the time.
- She'll be in no danger.
- Billy James Delano is a man with money, contacts, women on every continent.
Beautiful, exotic, mysterious women.
You think he's gonna be fascinated by a wholesome mom with a mortgage and a station wagon? Who knows? Maybe he finds Amanda exotic and mysterious.
Think about it.
Amanda.
Exotic.
Mysterious.
- Well, good morning.
AMANDA: Good morning.
- How was the party? - Oh, it was just wonderful.
- How's Chuck? - Who? Chuck.
Unpredictable Chuck? - Chuck? - Chuck.
- Chuck.
- Chuck.
Oh.
Oh, just fine.
[PHONE RINGS.]
Hello.
Who? Victoria Greenwich? [LAUGHS.]
- I'm sorry - Mother, Mother [WHISPERS.]
it's for me.
[IN NORMAL VOICE.]
Hello? Ah, uh, yes, this is she.
Well, hello, Mr.
Delano it's, uh It's nice to talk to you too.
BILLY: What did he say? Well, he told me how much he enjoyed meeting me last night and What did you say? It was hard to talk, my mother was in the room but I told her that Victoria Greenwich was the name of a character in a play that I tried out for - No, what did you say to him? - I told him I didn't know.
You didn't know what? Whether or not I could go to dinner with him tonight.
- He invited you to dinner? - Doesn't surprise me.
The thing is the Bombers have an important game with the Silver Springs Swordfish tonight.
Their morale is low.
I'm afraid if I'm not there You didn't tell him about the Little Leaguers, did you? Oh, no, sir.
Oh, no.
I knew that Victoria Greenwich shouldn't be the manager of a Little League baseball team.
[SCOFFS.]
All right.
Let's get moving.
- We'll make a sweep and a scenario.
- Oh, uh, yes, sir.
Now, I understand what a sweep is, but I don't know what a scenario is.
The life story of Victoria Greenwich.
Uh, Mr.
Melrose Victoria Greenwich is the heroine of a romantic novel that I'm reading.
- She doesn't - Not when we get done with her.
AMANDA: It's gorgeous.
- This is where Victoria Greenwich lives.
Well, she has the prettiest house on the whole block.
Yeah, that's not all she has.
Come on.
This is terrific.
Would you look at that chandelier? That is beautiful.
And the moldings, I think this is all original moldings.
It's French provincial, isn't it? It's my favorite.
I love it.
Here's your help.
- Frederic, your butler, and Mary, your maid.
- A pleasure, Miss Greenwich.
Hello, it's nice to meet you too.
Yes.
Let me show you the upstairs.
- Do they know? - They're agents.
Oh.
- So the agency set all this up, huh? - Yeah, it's fairly routine.
It's called writing a scenario or game-playing.
- Mm-hm.
The scenario boys compile all the data we have on James Delano particularly his taste in women.
Victoria Greenwich becomes a composite of all the women he's been involved with and believe me, there have been quite a few.
[AMANDA CHUCKLES.]
It's all done with computers.
- Heh.
Well, who picked these out? - The computer did.
- Delano's favorite colors and designer.
- Hmm.
Did the computer also decide on the house? Mm-hm.
Delano's favorite architect and decor.
Quite some computer.
The, uh, computer also suggests that you wear your hair up.
Why don't you let the computer put the dress on and go out with him tonight too? [LEE SCOFFS.]
All the information you need is here in this dossier.
- Now, you have a lot of homework to do.
- Mm-hm.
I'll just hit the highlights.
All right.
Victoria Greenwich was born of American parents in the diplomatic service in Milan.
She was educated in a Swiss boarding school and at Mount Holyoke she - Are you listening to me? - Mm-hm.
- She met Peter Greenwich, a British viscount, and later married him.
Lord Greenwich's private plane went down in Afghanistan where he was on an archaeological dig.
I divide my time between the house in Portofino and the chalet in Gstaad.
Peter's plane went down in Afghanistan, you know.
AMANDA [ON RADIO.]
: Since then, it's been more and more difficult to spend time in the house in Portofino.
Memories, you know.
We're picking up some dress rustle.
Did you explain to her how to pin the brooch? Three times.
So I've been traveling.
Drifting, really.
- Just trying not to mope.
- Yes, of course.
It must be very difficult for you.
It was difficult at first.
I I'd see Peter's face in the boathouse in Greece or the townhouse in Rome or in Paris at the consulate where my father works.
The boathouse is in Spain, the townhouse is in London, the consulate is in Milan.
To whomever was responsible for bringing you last night.
Well, it wasn't really anyone who You know Never mind.
I don't wanna know.
I'm just glad you were there.
Why haven't we met before? Can you believe him? I had a better line in high school.
AMANDA: Well, you know how it is.
- No.
Tell us.
You travel a lot, you meet all sorts of people but you never really meet the ones you wanna meet, you know? Do you believe in reincarnation? Maybe we met in another lifetime.
You see, sometimes I think that maybe I really lived once before during the War of the Roses.
And I was a countess who lived in a huge, beautiful castle with acres of land.
What is she talking about? AMANDA: And my husband, the count, was imprisoned in the Tower of London and then one night, it was a dark, stormy night his enemies came and they took me away.
So when they brought me to the gallows I just looked at the executioner and smiled serenely because I knew I wasn't going to die.
I'm so glad you didn't.
Victoria Greenwich, where have you been all my life? Which life? That's a lovely brooch.
- May I see it? - No.
Oh.
[BROOCH BANGS O VER RADIO.]
- What was that? - She dropped it.
Uh - How clumsy of me.
- No, it was my - Uh, if you'll excuse me, I'll just - Yes, of course.
To the ladies' room.
Fast.
Well, you could at least give me equipment that works.
- Who told you to drop it? - I didn't drop it.
He tried to look at it and it fell on the table.
Spend more time paying attention to what you're supposed to do.
What is it I'm supposed to be doing? - I'm running out of things to say.
- It didn't sound like that.
Look, all you have to do is keep him mildly distracted while we sweep his house.
By the way, you're not falling for that guy's line, are you? What line? Look, you may think Jim's no good but I think he's charming and I think he's sincere.
- Jim? - Yeah.
[LEE SCOFFS.]
Have you any idea how many women Jim has been sincere with? - I don't believe it.
- Dozens.
- No, you.
- What about me? - You're sounding like a jealous person.
- I am not j You have no right to act like a jealous person.
Here.
Look.
You just take this little thing, get it out of my life.
Go back in your truck do whatever you're doing and don't eavesdrop on me.
LEE: Wait a minute.
Just one Amanda.
This isn't the kitchen.
I've been duped.
I demand to see the chef.
Excuse me, please.
Is this where the lovely lady about town invites her escort in for a nightcap? Well, I'd love to, but I have to get up awfully early in the morning.
I have a million things to do.
- Will I see you Saturday night then? - I don't know.
I'll be very disappointed if you can't come.
Here's my card.
Eight o'clock.
Until then.
Good night.
Thank you.
No, no, that's all right, I can see myself up.
- Good night.
- I had a lovely time, thank you.
Good night.
- Hello.
- I trust madam had a pleasant evening? Yes, thank you very much.
- I'll just catch the jewelry.
- You don't have to wait on me.
- I know that you're not - Who's waiting? This stuff's worth a 150 thousand smackers.
- It goes right back into storage.
- Oh, I see.
Earrings.
Yes.
Sure.
I know.
I see.
AMANDA: Here you are.
Bracelets.
MARY: Bracelets.
- Okay, and brooch.
- Oh, the brooch.
Ha, ha.
I didn't forget the brooch.
- Just sign the receipt, would you? - Yes, sure.
- Thank you.
- It's way after midnight, Cinderella.
[CHUCKLES.]
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.
It's time for me to slip into a phone booth and turn back into Amanda King.
Amanda, we went to a lot of trouble to set this thing up.
We scrambled the TV signal we had Singer tell his servants our people were there to fix the reception.
Um - What did they find out? - Unfortunately not much.
Went through Hollander's things, we found a few deutsche marks, a passport a return airline ticket to Munich with a connecting flight to Berlin - Wait a minute.
- Hmm.
- Who's Hollander? - He's working with Delano.
The ticket's for Sunday.
They'll be making their move between now and then.
Now, what were you saying about your evening? [PHONE RINGS.]
I wasn't going to say anything at all about it.
A Mr.
Singer, telephone for you at the agency, Scarecrow.
- They're patching it through this phone.
- Thank you.
- Would you hold this, please? - Yeah, sure.
Yes, Harry.
There's nothing much in the safe, Mr.
Stetson, just overdue bank notes.
All right.
I want you to think carefully now.
Is there anything significant or out of the ordinary with Delano's plans between Sunday and now? [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
Har? Harry? Must be on hold.
Come in.
Has Mr.
Delano come back yet, Harry? All right, I'll wait for him in the living room, huh? Oh, by the way, the opera tickets were wonderful.
Thank you very much.
The seats were wonderful, but the performance was a little indifferent.
- Thank you.
- Anytime.
That was Hollander.
He's back.
Uh, only thing that I can think of is the party.
What party? He's having a party for East German ambassador here Saturday night.
A lot of really top government and military officials.
Black tie.
- Can you get a hold of the guest list? - I think so.
LEE [O VER PHONE.]
: You get it.
Meet me at 7:00 tomorrow in front of the War Memorial at Rock Creek Park.
[ICE CREAM TRUCK PLAYING JINGLE.]
Harry.
[TIRES SQUEAL.]
Harry, get out of here.
- I wish you'd gotten that list.
- Oh, I'm sorry, Billy.
By the time I got to Harry, he was dead and the list was gone.
- He did say a lot of dignitaries were coming.
- The cream of Washington society.
Except that one of these distinguished people is a traitor.
LEE: Hmm.
The setup's not bad.
If you're an important person you've got something hot to pass the best place to do it's in a room full of other important people.
- We've got to get you in there somehow.
- They know Harry was talking to us.
Uh-oh.
- I know that look.
- All she's to do is open the door for you.
- She can't even keep a wire on right.
- She doesn't need a wire.
Didn't you tell me that Delano was quite taken with her? Well, surely she can use her charm to get herself invited.
Charm? - Be careful, please.
- Sorry, Mr.
Delano.
Isn't it a little bit early to be so short-tempered, James? Here.
Have your poached egg.
Leave me, Franco.
Don't go nibbling your nails.
Why undo Franco's fine work? Hmm? - You didn't have to kill Singer.
- The man betrayed you, Mr.
Delano.
The man was in my employ.
I reserve the right to dismiss my employees as I see fit.
And that rarely includes homicide.
He should have kept his mouth shut.
He was planning to give the guest list for the party to some American agents.
We'll call it off.
- We'll call the whole deal off.
- It's a little too late for that.
Who do you think you are? I don't take orders from you.
Mr.
Delano, may I remind you that you and your company were headed for financial disaster? You need us.
It's not worth Harry's life.
How about yours? Are you threatening me? [LAUGHS.]
No, of course not.
Here.
Feel free to go to the police.
Here.
Call them, go ahead.
Tell them about Harry and your American agent.
About how you arranged the exclusive selling rights of that plastic chicken of yours in East Germany.
Tell them all.
Go ahead.
Spill your guts.
Soak your cuticles, James.
It really does help.
- I'm sorry I'm late, I had to take the boys - Little League game? No.
PTA.
We're organizing a cake sale.
- Ah, about last night, I lost my head - Oh, I'm sorry, I really [BOTH CHUCKLE.]
Amanda, trust me.
James Delano is no one to get involved with.
Oh, I'm not getting involved with James Delano.
It's just that I've never known anyone like him before.
And I've never been anyone like Victoria Greenwich before, you know? It's just kind of like a fantasy you have when you're a kid, you understand.
Yeah, you know what happens to some of those fantasies, don't you? You grow up and you find out how lousy things really are.
I used to have fantasies about secret agents.
[CHUCKLES.]
[CLEARS THRO AT.]
What do you want me to do? We want you to continue your relationship with James Delano.
Yeah, all right, well What? We're convinced that he's about to be passed some sensitive information.
I have a feeling this is the part where the fantasy gets lousy? It shouldn't be dangerous if you do exactly what you're told.
First, we want you to get yourself invited to a party that he's giving Saturday night.
- Is that all? - It may not be that easy.
He may not call you again though he did seem quite taken with you.
Now, if he doesn't call in a day or two, you'll have to call him.
You say something about Saturday, ask him if he has any plans sort of put him in a position where he has to invite you because you'll find out about the party.
So then we'll work out a scenario and - Amanda, this is a very delicate situation.
- No problem.
- He invited me last night.
- What? Now, what do you want me to do? LEE: Circulate, stay out of trouble.
Try not to call unnecessary attention to yourself.
- No cha-cha, huh? - Heh.
No cha-cha.
Now, after the party's in full swing go to the study, flick the lights three times, open the French doors then go back to the party.
- That's all? - That's all.
[SIGHS.]
- What's gonna happen to him? - I don't know.
Amanda, in this kind of work you have to keep your feelings separate from your job.
Yes, I'm learning that.
Remember what I said about fantasies? - Thank you.
- Hey.
You look fabulous.
Hello.
- Your name? - Miss Greenwich.
WOMAN: Your coat, madam.
- Thank you, madam.
DELANO: Uh, would you excuse me? - Hello.
- I'm so glad you could come.
Thank you.
Would you like some champagne? - What a lovely home.
- Thank you.
[SPEAKING IN FRENCH.]
Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Hollander.
Tell me, Miss Greenwich, where are you from? Oh, uh, here and there, I travel quite a bit.
- Do you know Europe? - Miss Greenwich has a house in Rome and a ski chalet in Gstaad.
- Nice place, Gstaad.
Unfortunately the skiing was very disappointing this year, was it not? Oh, yes, very.
Excuse us.
Uh, I'd like to show Miss Greenwich the view from the terrace.
Of course.
It's really beautiful.
So are you.
[SINGING "DIE WINTERREISE".]
[INAUDIBLE DIALOGUE.]
Excuse me, ma'am.
May I help you? Yes, could you, uh? Could you tell me where the powder room is? Oh, thank you.
HOLLANDER: This way here, come in, please.
DELANO: Hollander, this will be fine in here.
Let's just get this thing over with.
I believe the figure agreed upon, Mr.
Commoran, is $200,000.
That's right.
HOLLANDER: Well, we're certainly very anxious to see what we are purchasing.
Yes.
Uh, yes, and get the lights, please.
Quite remarkable.
Almost as good as being there.
Mr.
Commoran, continue.
COMMORAN: You're looking at Pershing missiles.
Approximately two dozen.
I've circled the white mounds which there on the ground look like haystacks.
The other circles are around farmhouses, which look quite innocent on the ground.
All of these structures house missiles.
The orientation of which is south-southwest.
These other photographs are pages from a secret study demonstrating the vulnerability of the system.
I think we've seen enough.
Lights, please.
The money, Mr.
Delano.
It's all there, Mr.
Commoran.
Though I shouldn't count it now if I were you.
Shall we rejoin the party? [AMANDA GASPS.]
Good evening.
Is there something wrong with the lights, Miss Greenwich? Not that I know of.
If you'll excuse me, I think I'll just Will you come with me? Please? [CROWD APPLAUDING.]
[GRUNTING AND SHOUTING.]
[WOMAN SINGING.]
Please, this way.
Checkmate.
Now, Miss Greenwich, who are you working for? [CHUCKLES.]
I really don't know what you're talking about.
My dear, who do you think we are, children? Your story, of course, was preposterous.
- What story? - Gstaad.
If you really were there this winter you will know that skiing was the best it's been for 20 years.
Now, what is your real name? Victoria Greenwich.
I do dislike hitting women.
Perhaps this will make you remember who you are? Would you believe me if I told you that I was just a suburban lady with two small boys, a station wagon and a Little League team on a bad losing streak? Mm-mm.
In that case, I'll scream.
Nobody will hear you, because of the music.
Oh, it's lovely, isn't it? [AMANDA SCREAMING.]
[GRUNTING.]
[CROWD APPLAUDING FROM BELOW.]
All right, what's in the injection? You tell me what's in the injection or I'll blow your brains all over this room.
Be my guest.
And you know I won't talk.
We're both in the same business.
[WOMAN SINGING FROM BELOW.]
[SONG STOPS.]
All right, what did he give her? You tell me, because you know she doesn't deserve this.
I'm sorry.
I'm really very sorry.
Damn it, man, don't you apologize! If anything happens to her I swear to you, you'll do your time in a wheelchair.
Now, you talk to me fast.
It was muscarine.
Ten cc's.
[SIREN WAILING.]
She's stabilized, Mr.
Stetson.
She'll be all right.
I, uh I guess this one got a little rough.
I'm sorry.
You did a hell of a job.
You really did.
You might even make a decent agent someday.
Thank you.
You're awake? Oh, porter, please wake me when we get to Portofino.
Thank you.
MAN [ON TV.]
: And tonight, Mrs.
Roston [KNOCKING ON WINDOW.]
MAN [ON TV.]
: You are about to meet the mother you once had but never knew it.
Because this is your lucky day.
- Hi.
LEE: Hi.
You're getting awful good at knocking on my kitchen window.
Yeah.
[CHUCKLES.]
- Uh, am I interrupting anything? - Supper dishes.
Victoria Greenwich may not do dishes, but Amanda King has a sinkful.
Yeah.
- You're going to miss her, aren't you? - Oh, well, sure.
A little bit.
[LEE CHUCKLES.]
So, what are you doing in my garden at 7:30 at night? Um, just checking.
