Best Lines





And now... episode bloopers from Katie "The Continuity Queen"

1. Love how they give Larue their full and undivided attention. Soon as they see who it is they go back to talking or working and only when he mentions cut backs do they listen. When money is involved …

2. Highly paid, I thought David (from The Mole) said they weren't that highly paid. Remember during their date, he makes some kind of comment about the lack of funds? Was Lee just paid more than Davey? I guess he should be, he is the top agent after all.

3. See Billy’s smile when Lee asks who could do the courier run? It’s his special Amanda smile. Without saying a word Lee understands who he is referring too.

4. I don't think Amanda appreciated that comment from Lee about "the rest is Amanda King history". See her glare at him? Smart alec.

5. Nice pick up on the Baltimore story with Gino. They work so well together. Don’t you think?

6. So teach her already. He is just way too smart alec-ey in this one. Trust me, she can't drive a stick. Like that's her fault. Teach her.

7. Really impressed with baby boy in this one. He is learning to control his anger better. Not a 100%, but getting there. When he first drives up he is understandably upset, but doesn't blame her. He does relapse for a little bit, but then calms down and moves on. Keep working on it. And she is getting better at controlling his anger too. She turns the anger whenever it starts to head her way. I’d still want the officer there to explain it wasn't her fault though.

8. So when are they planning on getting the front grate fixed? It’s smashed the whole ep. You can see it when the family is in it and when Falcon is driving it. I thought he was in a hurry to get it fixed.

9. How did she get out of the driveway this morning if Jamie’s bike was in the middle? He wasn't riding this morning because of the showers and it was on the way to school that the car was "damaged". She parking in the street again?

10. What would you want the old muffler for? Why does he offer it to her? What’s she gonna do put it in the car's baby book? Hang it on her wall as a memento? Must be a man thing.

11. See Lee's smile on the phone when Amanda calls and says she's glad he's there.

12. Wondering about the missing wheel comment? Asking yourself did I fall asleep for a minute and miss something? Well, no you didn't. It was.. surprise, surprise… Paxed. Again searching my memory I seem to recall Amanda finding it up on blocks at a store or at home. She having to call Lee and them buying new tires. My recall may be off a bit, but it was something like that. Come on W.B. or Columbia we're begging you.

13. Is that laundry scene not the funniest thing? Up down, up down, oops, can ya..? And the touch. Wow. Must have sent a jolt of electricity through him. Did you see the way it surprised him and shocked him? He noticed what he was doing first and it stopped him dead in his tracks. Amanda only noticed cause he stopped talking. And what was he talking about? How important it was that she was safe and is alright. So beyond hooked. Notice the other bad habit Amanda has picked up from Lee? She cleared her throat in a nervous attempt to move the silence along.

14. You can calm down now. I'm very calm. Yeah right. Her thoughts: how can I calm down? First you just touched me, that always affects me. Second, you got scared when you noticed you were touching me. Just what does that mean? I'm gonna have to think about that later.

15. I don't understand why Gino needs everything spic and span clean for the inventory. It’s just someone counting the items. They don't care if the car is running or washed, just that it’s there. He’s stressing over nothing.

16. Love how he has to force her into the car when they are talking to Gino. And how she goes on about not even a broken hood or grate and he has to give her a stern look to quiet her. Too funny. She gets so excited. LOL

17. I don't figure Mario for being an international kind of guy. What’s the deal? Since when do small time mobster members get to travel? I've seen good fellas and the godfathers. None of them traveled internationally.

18. That’s the parenting magazine way to get your kids to help… threaten them with destruction of their toys. Help us or next time I'll run over something of yours. Why is she working on the bike on the kitchen counter/stove? Shouldn’t that be a garage or patio kind of job? She’s gonna get dirt and grease everywhere. Think she ever fixes it? It looked pretty banged up.

19. So Fran is interested in Amanda’s life. Maybe the maid case did move Amanda up in her mind. She obviously wants to hear about all the gossip. Why would she ever think Lee would want to?

20. Safety tip. You know if they just used common sense I wouldn't have to put these tips in, but alas… today's tip. Always look in the back seat of your car before getting in. Especially if it’s unlocked or just reappeared after being stolen.

21. Bet Fran is wondering what she would have to do to get that kind of reaction from Lee and Billy. Billy about jumps a foot when he heard that Amanda is missing. And how he told Lee to climb all over Mario and to tell him he'd fry if anything happened to her. Very protective of her. Like Lee was asking or waiting for his permission though.

22. Well, she had to try something. Gotta give her credit for attempting the computer story anyway.

23. This is one of the few times that the boys are directly threatened isn't it? Of course there's Wrong Way Home, but are there others I'm not thinking about? I don't mean vague threats to her family, but specific threats to the boys. You can tell she's really scared by this one.

24. It’s not business anymore Mario. It’s personal…. a very, very good friend of mine. Notice that is 2 verys. Not 1, but 2. So beyond hooked.

25. Can you imagine how glad she must be when she heard his voice in the garage? Her face shows it. Think about it. No one knows where she is and they are about to get in the car that will take her to her death some place where no one will find her. She certainly looks scared until he comes in. Thank goodness she always mentions where she conducts her business in her amandarambles.

26. Good thinking on Amanda’s part with the rope pull trick. Very good. Lee is also very impressed. His face shows that much and was about to say so until he realized Falcon was escaping. So a natural at the spy stuff.

27. Do you see him? Keep your eye out. He has to be around here somewhere. Could that be him right in front of us? Maybe you should go in for an eye exam? I doubt he just then came upon him. Lee hadn't turned from anywhere.

28. Hey, does the junkyard look like Liberty Larry’s? The little shack in the front looks like his office. If it is then he must have gotten a new crusher and just gave up on the selling part.

29. Actually, how did the Strattford get there? They say they parked it out front and one of the guys is bringing it around. It’s on a fork lift so it would've had to have been on a trailer or something. We know it's not in the wagon cause we see that and we know Lee didn't tow it on the Vette (Is that even possible?) cause he went with her to get the wagon. (Why? How'd they get to that shop? Walk?) And if it was being towed by someone following them why didn't they just pull into the lot? Logic guy...


Special thanks to Katie for all of the time and hard work she has put into these Continuity Queen posts!
