Best Lines





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

1. Since when does he have an alarm on the Vette and if he's always had it why is this the first time we've seen him arm the thing? He’s not always in a hurry when getting out.

2. That is one pretty slick disarming thing Retsig uses on the Vette. Just place on top and voila, you’re in.

3. Oh goody goody more magic tricks. Watch as the magician places his keys in his right pant leg. He will do a couple of wheel checks and then abra cadabra… the keys come out of the left pant leg. Amazing. The slight of hand is unnoticeable. (Psst, I’m going with the idea that the keys and alarm are on the same key ring.)

4. If they have to use stock footage of the Vette sitting in front of the agency shouldn't it at least be of the Vette Lee drives. That one looks 2 toned to me.

5. So did Randi take him back? I'm sure he can be very persuasive when he wants to be. Fran teases him about the tape and about the girl he's seeing whose name is Randi. I guess it could just be a coincidence… 2 Randi's… He does like the girls with i's on their names.

6. So why can't Dotty go see Casablanca tonight? If Amanda is taking the boys to goofy golf she doesn't need to baby-sit. They could drop her on the way assuming it’s playing then. She doesn't have to do what the 3 of them do does she?

7. Love seeing the morning scene with the family. Just a typical morning trying to get to work and get 2 boys off to school. A bit surprised Pax didn't cut it, really didn't have anything to do with the plot. I'm glad they didn't. Don’t get me wrong. Did you think Amanda was going to take them to school? It sounded like it the way she was after them to hurry up. And where is Dotty going? I couldn't get the name. Was it a hair appt? Glad she was able to find a new person after Mr. Emelio left that for the restaurant business. What time do you assume it is? She says it’s 10 till. I say 8, 9 would be a late school day. Dotty’s appt is awfully early if she was supposed to be there at 7:45 (5 min late). And how does she get there? I’d think Amanda would take the car and they leave before she does anyway. So many questions... logic guy can ya help with any of them?

8. Love how she talks to the orange. I'm almost done. And how she watches it when Lee is playing with it. She must be using it as a reward for finishing her work. I do that too. If I finish this paper I can have a glass of chocolate milk or whatever. Very effective system although sometimes it means I don't eat for awhile.

9. Fran better watch her fingers Amanda just about takes them off reaching for the sandwich box. Poor thing, she must be starving.

10. Ok, how did Retsig get a direct connection to Billy’s line? Any time Amanda calls she has to go through the operator. Terrorists get the number but trainees don't?

11. See how white his face gets when Retsig mentions the poison in the sandwich? And the "oh gawd" line? You just know he threw the phone down and ran to her, ripping the sandwich from her hands. Probably scared her to death too. Love the promise... I promise you before this day is out... with his hand on her arm. She knows he always keeps his promises. Just so touching.

12. Isn’t she just a hoot in this one? K.J. is on a roll in the 2nd season, unless you count the hair. First she plays evil and then she gets to do goofy. What fun. Love her eating off the other people's plates, the balancing act (later), the broken window, Bill, all the little faces and movements she does. Absolutely rolling the whole ep.

13. What was Billy? Wouldn’t he have to have called him? Unless Lee wears a pager now and Billy beeped him, but I don't think so.

14. Oh, I LOVE the freak out scene in the hospital. She is so freaked and he is so scared. It is just so good. Love how she grabs on to his jacket and then hides her face in his chest, how she begs him not to go and you can tell he really doesn't want to. How about that final Lee? Before she faints and his panicked Amanda? Why does she faint btw? Just some kind of side effect?

15. No. It can't be. It is. It’s back! Run! Run for your lives before you get sucked into the only movie SMK people can make out to. It’s… the DINOSAUR movie! Ahhhhhh!!

16. Paaaaaxxx! I really don't like you right now. You better go over there for awhile. On second thought come back here. I don't understand why you cut the Retsig hospital visit out. That would seem part of the main plot to me. I know she's sleeping and he's just talking about how she got the sandwich by mistake but it sets up the next scene. Wouldn’t you agree Pax? Uh? Answer me. And just where does the dream of her going into the agency only to find her family coming out of the closet elevator fit? The boys telling her she didn't have a need to know that they were spies is just hilarious. I know it fits somewhere Pax, but where? Ok, I’m done. Maybe you should go over there for awhile after all.

17. How did she get from that window to that ledge? The window doesn't open wide enough for her to have climbed out of, even in her drugged out state. And is Lee so beyond scared here? Oh no. The panic in his voice evident as he goes to the window. Not a bad balance beam walker though. The funniest part has got to be: “Did you ever think the reason we can't fly is just because we are conditioned to think that we can't?” Oh no! Grab! What happened? I was rolling for 5 minutes. You go girl. If you put your mind to it I’m sure you can defy gravity. LOL

18. Where does Fran come from when she steps out on to patio? As she steps it’s an open corner behind her with a fence going around the corner, but she has direct line of site with Amanda. During the rest of the scene there are several trees behind Fran and no fence. Those magical philodendrons are making their first appearance.

19. Nice attitude army guy. What touching concern you have for the civilians you are supposed to protect. I know the theory is sound, sacrificing the one for the many, but you could've used more tact. They are obviously friends with this King woman. Love how his concern is for all the r and d put into the missile, not the security of the nation, just the r and d budget. And I’d be a bit more careful talking to Lee like that. Rile him too much when it comes to matters of Amanda and you're gonna get called PAL. That means business when you're called PAL by him. Better back down if you know what's good for you.

20. He wants it on the record that there is only one reason he's agreeing to this plan. Wonder what the reason is? Hmmm… I can't think what it could be… anyone? A little help here. Just stumped…

21. Isn’t that just the freakiest laugh? The one when she looks up at Billy from putting when he says she can't go home like this. It’s just so insane sounding.

22. Bet Fran is thinking: Hey. Hang on. Why would Amanda feel safe at Lee's? Just how much is she over there anyway? And why is she over there so much that it would be a familiar surrounding? Love the “oh” when Amanda confirms that she has candle light dinners over there all the time. Jealous Fran?

23. Sleep per chance to dream. And oh what a wonderful dream it is. We get both the white tux and a kiss. What more could you ask for? Not sure what else to say. I love Casablanca and love how they turn the phrasing into their own. You should've asked your mother. LOL. We’ll always have Arlington. LOL Great scene.

24. Why doesn't she take her coat off between naps? She’s moved couches so she's been up for a bit at least. Maybe she was cold I guess.

25. Poor Fran. She has just been knocked out and forced to sleep on the floor and what is Lee's only concern? Where Amanda could be or if she is in any danger. She gets no respect. What if she has a concussion or something? Poor girl.

26. How’d she get back home? Think she walked to the agency from Lee's to get her car? Or did she take the bus? That would've been fun to see. Agent Amanda on the bus. Bill! Nothing funnier than her calling him Bill. LOL

27. Faster than a speeding bullet… it’s super Lee! Dunt da dum. He gets to her place from the agency in the time it takes her to finish the phone convo and go outside. Didn’t we establish it was 15 minutes to her place from the agency in the Dead Ringer? That had to the fastest 15 minutes in recorded time. Either that or Amanda just moved really really slow.

28. Nice u-ie. How does Lee not get hit by the bullet to the windshield? It looked like it should hit right about the chest area and he was sitting there. To me it looked like the same shot that got Amanda in Mission. Where did the bullet go if it didn't hit Lee?

29. Hey. Where can I get one of those battery op hair dryers? That looks cool and would be great for travelling. And doesn't she handle the "gun" well? Like how she keeps him covered, even moving it for Lee to walk by. Now if they' d just get that stupid powder off her face (makes her look stupid, imo).

30. Think Lee ever tells her about the case and what she puts him through? I mean later when they are married. Or when she gets the clearance level in season 3/4 think she ever digs the file out and reads it? All of the stuff would have to have been put in the report. Just curious.

31. How’d the ball get in her purse? When did she put it in there? It would have to have been between the naps cause she runs out after smashing the vase without her purse. How come Fran didn't see her put it in then?


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

The Song You Hear Playing

As Time Goes By
Herman Hupfeld

This day and age we're living in,
Gives cause for apprehension.
With speed and new invention
And things like fourth dimension.
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory,
So we must get down to earth at times,
Relax relieve the tension.
And no matter what the progress,
Or what may yet be proved,
The simple facts of life are such,
They cannot be removed.

You must remember this,
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh.
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by.

And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you,"
On that you can rely,
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by.

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date.
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate.
Woman needs man,
And man must have his mate,
That no one can deny.

It's still the same old story,
A fight for love and glory,
A case of do or die.
The world will always welcome lovers,
As time goes by.
