Best Lines

Amanda: I think out of my entire graduating class, I am the only one of us to go on and become a spy. Of course, I suppose, if there were any others I wouldn’t know about it.



Amanda: Well, I was just wondering… shouldn’t I know how to hit?



Amanda: (Speaking to Lee after he bursts into the restroom with a gun drawn) Well, do you happen to have any orange lip gloss?



Amanda: Well, should we rendezvous later? Should we synchronize our watches? (Lee has left unbeknownst to Amanda.) Lee? Hello? That man has the worst manners.



Lee: Don’t look at me.



Amanda: You heard me, she thinks you’re cute.
Lee: I am cute.
Amanda: Not that cute.







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

1. So Amanda thinks she is the only one from her class to become a spy… Would you count Conrad Barnhill as a spy? Maybe not a spy, terrorist in training? Should still qualify though.

2. How come they bring out the cast in this one and not the other ones? There’s been what… 4 eps now where she's limping: SAAB, ACM, MB and SBTB (not shown). What makes this ep so special? Just curious.

3. Just how does that direction clear up where Lee is to meet the guy? If he doesn't know the cannery why would he know the mercantile? They’re just across an alley from each other. If he knew one he'd know the other. Logic guy…

4. How’d the guy get the agency number anyway? I thought they didn't advertise.

5. Check this out. Watch the bridge scene where Amanda comes up to Lee. First off, where's the cast? Second, watch her hand motions and listen to the words. They don't even come close to matching. Third, must be slippery paper towels. They keep going up and down in the bag depending on the camera angle.

6. Boy, Amanda should never say never about becoming involved with a man like Lee.

7. So how does "recon" get the fact that the guy in the photo was wearing boots? The shot was from the waist up. Boy, they are good.

8. Makes you wonder what Fran has never done to music doesn't it?

9. Amanda is beginning to show her speed. Just before Penny receives the horse, close up they stand shoulder to shoulder. When we have the aerial view they are at least a foot away from each other and then blink. They’re back to shoulders. Back and forth, back and forth...

10. So that'd be when Joe was in town? When she would slip into her sexy nightgown.

11. Man was that smooth or what? Lee trying not to get caught by Penny at the window. And how does he not know he was spotted? He acted like he didn’t know when Amanda congratulated him.

12. Why wouldn't Lee sweep for bugs? Isn’t that one of the first things spies do? Sweep any room where they will be discussing the case for bugs. Seems spy 101 to me.

13. Either Amanda rode Diablo really fast or Penny rode really slow. How could Amanda catch up to her that quickly? Penny took off; Amanda talked to Bo, walked to the stable, waited for the horse to be saddled, tried to mount and then took off. Seems like all that should take a good 15-20 minutes yet she finds Penny rather quickly. Hmmm... maybe my timing is just off.

14. Anyone spot the magic jeep? Lee gets in with the driver's side on the usual side, the left. But watch when he's driving. He’s on the right. Did we suddenly move to England and I not catch it? I know I miss some stuff, but a change in country you'd think I’d catch.

15. Think Amanda wrote Penny? Think she wrote her about the marriage when the time came? I bet she did write her over the years and I'm guessing the way she wrote, Penny could probably figure it out without being told in so many words.


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

He's So Fine
Chiffons

He's so fine
Wish he were mine
That handsome boy over there
The one with the wavy hair
I don't know how I'm gonna do it
But I'm gonna make him mine
Be the envy of all the girls
It's just a matter of time

He's a soft-spoken guy
Also seems kind of shy
Makes me wonder if I
Should even give him a try
But then again he can't shy
He can't shy away forever
And I'm Gonna make him mine
If it takes me forever

He's so fine Gotta be mine
Sooner or later
I hope it's not later
We've got to get together
The sooner the better
I just can't wait
I just can't wait
To be held in his arms

If I were a Queen
And he asked me to leave my throne
I'd do anything that he asked
Anything to make him my own
For he's so fine
So fine
So fine
