Best Lines

Amanda: What’s my assignment?
Lee: To have a good time.
Amanda: Well, why didn’t you just go alone?
Lee: On a Friday night at a party? You know how depressing that is?



Billy: Who knows? Maybe he finds Amanda exotic and mysterious. Think about it.
Lee: Amanda…..exotic… mysterious?



Lee: Have you any idea how many women Jim has been sincere with?
Amanda: I don’t believe it.
Lee: Dozens
Amanda: No… You…
Lee: What about me?
Amanda: You’re sounding like a jealous person.



Lee: (As a woman walks in on him in the ladies restroom.) This isn’t the kitchen. I’ve been duped. I demand to see the chef.



Lee: It’s way after midnight, Cinderella.
Amanda: What are you doing here?
Lee: Someone ripped off her microphone in the ladies room. That left me with a lot of time to kill.



Lee: Amanda, in this kind of work you have to keep your feelings separate from your job.
Amanda: Yes, I’m learning that.
Lee: Remember what I said about fantasies?



Lee: Hey, you look fabulous.



Lee: Alright, what did he give her? You tell me because you know she doesn’t deserve this.
Delano: I’m sorry. I’m really very sorry.
Lee: 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.



Lee: I, uh,…I guess this one got a little rough. I’m sorry. You did a damn good job.* You really did. You might even make a decent agent someday.

*Part of this lined was paxed so I had to guess on the original line. The PAX version said “You did a job.”



Amanda: Oh, Lee…How’d you get me out of there?
Lee: I carried you.
Amanda: He carried me.




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

1. Check out Harry’s computer. Keyboard and monitor all in one. Funky.

2. Question on the muskaline (poison stuff). When it’s given to the agent in the beginning nothing happens yet, but when it’s given to Amanda she passes out right then. Now I know Hollander said it depended on the rate of metabolism, but hers can't be that fast. He said it took from 45-60 minutes.

3. At least they explain why she is limping in this ep. Wrong way hook slide. Wonder how she can wear heels with a sprained ankle though.

4. Listen to the little sexist. They even had 2 girls on the team. What’s that supposed to mean? That the worst all boys team should still be able to beat them just cause there's girls on the team? Come on Amanda, set him straight.

5. Ok, what Richard Gere movie is Dottie talking about? I'm not a fan, but just curious.

6. Why does Amanda say oh 3 times on the phone? I can see one in reaction to it being a priority, but 3? Lee hasn't told her anything new to oh about.

7. Boy do times a change from season 1 to 3. He doesn't even see her in that gorgeous dress. And later on when he imagines her as exotic and mysterious. I believe the quote from ATWAS is "There's a lot about you I don't know, but sure am gonna like finding out." implying exotic and mysterious. Wonder how many times 3rd season Lee wanted to go back in time and kick 1st season Lee in the butt so he'd notice. It’s almost funny how everyone else (except Fran) can see her but him. At least he redeems himself later when he tells her she looks gorgeous.

8. At least he thought of her. To take as a date I mean. Even though it is last minute. He does have 4 black books, why not pick someone from there? Or did he and that's why its so last minute?

9. Memory tester. What’s the name of Delano's business? Jeopardy theme music plays in background…times up. If you go by Lee and Amanda it’s Quickie Chickie Snack Shack. If you go by Delano, the owner, it’s Quickie Chickie Chicken Shack. I would hope Delano would know, but then again why would Lee and Amanda not know it. If it’s a chain then they would see the advertising and stuff with the name. I like Lee and Amanda’s name better. It flows. Thanks ca for the help.

10. Does Lee think Delano really picked her because she's a housewife with 2 kids and a mortgage? Cause he doesn't know all that. He picked her purely on her looks and then hung around to listen to her ramble. Lee just doesn't get it does he?

11. Love how Lee is in total shock that she has already been invited. It just blows his mind. LOL

12. So why the butler and maid? He’s just picking her up for dinner, really doesn't even need to come in. She could just meet him outside. Seems like a waste of money.

13. She is so not listening to him. I don't think I would either with all that beautiful jewelry. And why do they need this big complex life story? Why can't she just ad lib stuff? What if she already had? They did talk last night. In fact their story gets her in trouble later by placing her in Gstaad. And when did he set all this up? They left Billy’s office together and then suddenly they're in front of the house. Time person...

14. Another post referenced a paxed scene here. Are we sure there was a paxed scene? It said they went to the closet and checked out the clothes, but what we see I don't see how that would've fit. She sits at dresser table, he reads cards, he asks if she's listening and then continues. As we pan out from her face in restaurant you can still hear Lee's voice fading out. Where would the closet part be? Michelle can you help?

15. Boy is he jealous. Especially in the bathroom scene. And just why does he need to know how the rest of the date went. She did her job. That's all he need know. Great avoidance technique she is developing. Gets out of the question twice. You go girl.

16. Did we come back from commercial paxed? Wasn’t there something in the limo, before she goes in to return jewelry, etc? Michelle?

17. This one is courtesy of classaddict. Thank you ca. Ice cream truck at 7 a.m. Any one else see the problem? If you do why doesn't the trained spy? Here’s one for you ca. Did you listen to the truck's song? It’s a sped up version of the theme song. Listen carefully and you can hear it.

18. So is this the edge of Rock Creek Park? Cause in its other uses it always seemed far away from the city/houses and it seemed bigger. Don’t they have other parks in the DC area? Seems this is the only one.

19. Ok. Ewwww. Poor Harry. Squished by an ice cream truck. Ick.

20. Why is Hollander eating breakfast in the bedroom? Doesn’t Delano have a dining room?

21. Yes, ca you were correct. You can see the cast as they walk over to the drink table. But you must be a really good detective and have a good pause/slow mo button. Just watch her as she walks to the table. At one point you can see a white shoe (cast); the other foot has a heel on. It took me several tries before I could see it, so just keep trying.

22. Think Lee saw them kissing? The terrace is right by the front door and Lee was parked close so he could watch for the signal. He had to have seen them. Wonder what that reaction was like. And I thought she said she wasn't falling for him. She was way into that kiss. What does she kiss like when she is interested?

23. Do you think Delano wonders where she is? She left for the powder room before he did and she's still not back. I know if my date was in the restroom that long I'd begin to wonder.

24. So who said she was actually in Gstaad this winter? All that was said was that she owned a ski chalet there. Nothing about her being there, and if she wasn't there why would she pay attention to the weather.

25. Karate chop!!!

26. So he knocks the guy out and then leaves the gun on the bed to pick her up. What if Hollander wakes up? He’d have a gun. Hello.

27. Watch the jumping arms. It’s magic. First the left one goes from dangling to resting on her hip to dangling. The right one is even more impressive. For most of the scene it’s held awkwardly in the middle of his back, but as they come into the room to face Delano it’s around his neck. How’d it get there? He didn't move it and she's out. It’s magic I tell you.

28. Watch his exit from the scene. He almost takes the lady in the second row out as he swings her feet around.

29. Ok. Is this not the best scene? From the time he adjusts her and walks in, to the son of a… and finally the apology in the ambulance. Wow. Talk about intensity and great acting by BB. Bravo! Be honest. How many times did you watch that part over? For me it was probably 20 times. My fingers just kept hitting rewind automatically.

30. Gotta say I hate the lion hair here. Just doesn't look good. Sorry Kate.

31. And is this tag too cute or what. Such obvious feelings by both. And just love how he says he carried her with such pride.


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

Put Your Head On My Shoulder
Paul Anka

Put your head on my shoulder,
Hold me in your arms, baby,
Squeeze me oh so tight,
Show me that you love me too,

Put your lips next to mine, dear,
Won't you kiss me once more, baby?
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love.

People say that love's a game,
A game you just can't win.
If there's a way I'll find it somebody.
And then this fool with rush in.

Put your head on my shoulder,
Whisper in my ear, baby.
Words I want to hear, tell me,
Tell me that you love me too.

Put your head on my shoulder,
Whisper in my ear, baby,
Words I want to hear, baby,
Put your head on my shoulder.
