"Just walk with me…"

Amanda drives up to her meet with Lee, to drop off the station wagon for curler wearing Francine.. What if the baddies were watching Amanda leave the house? Anyway what do I care- there’s good stuff that’s comin!!   Lee gets in the passenger seat of Amanda’s car and explains what will be happening..
Lee: All right, Francine’s taking your place for the film drop.
Amanda: Why? I could do it. I don’t want this to sound like a criticism or anything but.. [insert rant on government spending here!!]
Well my goodness.. Amanda actually states her case here with Lee.. nice try Amanda [I love that she gives it a go!] – but you will want to stay in that car with Lee: Trust me!!! Lee is surprisingly calm and patient with her here.. don’t you think.. err I guess he doesn’t want things to get too heated!!!  Lee’s face when she has her rant is a classic.. yep rant away Amanda.. there is no way I am letting you do the drop! I am responsible for you!!! uh oh.. the brow rubbing has kicked in.. time to stop her!
Lee: Amanda, please? Hmm?
Amanda: I bet it adds up to quite a lot.
Lee: Francine is a qualified agent.
Amanda: I know that, Lee. How much qualification does it take to throw a cassette out a window? I know that might seem like a dumb question, but I think it deserves an answer.
Lee: It doesn’t take any special qualifications. (he’s just teasing her now!!! cheeky Lee!!! !!!)
Amanda: Then I can do it?
Lee: No.
Amanda: What do I do?
Lee: Well, Billy thinks it’s a terrific idea that you stay with me until we get your car back.
Amanda: It would be a lot simpler the other way.
Lee: And a lot quieter.

(again a hint of a smile from Lee, but Amanda’s not in the joking mood ) Francine makes the drop.
We see Francine getting ready.. she seems to be taking forever.. the irony!! that it could take so much effort to look like a frumpy housewife..
Francine: Almost ready. You realize I have never done a suburban frump before!

Oh Francine.. that get up you wore at the beginning of the episode was too frumpy for a housewife!  Love  Billy and the nameless agent rolling their eyes at her bragging antics.. ugh.. Love how Francine’s comments about frumpy housewives wearing curlers like they are a club badge is juxtaposed with Amanda’s next sentence!!
Amanda You know, my mother thinks I’m involved in some kind of clandestine love affair.

Lee: ha ha..Your mother should know you better than that. [ gee Lee.. just maybe Dotty does know Amanda better!!! but I like the idea that Lee thinks he is an expert on what ‘type’ Amanda is ]
Amanda: Why? [this wipes the smile right off Amanda's face! she’s in a fiesty mood!! ]
Lee: Why? You’re not the type, that’s why.
Amanda: Well, I don’t know how you can say that my mother should know me better than that. I mean, you never can tell who’s the type for what.
I mean, I’m not the type to be a spy, but look at me. I mean, you never. . . 
Amanda pauses here and licks her lips!!! hoo haa!

Lee is staring at her and giving nothing away at all!!! ie- he is being very careful not to!

Amanda: You never really can tell what a person would do under . . . certain. .
( Lee grabs Amanda, pulling her to him)
Lee: There’s a local patrol car passing. This looks much more natural. Lee looks panicked here! He is  VERY fast with his explanation.. didn’t want Amanda to jump to the wrong conclusion, and give that speech about how it would change your working relationship again?? tee hehehee.. Maybe what really scares him – is that at this moment- she may not give that speech at all.. in fact.. she may be wanting to do very little talking!!!!
Amanda: Oh….. yeah, this is much more natural. – whahahaha! what a fab line!!!! how can this be both funny and hot at the same time eh??!! (Amanda’s thinking: I luuuuurve Patrol Cars!!! )
At this moment, in the complete silence between them, Amanda’s hand starts caressing Lee’s cheek.. and it is hard to see as Amanda’s hand is in the way a bit and I never saw it till just now with this clear copy- but Lee licks his lips here tooooooo!!! whahahaahaa!!!! err hoo haaa!! )

Lee: Yeah. ( Lee’s thinking: hurry up patrol car!!! those blasted patrol cars!! curse Patrol cars!!!)
That patrol car moves by terribly slowly.. and for Lee and Amanda.. so does time! haaa.. Lee is looking straight ahead and surely he would have seen the patrol car had passed.. then.. Amanda shifts in her seat bringing her face more in line with his..

And for just a second longer than he needs to- he lets her stay there  

Then Lee starts in with his gibberish again! Lee: whougasgahgahgagh! !!
He releases Amanda and she breathless says: I think they’re gone now.
Lee: yeah. Yeah! I think they’re gone!!
Amanda: Yeah.
Amanda straightens up her clothes. Lee runs his hand through his hair uncomfortably. Neither can look at the other! Lee takes a huge breath and let’s it out he tries to act casual by laughing.
Outside, Francine knocks on the car window- I love how she taps on the window and for a second neither of them hear her!!! So telling!!!! Francine knocks a second time on the car window and finally Lee notices Francine is there – but Amanda is still facing the front, she looks normal- but she is in fairyland!!! heheee.. and doesn’t see Francine until Lee points her out.. Lee looks very very relieved to see Francine at the window!!! heheee
Lee: look, uh, trade jackets with Francine.
Amanda: Sure.

Amanda goes to get out of the car, and Lee’s expression is one of… Hmmm… Terror????!!!  at what has just happened!!

Lee’s not feeling as casual about it as he was trying to convey to Amanda!!

Oh Boy.. was there some heat going on in that car!!!! hoooo haaaaa!!!!! The irony?- them having a cuddle IS much more natural Love how Amanda plays along with it ohhh so enthusiastically.. and Lee just sits there struggling to maintain his control.. I swear he was about to turn his head juuuuust a little further for a second there.. he would call it a split second of madness on his part no doubt.. but.. he held her juuust a little longer than he needed to- and didn’t release her the moment the patrol car had passed. He can’t deny that he responds to her – especially when he responded to it by saying what I say when I see Lee in a tux!!! dshgoawehgoghaoghaweghaw!

I am interested to hear others thoughts here.. Firstly, I think Amanda may have been flirting a bit with Lee here.. testing the waters – err or dropping the bait!! Especially after her little admission that maybe she is entitled to a meaningless affair.. that is passionate and fiery! and then.. she brings up this topic of conversation with Lee?? alone in the car?? and then takes umbrance at his laughing and telling her she’s not the type! Oh boy!! So.. when he took her in his arms she may have thought- whoo hoo!! Let’s see how you cope with this!!  and she found she was thoroughly enjoying herself too!!! She made the most of the opportunity!!! (whether this would have been a subconscious thing on Amanda’s part I don’t know..) but I do think it is clear she was being provocative at the least..

Secondly, I felt that Lee was more affected by it all than Amanda.. but she was certainly affected! hehehee.. ohhh analysing this scene is such hard work.. but.. I will continue on and suffer ROFL! What’s also interesting is – Lee pulled Amanda into an embrace to fool the cops – why didn’t he actually kiss her? Like he did in Sudden Death?? It’s almost like he didn’t trust himself to do that again now that he knew how much she affected him!!! hooo haaaa!   Happy thoughts!!

Lee gets out of the car- and is back to business aaaalllll business!  Francine drives off with her curlers and Amanda’s station wagon to make the drop of the cassette.. Lee and Amanda follow on at a distance in Lee’s car.. and with that.. I shall sign off..

Have any thoughts or theories on this particularly difficult scene to watch? ( NOT! ) What do you think Amanda was up to here?? do tell!!! byeee and thanks for reading!! (Exams are still happening so may be a few days before I get to finish this ep!) but discuss away!! Such a happy topic  

hiya!  I need a break from study.. so here goes!
Well, back to Amanda’s home that night.. I think this is the first time so far that Amanda’s home has been in any kind of danger isn’t it? whoo we get a scene in that other living room of theirs, not the couch infront of the kitchen.. I can never get straight the layout of this place.. Dotty is going over the car insurance policy and Amanda is peeking out windows. That top Amanda is wearing is just really pretty on her.. she is looking so beautiful in this scene! Hmm.. I am sure that is no accident Her hair looks extra long too.. or is it just me??..

Amanda sneaks out the back to chat with Lee.. (Hold me Lee!!) hoo haa!! he has changed into his black suave man about town outfit!!! (Hold me Lee!)  Amanda’s hair seems to have suddenly gotten shorter too. or.. is it just me?!  

Lee is all business and snippy.. until Amanda shivers and admits she is scared….Then Lee’s rescuing instincts kick in and he is suddenly all charm.. Oh Lee!! He even puts his arm around her.. he is quite lovely here and tries to reassure her.. even if his reassuring is.. rather awkward!!! It is really funny how when he puts his arm around her he can’t look at her ;

he is looking off in the distance, and when she realises his arm is around her she looks down at his hand around her on her arm and then looks



back up to him and finally he meets her eyes..  LOL, you can just tell Amanda’s having impure thoughts about now!   Hoooo Haaaaa! Lots of sexual tension going on here! errr.. or is it just me? ( you even see Amanda look at Lee’s lips.. as she turns to face him, go check it out for yourself! – It’s no hardship let me tell you   )

Lee tells her he’s scared too.. Hmm kind of breaks the fantasy Amanda had going on I think poor Lee he’s just trying to reassure her! ghaogagh! I love how he responds with gibberish to Amanda telling him that isn’t very reassuring! tee hee.. If I’m not mistaken that is a Lee ‘tell’ that he is having impure thoughts.. tee heee.. I am sure he does that in the car soon too!  
Lee: Well, what I mean is, I feel responsible for Scotty and Raul. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them.
Lee adds blurting out: Or to you! .  (Awh… I think that is possibly the first time we ever hear Lee actually verbalise that he feels responsible for Amanda and her safety)
Amanda: Yeah.

Lee: Hey, come on, Amanda, look. You’re going to be all right. You’re protected by the best there is in the business.
Amanda: I don’t want the best there is, I want you.
Lee: Oh…..  Lee seems kinda pleased here, till Amanda says: I’m sorry, that didn’t come out the way that I meant it.
Lee: Oh, thanks a lot. (now, no longer pleased at all!! Oh how swiftly Lee’s emotions are affected by Amanda!! )

Amanda: It didn’t sound right — Well, I was just. . .
[Lee seems to realise he is making a big deal out of nothing here..and they are actually arguing over what she said about what she thinks about him??!! tee hee.. LOL.. yes why would you care so much Lee??!!! Oh dear.. our  Lee is so gone and he has absolutely no idea!! – or is it just me?! ]
Lee:  never mind, never mind, huh?
Amanda: I’m sorry.
Lee: Okay.
Lee certainly isn’t very modest when he says Amanda is protected by the best in the business.. but then I guess he was trying to reassure her

I love how they have this lengthy conversation right in front of the window to the family room- where Dotty could see them were she to come back… and then.. Amanda tells Lee to stay right there!!! right out in the open in front of the window.. eh??? no wonder Lee runs off..

Amanda: Don’t go anywhere.
Lee: No.
Amanda: You’re right here.
Lee: I’m right here.
Amanda: Okay.

Sooooo Why does Lee roll his eyes here as she leaves?? Is he annoyed at her nervousness? or was he feeling the tension between them at his needing to comfort her?? or was he rolling his eyes at the way he reacted to her when she said the wrong thing by accident!! or heck, maybe it’s a combination!! Thoughts anyone???? I think he might be kind of relieved the whole emotion filled conversation is over – and this is mirrored by his reaction when Amanda ‘finally’ gets out of the car later..after they’ve ahem.. steamed up the windows a bit.. he is far more emotionally affected than he wishes to be! squee!!

The phone rings and Amanda answers it – Dotty listening in the whole time.. Oh dear!!!

We see Billy, another nameless agent-  hehehee.., and Francine in rollers, and you can just make out Lee in the back,it’s very dark.. – they are all listening in on the phone call too.-what a shame it wasn’t some guy asking Amanda out on a date  Love the look Dotty gives her when Amanda turns to look at her!! classic!!!

We see the baddies put Scotty in a dark basement, where he meets Raul. This Scotty is too funny! No one should sound that chirpy when they are being held captive in a dark hole in the ground with fake water dripping sounds ringing in your ears! I don’t know why but this dialogue cracks me up.. so random!
Scotty: You been here long, Raul?
Raul: No.

Scotty: So, what do you do?
Raul: I’m a hostage. (LOL!! he says it like he is thinking uh oh.. now I’ve got to talk to this idiot too??!!)
Scotty: Me, too. (Oh really?! tee heee.. so funny!)
. . What’s that smell?
Raul: I think it’s mushrooms.
Poor Raul.. being held captive with Scotty could be more than the mind can take… ROFL!!!
Scotty: I Luuuurrrve Mushrooms! (ROFLMAO!! of all the moments to be excited by mushrooms!) You like mushrooms Raul?
Raul: not anymore.

Good answer!!! err is that because you are being held captive? or because slightly strange but sweet Scotty is trying to talk to you about them and you just want him to shut up!!! 

Back at Amanda’s house and Dotty is all disapproving of Amanda heading out so late after the phone call!!!
Dotty: You’re making a mistake, Amanda. A man does not respect a woman that he can call on a whim!
Amanda: It isn’t what you think, Mother.
Dotty: You are seeing a man, aren’t you?
Dotty: These burning passions, midnight assignations, they don’t work.
Amanda: Mother, it’s only eight-thirty.
(ROFL!!!! so 830pm assignations might work?)

Dotty: I cannot manage your life for you. I mean, maybe you’re entitled to a meaningless affair. Something passionate and fiery, with no future.
Amanda thinks for a moment and then mutters under her breath: Maybe I am. (she thinking of Lee here??!!)
Amanda: I’ll be back in an hour.
Dotty: An hour?! …

Amanda’s wordless response is soo funny!!
Dotty: One of those. (ROFLOL!)

Whahahaah!!

I shall leave it there for now.. as Amanda heads off for her 830pm assignation! LOL!! I had forgotten how funny this episode is!!! Not to mention the heat between Lee and Amanda in her backyard there!

Thanks for reading! If you would like to share any comments or anything feel free_ they are very very welcome byeee for now!

Lee and Amanda take Scotty out for a meal- at what looks like a nice place huh… Amanda is sooooo funny in this scene..I love it!! Oh and the baddies are lurking around somewhere nearby waiting for their moment to pounce! 

Scotty: Oh, yeah, I knew they were phonies when they took Mrs King’s registration from her wagon.
 Amanda: They took my registration?
Amanda: They took my registration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee: I ahh….
Don’t you think they look and act like a couple here at this restaurant.. I think so- very much ‘together’ if I was Scotty I would think they were a couple.. All those knowing looks between them, and Lee holding Amanda’s arm to comfort(which reminds me of a scene in saved by the bells where they are sitting exactly the same way and I think both Amanda even has on the same jacket!) and putting his arm around her to stop her! (Heck, I’d keep repeating ‘they have my registration’ all the time too Amanda! great tactic to get Lee’s arm around you!! Way to go Amanda!! ) They have my registration!!!! Hold me!!

Interesting when Scotty mentions Truffaut… Truffant died later the same year this episode was first shown..
Scotty: Why would they want my film?

I mean . . . I feel like I’m a character in a Truffaut movie.
Lee: Except that they never asked that question in a Truffaut film.
In Bergman’s, that’s all they ever do. Why do we live, why do we die, why –
Amanda: Why did they take my registration?
Watch this scene through one time just watching Amanda- even when Lee is talking.KJ is so funny!!

ROFL! Lee looks like he is trying not to laugh

Scotty: Mr Stetson, I think I know what you do at IFF.
Lee: You do?
Scotty: You’re a director, aren’t you?
Lee: Ah. Well, it shows. Well, uh, Bunuel told me that after so many years, a man should expect to look like what he is. [insert filmmaking name dropping here ]
Amanda: I should call home
Lee: You know, Luis knew so much about the tricks of the medium. But I’ve always declined awards of any kind. But then he told me one day, “Awards are for the people who give them.”

And you know, he’s right? I mean, you accept the award and after a few moments, it’s barely a memory.

Scotty: Wow!
(Love how Amanda seems to be just looking at Lee working his cover and her expression is: whoa! look at him go!! tee heee..)
Lee: Yeah, well, enough about me. I understand you’re working on a film of your own. Tell me about it.
Amanda: They have my registration.
Amanda here is itching to get out of her seat and call home..sooo funny!!
Scottie explains his film.. parking quirks.. Yawn! ‘It’s not intrusive’- oh the irony! Lee and Amanda share a look   Lee manages to look enthralled.. while keeping one eye on  Amanda to stop her bolting!
Lee leaves the table.. Scotty’s such a little boy ‘He’s going to look at my film!!!’’ Amanda brings him back to earth and tells him to order something little! She’s such a mum!!

Lee goes to call Billy..
Lee: Yeah, Billy. This is Scarecrow. Everybody in place?
(We see Billy working in his office.)
Billy: Since when do you double-check on me?  I can answer that question- all the time!!!! hadn’t you noticed???!!!!Whahahahahaaaa!!
Lee: Billy, those two guys got Amanda’s registration.  (Go Lee! Good Lee!!)
Billy: The house is surrounded, okay? Nobody’s going to get hurt.
Ahhh Levic (one of the bad guys) sells information.. Ohhh Kaaaay… and that report Raul had is worth $$.. yawn.. but.. got it… Ha!
 
See in this picture? as Lee re-joins Amanda and Scotty and sits back in his seat we can just see Amanda drinking coffee.. well! that’s Lee’s coffee! because in the next shot, there’s only one coffee on the table and Lee’s got it!! ( don’t mind swapping spit huh! )
Scotty: I’m really too nervous to eat.
Amanda: Well, you’ve been through a terrible experience and I think it would probably be better if we all just went home.
Scotty: Oh, it’s not that. It’s being here with a director like Mr Stetson.
(someone else fawning over Lee.. only Scotty is so clueless and young and enthusiastic it works! ) Scotty goes to ‘wash up’. Good boy.. (How old do you think the character Scotty is suppose to be? )
Levic: I’ll get the kid, you get the car.
The moment Scotty is away from view Amanda pounces on Lee! He let her stress for a while there.. almost like she should assume he has taken care of it! Is that what you want Lee? I think he kinda likes it!!  
Amanda: Look, Lee, I know that film is very important to you and you are playing a wonderful director, ….
but Phillip and Jamie and my mother are home and those men have my registration with my address on it. I –

Lee: Amanda. (She stops. Lee faces her.) Your home is surrounded.
Amanda: My home is surrounded? Lee: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Who is surrounding it?
Lee: The good guys, that’s the first phone call I made.

Amanda: It was?
Lee: Yes. So relax, huh? Billy’s got an APB out on the car and you really didn’t want this salad, did you?
(He helps himself to it.)
Amanda: No, I — I don’t like salad. (eh? then why order it?!)
Lee: I didn’t think so.
(He picks up the fork and digs in. Amanda sighs with relief.) Amanda: I feel better now.
Lee: Good.
They’re very very cute here!! I love how Lee can’t help himself and smiles kind of bashfully when Amanda says he is playing a wonderful director.. but while he is smiling away at Amanda’s compliment her panic is rising!! Finally, Lee is able to refocus    he puts her mind at ease about the house being surrounded… she certainly is appreciative.. and.. so Lee is very happy too…(what a change in mood from when they went looking for scotty eh?!)  Lee steals Amanda’s salad and she can’t stop grinning from ear to ear..  drinking the other’s coffee, eating the other’s food.. they are so couple-y!  life is good, they are both relaxed..but not for long!

Uh oh.. the baddies nab Scotty.. Lee isn’t going to get to eat Amanda’s salad after all. Ohhh poor Amanda.. she tried to drive Lee’s car and help Lee.. PTSB again?? why would you keep trying when you know you can’t do it.. eek.. and Lee gets in the passenger seat and expects her to drive off? LOL.. she had him fooled for a second there! – At least she stood up for herself here and told him he wouldn’t have caught them on foot! Go Amanda!!

Bad Lee.. he says to Amanda: you lost them! When he gets in the car.. not her fault Mister!!!! He looks and sounds about 10 years old when he says “noooo!” in response to her question of did he expect to catch them on foot.. booo hooo Lee.. stop taking things out on Amanda.. she liked your director act.. cut her some slack!

Amanda: (They’ve got) Scotty?????!!!

Why is Amanda surprised the baddies took Scotty? eh?? PTSB again?! wasn’t she sitting next to Lee and saw the baddies take him? why did she think Lee was running?? [I’m just going to forget about the Oh my gosh that ends this scene.. PTSB.. PTSB… ]

  I’ll leave it there for now. Car scene’s coming!!!!! whoo hooo!! I’ll get to it as soon as I can.. I’m sitting exams in a week so less smk time at the moment –but please share any thoughts!! byee for now..

The baddies are back at the mystery car park that exists in another dimension… whoooooo.. (That is how good IFF’s security is.. their car park is hidden in another dimension so that people can’t usually see it!- I guess this smokescreen malfunctioned this week ) One of the baddies is the same actor who played the supposedly Australian assassin in ‘It’s in the water’.. The baddies explain they need the film, and can’t terminate Raul until they get it .. Why I don’t know.. but whatev!
Hey, is it just me or does that baddie look like he ain’t afraid of no ghost??? (It was the same year as this episode but i think this baddie came first.. was Ray Parker Jr around before Ghostbusters?  The Moustache must have made a comeback in 1984!) So the baddies approach naive Scotty and he shows them her car buying their line about being insurance inspectors.. they check her glove compartment.. err why is Amanda’s car not locked?? eh?? it’s just sitting there with the window down from the looks of things.

The baddies read her registration information..(do people usually leave that info in their glove box?) hmm nice double meaning there from the smk writers when the baddie says to Scotty “you want Mrs King to get what’s coming to her don’t you?”
Nooooooo!!! we don’t thank you !!
Finally the penny drops with Scotty that these are bad bad bad men! They’re lying! Mrs King didn’t tell Scotty to give him the film of the accident! cha.. good one Scotty just tell them who has it.. derrr.. and then… he finally realises these are the same two men who chased the other guy..

The baddie reaches into another unlocked random car, takes the keys and opens the boot to put Scotty in.. Why put Scotty in the boot (trunk!)? wouldn’t they be better off keeping him in the car with them?? where he can’t make noise and attract attention?? why let him out so he can warn Mrs King? The whole reason they stay there is to wait for her..don’t get it..

Amanda and Lee are walking to the carpark to talk to Scotty…
Amanda: I know you’re upset, but you’ll feel much better once you’ve talked to Scotty.
Lee: I will feel better when I have every bit of film that he is taken. (Yes Mr patience and control..)
Amanda: Oh, come on, look, Lee, it wasn’t as if he was going to open it up with a big premiere or something. I mean, he was only making the documentary for you.
Lee: For me?
Amanda: Yes, he believes International Film Fed is a real company.
Lee: It’s just our cover, Amanda. Look, twice a year, we grind out a couple of documentaries on the — the romance of earthworms, and that’s it.
Amanda: I know it’s just a cover, but people are supposed to believe that the cover is real, aren’t they?
Lee: Great.
Amanda: Oh, well, come on, you do make a couple of movies. I mean, you made the one about tractors, and then you made the one about crop rotation –
Lee: Amanda.
Amanda: — and that was really pretty interesting.
Lee: I know, but that is just to protect our cover.( Derrr Lee.. Love how he says that really loud – the people passing by would be able to hear that! ) Now, look. We have got couriers, technicians, double agents, people who are known within the intelligence community. If they can be connected with IFF, our cover is blown. Now, a lot of people are in jeopardy. Now, don’t you see that?
Amanda: Of course I see that, why do you think I gave you the cassette? Look, you’ll talk to Scotty, he’ll understand, everything will be all right. You’ll know what to say. He’s a very nice boy and he takes very nice movies and he’s talented and — Well, you saw his movies, they’re clear and they’re sharp and they’re in focus and that might seem basic to you, … but if you’ve taken as many out-of-focus pictures as I have –

I find this whole dialogue weird.. how is it that Lee can’t grasp the concept that someone thinks IFF is real?? eh??? what are we turning Lee into a scatter brain now?? It is obvious this whole dialogue is to explain how the cover works to the audience..  we can understand Scotty thinks IFF is a real film company, we don’t need it explained! Or at most, one line would have done just fine.. this way makes Lee look it was his turn for a lobotomy.. at least for once it is not Amanda they are dumbing down! How could Lee not realise someone might believe the IFF cover.. come on!!! (btw- I’d just love it if Lee took me to a movie on the romance of earth worms.. ROFL!!) Considering Lee is being a dill here Amanda is being very patient with him.. she talks him out of his stressing and calms him down nicely.. way to go Amanda.. ( I say that a lot don’t I! Well.. she is a trouper!) and off Lee goes to talk to Scotty with Amanda trying to keep up with him..

The baddies see Amanda and Lee arrive and find Scotty in the boot ( trunk!).. (LOL there goes Lee with his little lock pick purse! I bet that doesn’t last for too many episodes! ) They get him out- don’t you just love how Amanda dabs at his sore cheek and fusses over him ( a lot like she did with Lee last week and his poor Jaw. only this time it is Scotty’s poor cheek!) Can Scotty describe them? Sure!! Scotty can describe them down to their wing-tipped oxfords- he says he has an eye for details,  shame he didn’t have that eye for detail when they first came back posing as insurance inspectors!

So Scotty saw that the guy who hit Mrs King was being chased- why didn’t Amanda notice that at the time?  put it down to post traumatic scatter brain.. (Experts call it PTSB)

Amanda: The same guys who chased your friend Raul. Now, why do you suppose they came back?
Lee: After the film, obviously. I mean, this guy has got the two of them in living black-and-white.[Is living black and white a saying? I thought it was ‘living colour’?! we don’t live in a black and white world] . . . That just might save his life.
Amanda: Whose life?
Lee: We’re talking about Raul, Raul’s life, remember?
Amanda: I don’t understand. [That darn PTSB again!]
Lee: Amanda, they must have caught Raul. If they hadn’t, he would have have phoned in, right?
Amanda: Right.
Lee: I just hope they don’t try to dispose of him before they get their hands on that film. I mean, that super-eight is like a signed confession.
Amanda: do you think Scotty told them that I have it?
Lee: we’d better go find out…

Whoooo and off they go to find Scotty and have another chat.. 

Hurray! Lee’s brain is back from holiday!! he is back to his old self.. it seems Lee and Amanda can’t both be clever and fully with it at the same time!

I shall leave it there before we get into the awesomely funny ‘ they’ve got my registration!!!’ scene- one of my KJ favourites!!! Any thoughts?? gripes?? questions? feel free to share!!   byeee for now!
