"NARRATOR:" "Last week on Scarecrow and Mrs. King:" "T.P.:" "Alexi Makarov was freed." "He's had nine years to plot his revenge." "The war game conducted by Dart's team will simulate an attack and test our strategic communication." "It's called Stemwinder." "Scarecrow you've got Sonja Chenko." "We will do a peacock dance with her." "The peacock dance." "What is that?" "An agent initiates or encourages contact with a target of the opposite sex in wich intelligence can be taken or given." " I'm leaving." " No, you are not." "AMANDA:" "Yes, I am." "LEE:" "Come back here." " My name is Sonja." " I'm Lee." "We must have access to Stemwinder in less than two weeks." "Scarecrow is going to hang." "This should do it." "Give the Soviets a good show." "I can get access to Stemwinder's radio frequencies." "[ENERGY CRACKLES AND LEE CROANS]" "The Russians are jamming six or seven of our frequencies, we lost." " I thik you're just as much a traitor as Scarecrow." " No, sir." "I just don't trust the stinking system." "Sorry, man." "Shall I order a D-1 manhunt?" "I trust him as a friend." "He's mine." "I love you." "Alexi's turned the agency against me." " I'm going with you." "Yes." " No." "[TIRES SCREECH]" "I guess it's your tail too." "DOTTY:" "Amanda, I think federal agents are here." "[AMANDA SIGHS]" " You okay?" " I guess so." "I've never been a fugitive before." "I know." "You ran the avoidance patterns as well as anyone I've seen, you know that?" "Well, it was my neighborhood I know where the loose fences and the mean dogs are." "They think we're traitors." "That's exactly what Alexi wants." "He's constructed this frame like a Swiss clockmaker building a masterpiece." "But we're gonna beat him, I swear it." "It's not just Alexi." "It's the agency, they are all over the place." "Yeah, well, I've got a couple of rocks they won't be able to turn over." "While you were asleep, I, uh, got a call to one of my family my civillian eyes and ears." "The agency doesn't have a complete list of them." "We're gonna get a place to hide and then we're gonna collect my insurance policy." "Right." " What's your insurance policy?" " It's money, firepower." "I always keep a cache hidden away just for emergencies." "[CAR APPROACHING]" "You stay right here." " We'd better make this meet a touch-and-go." " Problems?" "Not sure." "I spotted a couple of UFO's." "Maybe it's nothing but..." "You shouldn't have taken the risk." "I couldn't leave you hanging, man." "You're gonna need this." "Now, there's 10 grand under the chow mein, and two pieces under the Peking duck." " Good luck." " Right." "Come on." "Let's get out of here." "[TIRES SCREECHING]" "[TIRE BUSTS]" "MAN:" "Hey, there he is." "LEE:" "Over here." "MAN:" "Freeze, Scarecrow." "MAN:" "Hold it." " Uhh!" "MAN:" "No, forget it." "Go back." "[GRUNTS]" "Go around the other side." "Come on, let's go." "[CAR DOOR CLOSES]" "LEE:" "We're gonna get on that truck." "AMANDA:" "Right." "LEE:" "Ready?" "Go." "[PANTS]" "The agency got to my family." "We don't have a home." "We have gone over this a dozen times." "I cannot do it again." "[SIGHS]" " You're gonna have to try." " Why?" "What right do you have to come in here and terrorize me and my grandchildren?" "Interrogate us like we are criminals, occupy our house, tap our phone." "I wanna tell you something." "I have some questions too." " I'm sure you do." "Unfortunately,I'm not at liberty to discuss anything..." "Don't give me that." "You are at liberty to do anything you darn please and you know it." "Now where is my daughter?" "When is she coming home?" "Who is this Stetson man that she keeps mentioning?" "I really wish I could answer most of your questions, Mrs. West." "But unfortunately I just don't have the answers that's why I need your help." "Mrs. King's ex-husband's here." "Joe?" "Oh, Joe, thank god you're here." "[DOTTY SIGHS]" "You're a lawyer." "You'll know what to do." "It's okay, Dotty, don't worry, everything will be all right." "I'll tell the boys you're here." "[JOE SIGHS]" "I'm Joe King, Amanda's ex-husband." " We've met before." " Yes, when you returned from Africa." "I'm, William Melrose, Amanda's supervisor." "What's going on?" "I get a frantic call from Amanda's mother and your people outside are acting as if, uh, Amanda were public enemy number one." "This is off the record, Joe." "You don't know me, I don't know you." "There's a flap." "I've got 300 agents working overtime trying to find her and Stetson." "It looks as if they might be playing footsie with the Russians." " Amanda?" "That's impossible." " I don't wanna believe it myself but this agency has issued a D-1 manhunt for Stetson." "What's a D-1?" "Shoot to kill." "Ah, thank you." " It's not the Ritz." " Oh, it's nice." "But it's a roof over your head till the police get back you car and things." "Meanwhile, you'll find everything you need, sheets, blankets, uh paper plates, plastic utensils and glasses, fridge, hot plate, uh..." "AM/FM clock radio." "AMANDA:" "Oh, yeah." "Thank you, Mr. Kurland." "Heh, that's what the Traveler's Friends Foundation is all about." "Helping the victims of misfortune and malfeasance, Mrs. Vanderhossun." " Husson." " Husson?" "Vanderhusson." "Thanks a lot." "We really appreciate that." "[AMANDA SIGHS]" " Bye-bye." "TED:" "Bye." "LEE:" "Cute place." "You come here often?" " At least, it's something." "Yeah." "Well, it looks like a bad place to get surrounded in." "Is there such a thing as a good place?" "Huh?" "Here." "You may need this." "It's that kind of a game." "I hate this." "Mother and the boys are probably worried sick." "I really need to get a message to them." "Hey." "I know how you feel." "It'll be a big risk, but we'll think of something." " Okay?" " Yeah." "Tea, Grandfather?" "[KIDS CHATERRING]" "Chess is a fascinating game of contradictions changing moment to moment." "Hunter becomes the hunted." "Prey becomes predator." "What are you, Grandfather?" "Hunter or hunted?" "Both." "Scarecrow is alienated and alone but he's got time to think, to plan." "He's a wounded wolf, desperate but even more deadly." "Forget about Scarecrow, Grandfather." "Please?" "Go home to Vladivostok." "Live your life out in comfort." "You've earned it." "I will begin living again when Lee Stetson dies." "That's a neat cover, Lee." "How'd you manage it?" "LEE:" "Insurance money." " Heh." " How's your tail?" " Uh, the dogs are getting better but I lost them the second turn around the Washington Monument." "What do you hear?" "You two have premiered on the agency's most-wanted chart at number three, uh, with a bullet." "And I suspect you'll, uh, top the charts in a couple of days." "At least we know where we stand there." " Here." " Hmm." "I'm more worried about Alexi." "He's here, pulling the strings, I know it." "Oh, uh, by the way, Sonja Chenko is Alexi's granddaughter." "Who's she working for?" "Rostov or Alexi?" " Or both of them?" " I don't know." "Our only hope is finding Alexi before the agency finds us." "He probably feels the same way about you uh, but how do two phantoms meet each other in the shadows?" "You can't exactly advertise." "Maybe you can." "LEE:" "Pour me one." "I'm American." "I like ice." "BOY 1:" "Pass, pass, pass." "BOY 1:" "Come on." "Boy 2:" "Pass the ball." "BOY 1:" "Shoot it , Jamie." "Jamie:" "Unh." "I'm okay." "Come on, let's go." " Come on." "Boy 1:" "Unh." "All right, shoot, shoot." "[ALL GRUNTING]" " Hi there." "BOY:" "Hi." "You fellas know Phillip and Jamie King?" "Over there playing basketball, see them?" "BOY:" "Yeah." "AMANDA:" "I got a note here." "Could you give this to Phillip or Jamie?" "Don't tell them where it came from." " You promise?" " Promise." "Here you go." "Take the note and take the ball." "Bye." "BOY 1:" "Nice try." "Your story would raise eyebrows in Moscow." "The KGB central committee is toasting Sonja Chenko as a hero." "LEE:" "You believe that?" "You believe I gave her full access to Stemwinder or killed Phillip Dart to do it?" "She is a beautiful woman." "She's also Alexi's granddaughter." "But Stemwinder was a nice, sweet feather in your cap too, wasn't it?" "Nice enough for you not to ask too many questions not to worry too much about being set up for a meet at Emilio's." "I had to go." "Order came by telex directly from Moscow, signed by Andreev Krimsky." "The chief of KGB Covert Operations." "And Alexi's lieutenant for nearly 10 years when they ran the European station." "What do you want?" "I've got a plan to flush the old bear." "And I'm gonna need some help in trapping him." "I don't care about the paper's policy." "I wanna know when the ad was bought how it was paid for, whether it was done on the phone or in person and I want that information yesterday." " Billy, the old man's has had..." "BILLY:" "What?" ""Import-export agent seeks permanent employment opportunities abroad." "Must relocate immediately." "Ten years international experience with major US company."" "There could be any number of explanations." "One." "Scarecrow's put himself on the auction block." "Every spy in town has read this by now." "We're coffee and croissant gossip, Melrose, and I don't like that." "Scarecrow didn't mention Alexi Makarov." "They let him out five weeks ago." "Sonja Chenko, Lee's peacock dance partner is Makarov's granddaughter." "Conclusion?" "None yet, but we do have con..." "Then let me butter your bread, and cut your meat, children." "Scarecrow's hung us out to dry." "And that's the last mistake he's ever going to make." "Kick out the jams, Melrose." "I want Scarecrow, dead or alive." "[DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]" "LEE:" "Billy finally got in touch with me through one of our old message drops." "Sweet Rita, it's Rita Avenue at Arlington." "Yeah." "Billy and I set up that drop 10 years ago when he was still working in the field." "What is the final appeal?" "It's the last white flag before the real shooting begins." "Never thought I'd be reading a final appeal from Billy." "Damn it." "I've been on those streets for 10 years trying to make a difference because I thought I could, I believed I should." "You just can't drop that, you know." " I'm gonna meet him." " You're sure you can trust him?" "No." "But I wanna trust him one more time." "I owe him that." " I'm going with you." " No, you are not." "Oh, yeah." "I said I'd watch your tail, and that's what I'm gonna do." "[DOTTY PANTS]" "The boys caught the bus with just seconds to spare." "You know, that note their mother sent was the best thing that happened to them." "Yeah, at least we know she's all right." "Joe isn't there some way that we can let her know that the boys are okay?" "That we love her and we miss her?" "I mean, you know, knowing Amanda she's just liable to walk in here." "She doesn't know this house is being watched they're tapping our phone, opening our mail." "[SIGHS]" "Listen to me, I am beginning to sound so paranoid." "Amanda is out there with a strange man, alone." "Now, isn't there some way that we can let her know that we're okay, that we love her?" "Yes, I think there is a way." "[KNOCKING ON DOOR]" "ROSTOV:" "Alexi." "What are you doing here?" "Everyone's asking what's become of you." "We're so worried." "What about Scarecrow?" " Would you like something to eat?" " Not hungry." "What about Scarecrow?" "Scarecrow?" "Heh." "That's what brings you so far away from home?" "Is Moscow taking the offer seriously?" "What offer?" "Offer." "Heh, Scarecrow is a prize catch." "If the offer is valid, Moscow will give him whatever he wants if he defects." " You know how that works." " Oh, yes." "A Westen traitor can live life as a czar." "Women, money, the finest Black Sea dacha." "While loyal Russians serve as rat bait in Siberian dung pits." "Please sit down." "[MAKAROV SIGHS]" "I never believed that you were guilty." "Not for a moment." "It was all so unfortunate." "If Moscow proceeds, you will coordinate negotiations?" " Yes, I suppose so." " Give him to me." "Alexi, please, stop this vendetta." "It's over and done." "You're a free man now." "Enjoy your life." "In Siberia I met a man named Bachta." "He told me a fascinating story about a black-market ring in Budapest run, he insisted, by a KGB operative named Rostov." "Black-market offenses are still capital crimes, Rostov." "Billy Melrose, just the man I wanted to see." " What word?" " Nothing yet." "I'm surprised, Billy, a man with your experience and all the resources of Washington at your fingertips." " Meaning?" " Meaning I strongly advise you against pulling your punches." "You wouldn't wanna get blindsided." "I know what I'm doing." "And as long as I'm running this D-1, I'll call the shots." "SMYTH:" "Of course you will, Billy." "LEE:" "Take a couple of more steps then stop." "BILLY:" "I'm glad you came, Lee." "If anyone else had asked, I wouldn't be here." " What do you have?" " Too much." "The frequencies the Russians jammed Stemwinder with they were stolen from Dart's safe." "Your prints were all over the place." "Alexi probably lifted it off something I touched in Sonja's apartment then imprinted them on latex gloves." "It's an old trick, Billy." "You know that." "Think of it from our end." "I've been tried and convicted by Dr. Smyth." "Where do you stand, Billy?" "I'm running the D-1." "If you're telling the truth I'll go with you all the way, Scarecrow." "If you're lying, I'll shoot you myself." "[CARS APPROACHING]" "Lee!" "Cars, front and back." "[CAR DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES]" "I don't know a thing about this, Scarecrow." "I swear to you, I don't." "[WHISPERS] It's Dr. Smyth." "MAN 1:" "Move in." "Come on." "Come on." "MAN 2:" "Cover the exit." "MAN 3:" "Let's go." "MAN 1:" "You two, move upstairs." "MAN 2:" "This way." "MAN 3:" "Follow me over here, come on." "MAN 1:" "Over there." "MAN 2:" "Move it." "MAN 1:" "What do you see?" "MAN 2:" "Nothing back here." "MAN 1:" "He's not here." "MAN 2:" "Cover the stairs." "[GRUNTS]" "MAN 1:" "They've gone this way, come on." "Up top." "C'est la guerre, Billy." " I'm clean since Kenilworth Gardens." " So am I. We lost them." "We deserve to be nailed." "I'm a jerk to think that we could've walked right back in." " I never figured Billy for a double crosser." " I don't think he is." " I think he was just as surprised as we were." " Yeah, maybe." "Amanda, someone has changed the rules and we don't have a copy of the new rule book." "A final appeal has always been a truce." "It was an agent's right." "Rostov is the only one we can count on now because he needs us as much as we need him." " We have each other, that's something." " Yeah." "It's more than most people in this business will ever have." "I didn't think we'd have to go through anything like this to find out we've got it." "Hey." "Look at this." ""Confirmed R"." "That's it." "Rostov's set me defection for tomorrow morning." "Now, if we can just dodge him until then." "Wait a minute, this is from Joe." " What?" " "Panda, Debbie Ann can't come home but we got the message, and we miss her." "J.J."" "Wait a minute, now, your mother called you Panda when you were a little girl, who's Debbie Ann and J.J.?" "J.J. is Joe." "Like Jolting Joe." "Jolting Joe DiMaggio, you know?" " Yeah." "Right." " Debbie Ann is Debbie Ann Macabie." "She was my friend when we were 11." "She ran away from home and I hid her in the attic." "She wanted to go home, and she was scared of her daddy, so I snuck a note to her mom." " At least the home front's with us." " Yeah." " You feel better?" " Yeah." "Boy, it was the worst trouble I ever got in when I hid Debbie Ann Macabie in my attic." "No, it isn't." "This is." "Damn, right." "You know, this could be a bullpen full of CPA's or an ad agency." "Except that these perfectly normal folks come to work to spy on people to kill them, to topple their governments." " Billy, please." "Billy, don't go getting all moody on me, okay?" "It's just a setback." "Why don't you try giving yourself some of your own best advice?" " I mean, you do it to me all the time." " Yeah." "Stick to what you know instead of what you think you know." "Fine, what do we know?" "That shouldn't take long." "Okey, so we don't know a whole hell of a lot, but let's add this to our short list." "I asked my, uh, snitch at the task bureau to do a drawing of the man who tipped him." "The tip we followed to find Lee at the gourmet supermarket?" "Right." "A lot older, a lot grayer." "BILLY:" "Alexi Makarov." "Right here in DC." "Chalk one up for Lee." "I don't care a fig about your bruised sensibilities, Melrose." "When you've got an infection you don't put treacle on it, you burn it out." "I acted accordingly." "In the field, my agents risk their lives." "Stetson trusted me." "I can't betray that." "Stetson no longer has agent status." "Mrs. King never did." "It's not a matter of status." "No, Melrose, it's a matter of time." "Either we grab Scarecrow before he takes a walk on us or you and I will be dusting off our resumes." "I find job hunting so declasse, don't you?" "Okay, Francine, don't give me that look." "I won't blow my top just yet." "We can do more for Lee and Amanda on the case than we can off." "[PHILLIP GRUNTS]" "Oh, good shot, moonhead." "Mom said no playing basketball in the house." " Thanks for reminding me." " You're welcome." "Geek eyes." "Hey, just because your mom's not here doesn't mean you can break the rules." "[PHILLIP CLEARS THROAT]" "I'm gonna give her a full report when she gets back." "Uh, I was just putting it away, Dad." "So you could actually do some homework for a change?" " Why don't you..?" " Hey, hey, hey." "Come on, guys, come on." "Now, no fighting." "We gotta stick together." "Look, uh, I'm not supposed to say anything so you can't ask me how I know, but your mom's okay." " Did you talk to her?" " I said no questions." "Now, you're just gonna have to trust me on this." "Mm-hm, we trust you, it's just..." "Well, I don't know about Phillip, but I'm a little scared." "Not much, just a little." "You're doing a lot better than I am, because I'm a whole lot scared." "We can be scared together, okay?" " Okay, how is this?" "Can you hear me?" "LEE [OVER RADIO]:" "Loud and clear." " Save it." " Right." " What's the range?" " Up to half a mile." "Uh, that's optimum." "We won't need more than 200 yards." "Well, here we are, this quiet dinner in our cozy hideout, cleaning our guns." "Another typical evening with the spy family." "I don't know how you can be in such a good mood." "Well, I'm not." "It's just the way I handle my nerves before a big operation." "Believe me, tomorrow's as big as they come." "If Alexi shows." "Rostov sighted him near the Soviet embassy today." "He's watching." "He'll be there." "I hope I don't have to use this." "I'm not very good at 50 feet." "At 75, forget it." "Well, if you need it, it'll be a lot closer." "I hope you don't either." "[COUGHING]" "Grandfather, drink some of this." "It's all I could get in an American shop without a doctor." "[GRUNTS]" "Rostov has been in the embassy three hours." "You're sick and freezing." "I can get visas and tickets for you." "You can go south." "Montevideo is safe." "No." "I have to get Stetson." "You have to help me." " It's not working." " It is working." "Rostov is gonna give him to me." "I'm gonna kill him." "When?" "I mean, you can't ask me to keep running with you." "An outlaw against my own government." "I'm 22." "I have my whole life to live." "Please." "I'm gonna kill him." "Rostov." "Go on." "I'll track him." "I can't change his mind." "I thought not." "No matter." "It's set for tomorrow morning." "I've made the arrangements." "Stetson's not stupid." "He could be springing a trap on us." "He would, if he could." "But because of the stupidity of the agency and Dr. Smyth he can't." "Here are the arrangements." "Scarecrow wants Alexi, and we want him." "And it will all work out, Sonja." "Just be pretty and let me worry for both of us." "[PHONE BUZZES]" "Melrose." "LEE [OVER PHONE]:" "Mind your manners, Billy." "Lee, they set me up." "LEE:" "You get a chance to prove it.... ...but mind your manners and grab a pencil." "Five number groups 831-1064-822" "FRANCINE:" "Three lines of sight, unprotected parameters." "I don't need to quote you the agency TAC manual." "Then don't." "We don't use backup, not after last time." "Hear your boy's coming by again, amidst the ducks." "This time we get the Kewpie doll, okay?" "Just exactly how did you hear?" "So far, I've only told Desmond." "Did you ferrets tap my phone?" "Mind your manners." "The old recognition sequence." "Thirty five number groups." "I got the crypto boys out of their warm beds, but so far, zip city." "Some kind of private code?" "Is that a casual question, or is there something special you want?" "Yes, about 10 pounds of your backside if you don't break this code for me, presto." "Francine, wait for me in the motor pool." " Go." " Ugh." "You've been in my face from the start." "You scrap the rules when it suits your personal purpose." "You turned Lee's friends against him." "You spy on me." "All in the name of justice, your kind of justice." "I don't believe Lee's guilty, and I'm gonna give him every chance to prove that." "If you're gonna stop me, you're gonna have to stop me yourself right here and now." "MAKAROV:" "He's not coming here." "It isn't even time." "He's not coming here at all." "How can there be a mistake." "This is what I copied from Rostov's letter dropped to Stetson." "Monox Reclamation, 8:30." "Enough." "Stetson would never select such a place." "To an old spy, it just doesn't smell right." "SONJA:" "Maybe Rostov picked it." "MAKAROV:" "Oh, undoubtedly." "A bureaucrat with a tin imagination would think this a delightful place for intrigue." "That's the answer then." "He'll be here." "[COUGHING]" "Grandfather?" "Grandfather?" "Stetson would never agree." "But you know that, huh, Sonja?" " You don't trust me?" " Heh, you're my granddaughter." "I want you out of this." "I did it for you." "At least don't try to deceive an old deceiver, Sonja." "Rostov must have pointed out that you look good in Moscow." "You got them, uh, the Stemwinder frequencies." "But if my plan had worked, the agency would have eliminated Stetson and you would look even better." "Well, it's true." "With Stetson, Rostov can ignore your threats." "But this blood thirst of yours, it can get us both killed even by our own people." "[COUGHING]" "MAKAROV:" "Don't do it." "Don't even try." "That American cough syrup, a wonderful medicine." "A little test." "We survivors never completely trust anyone." "It's how we survive." "You're helping Rostov take Stetson." "Rostov left me no choice." "Neither do I." "[GRUNTS]" "Take me to Stetson or you will be running from my wrath all you life even if you are flesh of my flesh." "I have enough friends left in the KGB to make your life a living hell." "AMANDA:" "Back into the shadows, you got no cover." " How's that?" "AMANDA [OVER EARPHONE]:" "Better." "I've got Rostov to your left." "Two men with him at the top of the bleachers." "LEE:" "Yeah, I see them." " Alexi?" " Not yet." "Or Billy or Francine." "LEE:" "Maybe they're dug in down here somewhere." "All right, here I go." "You see Alexi, sing out." "Loud and long." "Good luck." "No sign of our friend." "You made sure he knew?" "I somehow doubt Alexi is coming." "Perhaps you should allow us to chaperone you to safety." "My men have guns aimed at you, so let's keep this pleasant, all right?" "Put the gun down slowly." "Thanks, Billy." "Take a look around, I got a bad feeling about this." "I'm looking." "[AMANDA GRUNTS]" "[ROSTOV GRUNTS]" "Lee, I've got Sonja." "LEE:" "Damn." "[GRUNTS]" "This is fitting." "Just the two of us." "Perhaps it should have always been just the two." "Heh, your Mrs. King has been a great ally to you." "You're trapped, Makarov." "You're gonna lose." "Not so." "All I need is you and I win." "What other recourse do I have?" "Deportation?" "Another trip to the gulag?" "I'm dead now." "I simply want you to join me." "Whoa." "[GRUNTS]" "[MAKAROV COUGHS]" "[BOTH GRUNTING]" "Scarecrow." "Scarecrow." "Come on, it's okay." "It's over." "Let him up to breathe." "[MAKAROV COUGHS]" "Okay, Scarecrow, let's take the catch of the day back to Dr. Smyth." "I'm gonna enjoy explaining to him how Stemwinder was really blown." " Let's go." "Come on." " Yes, sir." "Well, I don't think I've seen the boys this well-behaved in an awful long time." "Well, I sure enjoyed it." "Well, that part at least." "Maybe someday I can tell you what this was all about, Joe." "Hmm, I know enough about the agency to know that maybe I don't wanna know." " Good night." "AMANDA:" "Good night." "[SIGHS]" "[CAR DOOR OPENS]" "[CAR DOOR CLOSES]" "Okay, fellas, better get upstairs and do your homework." "I wish you'd met this Agent Melrose." "He was polite, but threatening." "Heh, I have a mind to write to somebody." "I'm sure he was just doing his job, Mother." "Oh, all this brouhaha about a couple of people from a film company." "I mean, is that how they spend our taxes?" "I don't understand everything, I admit but people talking about traitor and fugitive." "And you running off with some strange man, alone." "I'm supposed to just stand here and accept this as normal behavior." "The Ferguson's dog's in the backyard again, Mother." "Get him if you can." " Hi." " Oh." "[AMANDA MOANS]" " Mm." "I misse you." " I missed you too." "Yeah." " Listen, I have a big surprise for you." " Yeah, what?" " Dr. Smyth..." " Mm-hm." " Never holds a grudge." " Oh, good." "He's so impressed, he wants to offer you a full-time job." "Working with you?" " I think that can be arranged, heh." " Oh, good, heh." " So how is everybody?" " Oh, everybody's fine." " Your mom?" "The kids?" " Fine." "Fine." "Your ex?" " He's fine." " Huh." " You're jealous." "Don't be jealous." " Heh." "I love him." "I'm always gonna love him." "But I'm in love with you." "DOTTY:" "Amanda?" "Did you get him?" "I'm working on it."
