"We'll fill out the form, and they'll deliver it to you." "In the meantime," "I will take you girls shopping." "We can go through all the latest boutiques in Stockholm." "Oh, and maybe a glass of wine by the Nybrokajen?" "Of course, I'll, uh, go and grab the car, and I'll meet you girls on the curbside." "Shall I take your bags?" "Please." "We'll be there with bells on." "Just take it easy, okay?" "I don't need a babysitter." "No, you need an overprotective younger sister." "[Cell phone rings] Be right there." "Auggie you working late, huh?" "Actually, my day's just getting started." "How's the vacation?" "Huh." "I have a feeling it's not a vacation anymore." "Oh, the Agency wouldn't be asking if it wasn't time sensitive." "All right, what's the mission?" "We need you to courier an eyes-only envelop to the Tre Kronor Gala at Waterfront Congress Centre this afternoon." "That's a tough ticket." "See?" "There are perks to the job."
