THERE GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD
To investigate
the case, Lee enlists Amanda's help and they pose as a married couple then move
into the area. Billy had told Lee that it would be nice if at least one of them
were 'normal' to carry out the charade.
Amanda soon
makes friends with the local women and they get her to become a Connie Beth
cosmetics saleslady. This business is, of course, a front for the gun smugglers
and with Amanda's help, Lee soon learns that the guns are being shipped out in
a very unusual fashion - the hairdryers conceal various parts of the guns that
need to be reconstructed once they reach South America. Since no complete guns
are being shipped, they can't be detected.
While trying
to pull Amanda off the case, Lee finds that she has gone to a Connie Beth sales
meeting and fearing for her safety, rushes to the meeting. Amanda has been
captured and between them they get free, using a crane to aid their escape.
SCENES TO
WATCH OUT FOR:
Lee
interrupting Amanda's interview for a job at Honeycutt Typewriter.
Amanda trying
to explain why she doesn't want to spend the night in the house she's sharing
with Lee.
Lee and
Amanda's argument in their 'cheery' kitchen.
ROMANCE:
There are a
few moments were Lee seems to soften towards Amanda. A cute scene is just after
the row in the kitchen where they don't know how to say goodbye to each other
and suddenly shake hands – might be me but they definitely seem to hold hands
longer than necessary. Lee then concedes that he thinks "blue looks
better."
At the end of
the case, Lee asks if Amanda wants to go for a drink so that he can tell her
how the guns were being smuggled but she declines.
At the very
end of the episode, we see Lee driving along in his car and he looks at
Amanda's 'wedding' ring with a contemplative smile before putting it away.
QUOTES:
Francine:
Children. This case is nastier than I thought.
Amanda: I
can't sleep here. How would I explain it? I'd feel like I was lying and
sneaking.
Lee: You are
lying and sneaking. You're working for the government.
Lee: How you
do a kitchen is you hire a guy with a French name, tell him how much you want
to spend, then go skiing till it's over.
Amanda: You
know, that's your whole problem. You're out of touch.
Francine: So,
how is married life treating you, huh? Dinner at six? Dishes at seven? TV till
nine?
Lee: Bed.
Francine: Bed?
Lee: You know,
Francine, I've gained a lot of respect for the generosity and . . . stamina of
the American housewife.
Francine:
You're disgusting.
Dotty: There
is no question about it. I mean, the trouble with some people is they vanish
from your life just as quickly as they came. With some
men, you can
have an absolutely thrilling evening and there's no guarantee that you're ever
going to see them again. You know what I
mean?
Amanda: Yeah.
Tell me about it.
