| Sydney: Homina� homina� homina� Dixon: Syd? Sydney: Plant� plant go boom! Dixon: Dude, what the hell�s wrong with you? Sydney: Uhhh� Danny flashback? Dixon: You know, that excuse is only going to work for so long. Sydney: How much longer? Dixon: I dunno. Haven�t you been pashing your reporter buddy on the rebound? Sydney: He hardly knows you, and he told you about that? Dixon: Man, he�s telling everyone about that! Sydney: I know that your husband investigated people who were suspected of being KGB agents. Tell me, did he ever mention anyone by the name of Jack Bristow? Mrs. Calder: Afraid not. He didn�t talk much about work. He wasn�t a very nice man. (pulls out photo) See? Look at him. He was a very ugly and smelly and nasty person. Sydney: So why�d you marry him? Mrs. Calder: (shrugs) He was also a demon in the sack. Sydney: Ew! Wait a minute� (studies photograph) I know that man! Mrs. Calder: You do? Then I suppose you know how good he was first hand? Sydney: I didn�t know him like that! Vaughn: Okay, slow down. What�s all this about your mother�s death? Sydney: My father always told me that they were driving home from seeing a movie when some jerk rammed them off the road. They went over the side of the road, down a cliff, and into a lake. Dad managed to swim to safety, but Mum never made it. I always thought that he�d been rammed because someone didn�t like his driving, but then I found out that the guy who rammed him (pulls out a newspaper clipping which shows photos of the deceased � Laura Bristow and Calder) was Calder! It all leads me back to the same conclusion � Calder was chasing them, because he suspected Dad of working for the KGB! It�s because of Dad that my mother�s dead! (sobs) Vaughn: �(yawns) I�m bored. You�re boring, Sydney. Francie: So, are you going to confess that you�ve been boinking that Rachel woman? Charlie: Francie, I want to be a singer. Francie: �what �chu talkin� �bout, foo�? Charlie: Ouch. I wince at your stereotypical bad grammar. I don�t like working at Wolfram & Hart. They seem evil. Eviller than most law firms. I�ve auditioned for American Idol. Rachel is my piano player � we�ve been rehearsing all this time. Francie: �that I was not expecting. Will: (into phone) You got the details of that numberplate I took down? (pauses) Great, you�re the best! Thanks, man! (hangs up and writes down the details) Jenny: ztruK esiolE? Will: You�re reading it upside down. The woman pretending to be Kate Jones is Eloise Kurtz. Jenny: So what are you going to do now? Will: I think it�s time for awkward confrontation #2! Jack: Wazzup!!! Sydney: Why are you here? Sloane: Jack has finished his assignment out at Cover-Job Aerospace. He�s going to work in the office with us here so he can help coordinate missions under the cover as portfolio manager for Credit Dauphine. Sydney: Wow, this is exciting. Watch as I try to contain my excitement. Dixon: So far, so good. Sloane: Here, this is for you. Sydney: (opens a card that sings, �Happy Birthday.�) But my birthday was in April! Sloane: It�s a code. Sydney: Really? What does it say? Marshall: We don�t know. We told you it�s a code, right? Sydney: Oh. Sloane: I want you and Dixon to go to London to get the code-reading device. It�s hidden in the most obvious place of all time � an art gallery! Sydney: How is that obvious? Sloane: Why are you always questioning my judgement? Jack: I heard about Badenweiler. It�s terrible. Sydney: I know that you were outrunning the FBI when Mum died. Jack: �you do? Sydney: Every time I think I know how horrible you really are, I find out even more! Jack: (sighs) How do you ever expect us to have a happy father-daughter relationship if you keep on bringing up all my shameful past secrets? Will: (knocks on door) Hello! Pizza delivery for I.C. Weiner! Eloise Kurtz: (opens door) There�s no I.C. Weiner here� (gasps) you! Will: Please, just give me five minutes! Kurtz: No. (sprays pepper spray in his face and slams the door) Will: Argh! But I hate peppers on my pizza! Vaughn: Here, take this bug. Sydney: Ew. I hate cockroaches. Do I have to? Vaughn: We want to find out what the curator�s up to at the museum. That cockroach is wearing a hidden microphone. Leave it in his office somewhere. As for the code-reader, I�m too lazy to try another switch, so just give it to SD-6. We�ll get the data off the worm on the computer network. Sydney: Okay. But what happens if the curator calls in an exterminator? Vaughn: Then all hope is lost. I checked up on your father, by the way. He�s clean. No suspicion or anything. Sydney: I told him that I knew about what happened. Vaughn: Sydney, you�ve gotta keep your cool. What if you lose your temper with Sloane the way you did with your dad? That could be the end of you! Sydney: Hey, bite my shiny metal ass! Vaughn: It doesn�t look that shiny to me. Sydney: Shinier than yours, meatbag. I grew up without a mother because of this stupid spy work. You can�t possibly know what it�s like! Vaughn: Shows what you know. My dad was a CIA agent. He was killed in the field when I was 12. Sydney: Oh. (awkward pause) How�d he die? Vaughn: Buggered if I know. It�ll probably come out into the open in a few weeks though. Sydney: Well that�s good. Sydney: Ready to create a diversion? Dixon: You got it. (lights up a cigar) Museum Curator: Excuse me sir, but this is a non-smoking gallery. Dixon: Not any more. (Sprinkler system activates, soaking everyone and extinguishing Dixon�s cigar) Curator: You were saying? Dixon: I hate smug Englishmen. Sydney�s brain: I got the code reader, but I accidentally tripped the alarm, and this passage is a dead-end! Wait, I know! I�ll hide in this steam vent! (TEN MINUTES LATER) Sydney: I got it. Let�s go. Dixon: Wait, something�s different about you. Your chic green dress � it�s five sizes too small for you! It was only two sizes too small for you when we came in here! Sydney: I don�t wanna talk about it. Simon Cowell: You suck. Random Auditionee #42: Awww� Charlie: We�re next. Wish us luck guys. Will, Sydney, Francie: Good luck Charlie! Amy: Go get �em! Charlie: �what are you and your radioactive hair doing here? Amy: (shrugs) I guess J.J. decided this scene wasn�t bright enough. Kurtz: (into phone) I�m sorry I sprayed you. They paid me to tell you I�d been having an affair with Danny, and I needed the money to get my car fixed. Will: I know a really good mechanic, if it helps. He�s cheap too. I�ll give you his number. Kurtz: Thanks, that�d be great. Will: Wait a sec, why are we talking about your car? I want to talk about Danny! Kurtz: Oh, for goodness sakes. Isn�t it obvious something terrible is about to happen to me? That car�s going to be your next clue, dumbass! Charlie: So, whaddya think? Cowell: TOUCHDOWN!!! (sirens wail and fireworks go off) Paula Abdul: �touchdown? Cowell: What? What�s wrong with touchdown? Abdul: You�ve been hanging out with that idiot Idol judge from Australia, haven�t you? Cowell: �maybe. Sydney: Ow! What did that code reader just do to me? Marshall: It took a sample of your DNA tissue. Sydney: That hurt! Sloane: This is how they apparently read the codes. It would only be accessible to someone who had the correct DNA. Sydney: My finger�s bleeding now! Sloane: Someone get her a band-aid. Marshall: (sings) Feed the wooooorld! Let them know it�s Christmas time! Sloane: Not that kind of band-aid. These codes were addressed to some dude named Parkishov, but he�s dead. That should make it easier to get his DNA, but unfortunately, we don�t know where he�s buried. Jack: This guy is named Shepherd. He�s the assassin who killed Parkishov. He�ll be able to tell us where he left the corpse. Sydney: And what if he cremated him? Sloane: You and your what-ifs are beginning to get on my nerves. Sydney: Sorry. So where�s Shepherd? Jack: He checked himself into a mental bin in Romania. Sydney: Oh great. Only the real hardcore villains come out of Romania. Sloane: Like who? Sydney: (counts off on her fingers) Dracula, the Antichrist � if you believe the teachings of Dr. Tim LaHaye, at any rate. I don�t think I need a third. Jack: Shepherd was a sleeper agent. He was trained to kill, and then to forget what he did. He was programmed to remember and forget whenever he heard a specific phrase. Sydney: Why didn�t they just train someone with Alzheimer�s? Sloane: Shut up. We�re sending you in with Agent Fisher. Sydney: Who? Sloane: Look, you�re the one who wanted me to stop calling people random-expendable-this-and-that! Jack: You have no idea what really happened! Sydney: Then tell me! Jack: I can�t! You don�t have clearance! Sydney: I don�t have clearance to hear how my mother died?!? Jack: That�s right. Look, maybe it�ll all be exposed in a week or two� Sydney: That�s too long! I wanna know now! Will: (knocks at the door) Hello, Miss Kurtz? (door swings open, and he walks in.) Huh. Will�s brain: No-one here. Or anything, either. The whole place is empty. Will: Did she paint recently? I don�t remember the walls being white� or white with red specks, either. Will�s brain: You take your time. Will: Huh? (embarrassingly long pause.) Ohh. This Week�s Random Evil Doctor: So why are you admitting her to our facility? Fisher: She�s a raving psychotic. She thinks that she�s some kind of secret government agent, and that her boss killed her fianc�! Sydney: But he did! Fisher: Total loon. T.W.R.E.D.: Obviously. Okay, I�ll throw her in here with our other nutbags. Marshall: Oh no! There�s a hacker on our network! They�re downloading all the files off the server! Sloane: (stands up, makes a dramatic pose, as if hoping the wind would blow his hair dramatically, but the low level A.C. doesn�t stand a chance) Someone get me my shovel. I have a mole to find. Shepherd: Who the hell are you? Sydney�s brain: Okay, now what was the trigger phrase again? Oh yeah! Sydney: I loved you in The Mummy Returns! Shepherd: RRAAAAAARRRR!!! (leaps across the table and grabs at her throat) Why doesn�t anyone ever remember my roles in movies where I didn�t play a complete idiot?!? Random CIA Flunkie: Hey, where�s Vaughn? Weiss: Everyone always wants to know where Vaughn is! No-one ever asks about poor old Weiss! (mopes) I�m so unloved� R.C.I.A.F.: Uh-huh. So where is he? Weiss: He�s our representative at the funeral of those agents we sent to their fiery doom last week. R.C.I.A.F.: Oh. Well when he gets back, you better tell him that the loony bin where you sent Bristow is run by K-Directorate. Weiss: Well that�s just great. You don�t think you could have told us that before we sent her in? Sydney: Fisher, why won�t you answer me? Sydney�s brain: Could it possibly have something to do with that bloody gash across his throat? Sydney: Maybe. I�m beginning to wonder if I�m dealing with another evil doctor who never went to medical school. |
