Quotes 

• Mrs. Amanda King : I'd just like to go on the record as saying that I regard Lee as a friend and as such I'm a little uncomfortable in snitching and spying on a friend.

  Francine Desmond : Oh, don't be. That is standard operating procedure around here.

• Mrs. Amanda King : Lee's behavior, sir, you see he's been making extremely detailed lists. He's become conscious of the most minute details. He's neat, prompt, organized. You can see why I'm worried.

  Alec Belmont : No. Neatness and precision are expected of all our agents.

  Mrs. Amanda King : [In an aside to Billy]  Does he know Lee?

• Barbie : What happened to your wrist?

  Amanda King : Oh, well, I went to my self-defense course last night and my teacher's name is Joseph, they call him Mad Dog, Garrity, anyway, he said to come at him with everything we had so I swung my purse and I hit him and I forgot I had this little doorknob in there...

  Barbie : But what happened to your wrist?

  Amanda King : He bit me.

• Amanda : And here's your comb with the two missing teeth.

  Lee : Ah.

  Amanda : I didn't know you were so particular about little tiny details.

  Lee : This comb is not a little tiny detail. This is the correct comb for my hair.

  Amanda : Oh...

  Lee : Details are important. Step by step precision is crucial in life. It's separates the slobs from the princes.

• Dr. Ogden Chrysler : All right, what's your connection to Scarecrow, Mrs. King?

  Amanda King : Eh, if you're referring to Mr. Stetson, I'm just his Bedside Bluebell, that's all.

  Dr. Ogden Chrysler : And was his, eh, Bedside Bluebell doing snooping around in Dr. Glaser's office, going through file folders?

  Amanda King : I was looking for the laundry room and I got lost.

  Dr. Ogden Chrysler : That's a terrible answer.

  Amanda King : Well, no, you don't know me, you see, how easily I get lost, I mean, just the other day...
