SCENE 2
X:
Now that Agent F has been briefed, I have an urgent mission from
a high profile client who has just retained our services. As you
know, we usually like to fly under the radar and seek out our own
Christmas missions, but this client was particularly convincing on
the phone. She insisted on coming in to give us the mission herself.
MS. KING:
(walking in, very glamorous, dark glasses) Who is in charge here?
X:
I am. You must be Ms. King? Agents, I'd like to introduce you to Ms.
Harriet King.
MS. KING: Harret . . . rhymes with parrot.
X:
I'm sorry?
MS. KING: It's pronounced "Harret." The "i" is silent.
X:
(writing on a pad) Okay, so King . . . Harret. Got it.
L:
Did you say King Herod?
X:
I said King Harret. King, comma, Harret.
L:
Well, it sounded like—
X:
I know what it sounded like, but—
MS. KING:
(interrupting) Can we get on with this?
