MS. KING: Commander, when do you expect an update from your team? I'm
very anxious to continue my . . . uh . . . (stutters as she says it) C . . .
C . . . Christmas celebrations.
Don't worry, Ms. King. I'm sure we'll receive a transmission any
minute now.
X:
MS. KING: Excellent! I've scheduled a quick manicure in the lounge while we
wait.
(confused) Lounge? What "lounge?"
X:
MS. KING: That tiny space around the corner.
X:
(patiently) My office?
MS. KING: Oh, sure, sweetie. (exits stage)
TINY:
(coming up, obviously concerned) Commander, why are we helping
her?
X:
What do you mean, Agent Tiny? She's our client—of course we want
to help her.
TINY:
She, she . . . (whispers) doesn't like Christmas!
ALL:
(shocked) What?
X:
Why would you say something like that?
TINY:
I heard her say it with my own ears.
SPY 1:
I heard her say if they were doing anything with Christmas, she
would evict them!
TINY:
I don't know what that means, but it doesn't sound nice.
SPY 2:
It means "kick them out."
ALL:
Oh, no! (etc.)
X:
Don't panic, everyone. We'll simply call the emergency channel in
their hats, telling them not to activate the JingleAlert!
