#58. The Minus-X Affair

IK: That's the third suit in three days.

***

IK: Alright, I'll be in directly, Mr Solo can stay here and rest up a bit.

AW: Rest? Rest what for?

IK: He was run over by a truck.

NS: A large truck.

IK: A small truck.

AW: I see. Well I suppose that means we shall have to reimburse him for still one more suit of clothes this month. We're not made of money you know.

***

NS: How's your headache?

IK: Nicely throbbing thank you.

***

AW: Wear a less expensive suit this time will you?

IK: The Trumpet player.

Whittaker: He attacked me.

IK: You bet I did. Listen that man is...

MP: Knock it off fella. You don't go around striking an officer in this outfit.

IK: Listen if you will take both of us to your Commanding Officer.

MP: What's your name fella? And what are you doing in a restricted corridor, huh?

IK: My name is Illya Kuryakin and I am a member of the U.N.C...

MP: Kuryakin? That's a pretty weird name Kuryakin. Where're you from fella? What unit? Recite the chain of command.

IK: Good grief.

MP: Alright take him to detention.

***

IK: Look here my friend...

MP: Sir.

IK: Look here, sir, chow has been over for twenty minutes.

MP: Look I called security twice already. They'll get back to me when they can and until they do you just keep it buttoned up okay fella. Here have some coffee.

IK: It keeps me awake.

IK: (Looking at Napoleon's ruined trousers.) Mr Waverly is gonna love that.
