Quotes 

• Amanda : What the Sam Hill do you think you are doing? First you cannot get rid of me fast enough, then you barge in and drag me out of an interview for a perfectly good job, you say you are my husband, a lie which I do not find funny, and where do you think you are taking me?

  Lee : We're getting married.

  Amanda : That's asking too much.

• Lee : [points upstairs]  Are you coming?

  Amanda : No, I can't sleep here. How would I explain it? I feel like I was lying, and sneaking.

  Lee : You are lying and sneaking. You're working for the government.

• Amanda : As far as I can tell, espionage is highly overrated, good-bye. They don't even pay over time.

• Amanda : You realize I have to make an appointment to see my own children?

  Dorothy : I know... it's terrifying how fast they drift away. I mean, one minute you're changing their diapers, and the next minute they're off in Honduras, getting tattoos.

• Bobby Bouchard : Do you know what lying does for your skin? Lying causes stress and stress wrinkles the skin. Capillaries burst, the skin flakes... a lying face is not a pretty face. Now tell me what you were doing in the Bodeen house and what did Frank say to you!

  Amanda : I went to borrow a cup of sugar, and Mr. Bodeen didn't say anything to me because he was already dead.

  Bobby Bouchard : Willfulness is even less attractive than lying.

• Amanda : I type 80 words a minute, 90 if you don't count typos, and I'd really rather not make coffee.
