(Safe house. Claudia is meeting with Elizabeth and Phillip)
Elizabeth: You mean we have to go? They can't extend us for another season?
Phillip: You knew this was coming, Elizabeth. Besides, the Soviet Union is about to disappear. What reason will we have to spy, anyway?
Claudia: Really, dear, the show has jumped the shark. I'm sorry.
Elizabeth: But Stan still hasn't found out there's a nest of KGB spies next door!
Phillip: No, and I haven't defected either.
Elizabeth (to Phillip): You weren't going to do that.
Phillip: I could have. If I got an offer for my own reality show.
Elizabeth: The CIA doesn't give you reality shows if you defect. And there are no reality shows now. That happens like 25 years into the future.
Phillip: It could happen.
Elizabeth (turning back to Claudia): And what about Paige?
Claudia: Paige has a new assignment.
Elizabeth (quizzically): She does?
Claudia: Yes, she's moving to Moscow to spy for the CIA.
Elizabeth: WHAT? What do you mean?
Claudia: Calm down. It's for a TV series. It's about an American man and woman who live in Moscow as man and wife and speak with an incredibly real Russian accent. It's called...
Elizabeth and Claudia, Elizabeth rolling eyes :The Russians.
Elizabeth looks over at Phillip: Did you know about this?
Phillip: Elizabeth, Paige has been spying for the CIA since she was about 6 months old. Haven't you figured that out yet?
Elizabeth (back to Claudia): Who have you paired her up with?
Claudia: I think his name is Max. Maxwell Umneia.
Elizabeth: Maxwell SMART? He's the laughingstock of the CIA!
Claudia: But he's very nice. And in time, Paige will learn to love him.
Elizabeth: I don't think so. This is all very upsetting.
(Stan enters)
Stan: Hi Claudia, Hi Phillip, Elizabeth.
Elizabeth & Phillip: What are YOU doing here?
Stan: Oh, Claudia has just asked me to fill her in on Star Wars.
Phillip: You mean the new defense plan of the Americans?
Stan (laughing): No, the movie series!
Claudia: I'm a huge fan of Han Solo. (She bends closer to Phillip and Elizabeth) There are rumors of a prequel.
Elizabeth (to Stan): How do you know her?
Stan: Claudia? She's my biggest source!
Claudia: Sorry I never got around to telling you guys. I flipped about 10 years ago.
(Awkward pause.)
Elizabeth: Well, if you say so, I guess the show is really over. (Turns to Phillip) Where will we go now?
Claudia: You can always bunk with Paige in Moscow.
Elizabeth: And with Maxwell Smart? No thanks.
Phillip: And what about Martha?
Elizabeth: OK, if she'll talk to us, I guess we could stay with Martha.
Elizabeth: You mean we have to go? They can't extend us for another season?
Phillip: You knew this was coming, Elizabeth. Besides, the Soviet Union is about to disappear. What reason will we have to spy, anyway?
