Kevin, Lucy, and Siggy Do Lunch

Our show begins with Lucy in full battle regalia, searching for her missing fragrance essences, Kevin enters and watches... Lucy finally pauses for breath...

L: "Hi."

K: "Problems?"

L: "Major. And look how calm and reasonable I'm staying. Mmmm... you look mighty handsome, by the way."

(Well, of course, he was wearing the blue coat!)

L: "Thank you very much. And may I say, you look..."

(We'll never know because Lucy is back in full rant... however, Kevin and Sigmund seem to be making friends...)

K: "This is calm and reasonable Lucy?"

(Sigmund quacks his agreement.)

(Lucy has now most definitely lost her "calm" and Kevin asks...)

K: "Having trouble with your essences?"

L: "You are a brilliant man."

K: "And you need these to make perfume?"

L: "That's right."

K: "Mmmm... well, I can see why finding these would definitely be of the essence."

(Kevin and Sigmund enjoy a good laugh, but Kevin warns the duck...)

K: "Shhh... not funny."

L: "I am involved in the biggest crisis of my professional life here."

K: "Sorry, momentary lapse. However, I do have a suggestion."

L: "OK, good, because I could use one just about now."

K: "Well, since we don't seem to be going out to lunch afterall..."

L: "Oh, of course, that's why you're here. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I forgot. It's just, well, I couldn't possibly go out today. First, it's Sigmund..."

K: "Sigmund?"

L: "He gets very upset and terribly lonely if I leave him all by himself. Not to mention, I'm involved in a major crisis right now."

K: "I can see that and I understand. Therefore, my alternate plan is to send something in, we put our heads together and see if we can't figure it out."

L: "You are the very best friend I've ever had."

(Smile... kiss... Quack?!?!)

K: "Get over it, Sigmund."

(When we return, Kevin and Lucy are lunching.)

K : "We were definitely on the right track there for a while. Never muck around with middle men, or women, go directly to the person who can fix the problem. However, in the future, Lucy, you may want to refrain from laughing out loud when someone tells you their job title. Often that person is the one who can lead you to the solution... or not."

L: "How did you get to be so smart?"

K: "Smart is a goal."

L: "I sit in awe of you."

K: "Prove it."

L: "Meaning?"

K: "There a lock on that door?"

(I'd say Kevin has learned this particular lesson of Lucy's quite well!)

L: "Yep..."

(Kevin stands, locks the door, starts to take of his jacket, and turns to find Lucy... on the phone. Kevin's... face... falls...)

K: "What are you doing?"

L: "I'm taking your advice. I'm going right to the top. I am calling my French supplier."

K: "Oh good."

(Somehow, I don't think this is what Kevin had in mind when he locked the door. Lucy is chatting up the Frenchman and Kevin and Sigmund are bonding over a sandwich. Lucy ends the call with...)

L: "Love you, mon cheri, au revoir, c'est la vie, pommes frites, ta-ta, tutu. We did it. There, you see what fast thinking I have."

K: "I sit in awe of you."

L: "I love it when you quote me. Well, boy, there's nothing like a crisis averted to bring your appetite roaring back. Where's my sandwich."

(Kevin is trying to look innocent, but Sigmund's a slow eater.) (When we return, Lucy proposes...)

L: "A toast."

K: "I don't think so."

L: "Oh come on, to the two fine minds who figured my way out of potential calamity."

K: "Hasn't anyone ever told you? It's very bad luck to toast with water."

L: "That's OK, because this is sparkling water. I'm sure whoever thought of that was thinking of tap water. Besides, I am on a roll and when I'm on a roll, nothing can stop me..."

(Tempting the soap.gods, disaster strikes. Lucy gets back on the phone and Kevin tells Sigmund...)

K: "I tried to warn her, never toast with water."
