I just don't understand it.

It was supposed to be a Carefully guarded secret

That the defecting agent was going To be smuggled into this country

- in a barrel of sauerkraut. - sauerkraut?

- yes. - I wish you'd told me that before, chief.

Why?

Because when I was there Shooting it out with them

I used a barrel of Sauerkraut for cover.

He got riddled with bullets.

Max, there are hundreds Of barrels here.

The chances that you Picked that particular one

To hide behind is very unlikely.

I wouldn't bet on that, chief,

Because the barrel of sauerkraut I used did a lot of screaming.

I wish I could figure Out who tipped off kaos.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hi, honey. Did I catch You at a bad time?

Yes, well, to tell You the truth, 99,

The chief and I are shooting it Out with a couple of kaos agents.

Okay, I'll keep it short.

Would you pick Up a... Hold it, 99.

Chief, I can't hear A word 99 is saying.

Would you put a Silencer on your gun?

What is it, sweetheart?

I wondered if you could Stop on the way home

And pick up a bottle Of wine for dinner.

How about a nice bottle Of petit chablis 1957?

That would be marvelous.

don't forget the corkscrew.

We won't need a corkscrew.

Try not to be late For dinner, max.

99, what are you Doing home so early?

I thought you were Out on an assignment.

I was, but I wound it up early.

I was being followed by some Kaos men, but I outsmarted them.

I sent them on a Wild goose chase.

- where did you send them? - to pier 47.

That's too bad. It would have been Better if you'd sent them to pier 50.

- why? - we're at pier 47.

Listen, honey, I've got To get back to work.

I'll talk to you later.

Right, max. And Please drive carefully.

I don't want you to have An accident on the way home.

Hmm, well, that doesn't Sound like much fun.

Listen, why don't you come home And have dinner with 99 and me?

You haven't seen the apartment Since it's been redecorated.

But if reinforcements Don't get here soon

I don't think either you or I will be Going home to have dinner with 99.

Don't tell me you ran Out of ammunition too.

- I ran out of ammunition. - I told you not to tell me that.

Wait a minute, chief. You can't have this wine.

I'm taking it home. 99 and I are Gonna have it with dinner tonight.

You can't make a molotov Cocktail with wine.

- I know that. - you have to make it with vodka.

Max, hand me that Can over there.

You've got to be very careful When you're opening a bottle of wine,

Because if you're not, you get little Corks floating around in the wine.

Here.

Here you are, chief.

All over the warehouse Floor. You're making a big mess.

Just be quiet and Keep your eye on them.

- no, I don't think so. - well, I won't keep you.

Oh!

I've done it again. Oh, max, I'm so sorry!

That's just reflex Action, you know.

I guess I've been a spy Longer than I've been a wife

And every time someone sneaks Up behind me I just automatically...

Everything went pretty good.

We got two kaos Agents, a bottle of wine

And a pint of sauerkraut.

Asking all kinds of Questions, prying.

Oh, max, she may be a pain In the neck and a busybody,

- but she's an awfully sweet person. - mmm.

Well, she got two out of three.

Look who's talking...

Mr. Suave who wears His socks to bed.

I only do that

So I won't get my feet Dirty from the sheets.

Anyway, I can think of better jobs than Sitting around this crummy apartment

Listening in on a couple Of control agents.

Maybe you can think of better Jobs, but you can't get any.

If my brother arnold weren't District manager of kaos

We wouldn't even have this,

Oh, mighty prince Of unemployment.

- guess who's coming to dinner. - who?

The chief.

Oh, boy, if this isn't enough,

Now we've got sit around And listen to an indian all night.

The chief of control, dummy.

Max, did you say the chief?

You invited your boss For dinner tonight?

Well, I know that, but This is the first time

He's been to dinner Since we've been married,

And I am your wife And he is your boss,

- and I wanted everything to be perfect. - 99.

Oh, max, you could have Given me some warning.

All we're having is Artichoke hearts vinaigrette

With fresh baby Shrimp and vichyssoise

And beef wellington.

Well, he'll just have to Take pot luck, that's all.

And dessert... We Don't have any dessert.

And you know how The chief loves dessert.

Well, why don't you serve The vichyssoise as dessert

And tell him that it was Potato ice cream that melted?

I'll think of something.

Why? What difference Does it make?

If he doesn't see it, he'll Think we didn't like it.

- what was it he gave us? - I don't remember,

But I'm sure it was Something we didn't like.

Chief: there's an emergency Meeting at the pentagon tonight

and I'm going to go There directly from here.

- how do you like that? - I don't. It's terrible.

If you weren't so Busy stuffing yourself

You would have heard What they were saying.

Is because the garbage Man refuses to take it away.

Well, if you'd been Listening you'd know

That the chief has An attache case

full of top secret Papers with him.

- it might mean a big bonus for us! - yeah.

And we sure could Use the extra money.

We could eat out more.

We've got to get a look At the names on that list.

But it's going to take finesse.

Yeah. Why don't we kill them?

Oh, that's some finesse.

Kaos goes to all the Trouble to set us up

With a permanent Pipeline to their apartment

To learn control's secrets,

And you want to blow the Whole thing by killing them.

They're upstairs and She's in the kitchen.

So you take the Pictures in there,

So that if anyone comes back Unexpectedly they won't see you.

You're lucky to have Such lovely things, honey.

Look at these Exquisite wine goblets.

I'd love to have some, but peanut Butter doesn't come in them.

There's no flash Attachment on this camera.

Dummy, you've been Taking pictures in the dark?

I'm a dummy? You're the One that shoved me in here.

Shut up. Come and Take them out here.

We don't have much time.

I've tried everything In the medicine cabinet

And nothing worked.

Not even those little Chocolate things.

- chief. - huh?

I think you'd better Rest over there

- on the couch for a while. - all right.

- I'll be back in a few minutes. - where are you going?

I'm going into the kitchen To destroy that recipe.

Suppose you can't find it?

Then I'm going to Destroy the kitchen.

- max? - what?

If she tries to Stop you, kill her.

- 99. - I think the dinner went well, max.

- yes. - the chief certainly seemed to enjoy it.

99, there's something That I have to tell you.

He went through the artichokes And the beef wellington

Like he hadn't eaten in a week.

But there's one thing I can't Take credit for, that's the dessert.

You certainly can't.

No. Mrs. Farkas made the mousse.

- mrs. Farkas made the mousse? - mm-hmm.

It was really a coincidence.

Remember I told you I Didn't have any dessert?

Well, it was almost as Though she knew that,

Because when I came Out into the kitchen

Desperately looking for Something to serve the chief

There she was with the mousse.

Max, can I talk to You for a minute?

It was a lovely dinner, 99.

Hurry up and take the pictures.

We'll have to do it More often, chief.

Mrs. Farkas. - naomi.

Keep your voice down, honey, And don't yell for your husband.

You might as well Know we're kaos.

You're holding a gun on her and I'm Taking pictures of secret documents.

Who else would she think We were, sonny and cher?

So you see, chief, it wasn't 99 Who made the chocolate mousse.

It was our neighbor mrs. Farkas.

- farkas. Farkas... - yes, they moved in about two weeks ago.

That name sounds Familiar to me, max.

Farkas. Describe them to me.

Well, let me see now.

- short, muscular tough-looking. - what did she look like?

- that's her. - of course! Naomi farkas.

She and her husband Work for kaos.

Her brother, arnold Borgia, is district manager.

Yes, I remember him. He Started to work for kaos

At the same time I started To work for control.

And now he's district manager?

Boy, they sure get Promoted faster over there.

You're missing the point. If Naomi farkas is a kaos agent

And she made the chocolate Mousse and we're sick,

It stands to reason She tried to poison us.

But, chief, if they wanted to kill us Why would they take the slow way?

Maybe they didn't Want to kill us.

Maybe they wanted us sick enough So that we'd have to leave the room

Because there's something Out there they want.

Of course. Our wedding gifts.

No, max, something More important.

My attache case!

99! 99!

Who is it?

Will you wait a minute?

There's someone At the front door.

99!

Max, the farkases, They're kaos agents.

They stole the Chief's attache case.

- I'm going after them, 99. - they got too much of a head start.

You'll never catch them.

Then there's only One thing to do.

What's that, chief?

This is a new device Invented by the lab...

The control remote control, developed For just such an emergency as this.

Now when I press this button

It will blow up that Attache case wherever it is.

What about the secret Papers? They'll be destroyed.

Well, better that than have Them fall into the hands of kaos.

Now when I press this button

In five seconds that attache Case will go up in smoke.

Five...

Max, is this your black Attache case in here?

- four... - I thought yours was brown.

- three... - it is brown.

- two... - the chief's is black.

One!

All: the chief's!

- 99, are you all right? - yes, I think so.

What did...?

They took max's Attache case by mistake.

Oh, and I blew up mine When I didn't even have to.

Oh.

This whole list Of kaos defectors

That kensington Worked on for so long.

- was that the kensington list? - yes. Why?

Well, I helped kensington Decode that list.

You did?

Yes. I didn't know What it was at the time,

But I dashed off a copy Of that list in pencil.

Max, that's wonderful.

I'll have to go to That meeting with you

Because I'm the only one Who can read my own notes.

Max, I don't know how to Thank you. I'm proud of you.

I am really proud of you.

Now come on, let's go. We'll be late for the meeting.

99, thank you very much For a delicious dinner.

Aww.

Wait a minute, chief. I Forgot to kiss 99 goodbye.

Well, hurry up, max.

Chief: max!

- oh, no. I did it again. - what happened?

It's just this Reflex thing I do.

Every time someone sneaks up Behind me, I just automatically...

Oh, chief!

Did it again.
