My other favorite humor moment is Philip saying see, he told Elizabeth they should have put in a secret room and she says "You mean the wine cellar you wanted to put in below the laundry room?" and he says he did say it would have other uses. I love their domestic/spy conversations.
Me too :-) And that coffee scene you mentioned - I didn't really notice that at first (or second), and went back after your comment.
When he's kidnapped in Trust Me I don't think he sees himself in a good bargaining position, plus he knows that Elizabeth would be counting on him and he wouldn't want to put her in danger. Dying for his country was probably never a problem for him.
Good point. I guess in both cases, he's got his family as top priority, and he'd do whatever it takes (dying, defecting) to take care of them.
Do they fully drop Stan's learning Russian?
Not fully, but enough that it doesn't matter anymore. And Amador should have been quite fluent after a few years, but nothing.
Really I want a scene where he says something in Russian to Philip and Philip totally sincerely just says "What?"
That would be really cool. And it would have been good at the beginning, if Stan was trying to sound Philip out.
I don't actually think Philip is being dense understanding what happened, just shocked at taking in the emotional impact.
OK, I can accept that. But on the other hand, I'm thinking that if there was institutionalized rape there, it couldn't have gone unnoticed this way. Or could it?
