Look. I love Amy Irving. Did I mention that? I do. And it's just a fucking SHAME that I can't, and won't, repeat this entire scene, word for word. I won't, because it's a fucking WASTE OF MY TIME.
Uh-oh. Emily gets all emotional about Willage's stupid-ass story, and suddenly starts to look very ill. Sloane rushes to her side to ask if she's okay. She is; she's just adjusting to her new medication. Before we can have some sort of Terms of Endearment moment, Syd's cell phone rings. Even though it's highly inappropriate of her to answer at this particular moment, she picks up because she knows it's Vaughn. She tells the table that it's Francie and that she has to take the call. She then exits rapidly as Amy Irving asks herself just what in the HELL her agent was thinking.
Syd heads down a hallway and tells Vaughn that she's in and she'll see him at the dead drop. She hangs up on him and plunks the phone down on a table near the safe. She goes to work on the combination with her bitchin' device. Back at the table, Sloane asks Willage what story he's currently working on. Willage, who wets his pants at the mere thought of the warehouse and the ass-kicking, responds that he's got a few irons in the fire. Shut up, Will. Oh, and SHUT UP. Sloane wants to know just what kind of "irons" Willage is talking about. Spy Daddy slugs down a healthy portion of red wine.
Back in Sloane's office, Sydney makes it into the safe (shocker) and removes the manuscript. At the same time, Emily notices that Spy Daddy's out of wine and asks if he wants more. Sloane partially stands, ready to retrieve a fresh bottle. Knowing full well that he can't let Sloane leave the room, Spy Daddy declares that he'll go get it himself. Willage shoves food in his face and tells Emily that the meal is fantastic. Shut up, Will. Oh, and SHUT UP. Syd's located Page 47; she whips it out, pulls up her dress, removes a duplicate of Page 47 from her garter, and pulls the ol' switcheroo. Millions of perfectly sane males suddenly notice their temperatures rising to excessive degrees as they watch Sydney wrap the original Page 47 around her right thigh and secure it with her garter.
She looks up and sees Spy Daddy standing in the doorway. He nods at her and leaves. Syd replaces the manuscript pages. Spy Daddy reenters the dining room with his selected bottle of wine. Sloane disses him and gets up to retrieve a better, more special, bottle of wine from his snooty wine cellar. Spy Daddy once again tries to prevent Sloane from leaving, but Sloane tells him to park it and shut the hell up.
