The kitchen scene is giving me flashbacks to La Femme Nikita, except for the action and good acting part. Sigh. A.G. bends the bars on a window and heads outside, onto a ledge.
Now, he has to scale a wall, using only his hands to dig into the concrete and pull himself up. Don't get your tux all dirty! Too late. "What's that they say? Necessity's a motha." They do NOT say that.
So, A.G. scales the wall, and then he lands in the room with the safe, which is cleverly hidden behind a painting of George Washington. "Could be worse; could have been Elvis." Or a VELVET Elvis, that would have been GREAT. A.G. takes his teeny tiny flashlight and the combination (very convenient) and goes to work. Rats! The combination doesn't work! Can't he just rip the door off? No, that would trigger the alarm. So, following the Doc's orders, A.G. pulls the SAFE out of the wall, and punches a hole in the back to get the disk. WHATEVER. Then, as A.G. looks out of the window in which he entered, he sees a goon looking at him. "Oh no," he says, "I was hoping not to dirty this tux."
The goon enters the room. He sees no one and leaves. Then, from behind the painting of George Washington, out pops A.G.! He had wedged himself into the hole where the safe usually is. What an unobservant goon, no? A.G. high-tails it down the stairs to rendezvous with the General. But wait! There's Lisa and Roger in the ballroom! They still haven't made an impression on the Senator yet. They chase after him, and does this sound like an episode of Scooby Doo to you, too? Just checking. A.G. gets the General's attention and offers up the disk. "Not here...not now! I can't afford to have anyone see you make the exchange. Wait one song and meet me downstairs." NOW A.G. gets a bad feeling about all this. A.G stands, there as "It Had To Be You" starts up AGAIN, and the blonde lady, the Senator, and Lisa all walk right by him in the same instant. Lisa does a double take and gives A.G. a piece of her mind. A.G. asks her to dance and she runs away. Then, as Roger tries desperately to impress the Senator, goons arrive and whisper in the Senator's ear. Lisa comes up and tells Roger she wants to leave -- now. The goons whisper and the Senator lets words escape from his lips at intervals, like "fifth floor!", and "my study," and finally, "the disk! Will you excuse me!" He splits.
