[Elizabeth is folding laundry and finds Melissa’s business card among Peter’s clothes. She looks at it, then calls out.]
Elizabeth: Honey?
Peter: Yeah?
Elizabeth: What is this?
Peter: I was going to talk to you about that. That is part of the undercover job I was working. And part of the cover was that I had to talk to another woman.
[Elizabeth flips the card around so he can see the back, with Melissa’s phone number.]
Elizabeth: Must have been quite the conversationalist.
Peter: I had to flirt with her so Neal could get closer to the target.
Elizabeth: Isn’t it usually the other way around?
Peter: Ah… she chose me.
Elizabeth: You had to seduce another woman?
Peter: No. I had—I just had drinks with her. Nothing happened, El, I swear. [Elizabeth turns her face away and covers her mouth with the business card, struggling to contain her emotions.] Are you laughing? … You’re laughing.
Elizabeth: [laughing freely now] You had to flirt?! You hate flirting!
Peter: I know. And now I remember why.
Elizabeth: What did you say to her?
Peter: I said she looked thirsty. It worked.
Elizabeth: Oh, please tell me there’s surveillance video of this! I gotta see this!
