[Fat Bastard rolls over to get more food at the side of his bed. Felicity takes a homing device out of her purse and notices an opening in his ass] [voice-over, via Felicity's memory]

Remember, by any means necessary.

Hello, Basil.

Basil

Hello, Austin. How was your honeymoon?

It turns out that Vanessa was a fembot.

Basil

Yes. We knew all along, sadly. [then, without pausing for a moment] Anyway, I have a new assignment for you.

[about to travel back to 1969]

Wait a tick. Basil, if I travel back to 1969, and I was frozen in 1967, presumably, I could go visit my frozen self. But, if I'm still frozen in 1967, how could I have been unthawed in the 90's and traveled back to... [cross-eyed] Oh, no. I've gone cross-eyed.

Basil

I suggest you don't worry about this sort of thing, and just enjoy yourself. [to the home audience] That goes for you all, too.

[to the home audience]

Yes.

Basil
[in the video call]

Hello, Agent Shagwell. Where's Austin?

I must have said something wrong, so he just left all of a sudden.

Basil

Listen, Felicity, I don't want you getting too close to Austin. It's not meant to be.

I don't get too close to anybody, Basil. My interest in this case is purely professional.

Basil

Good. Then you won't mind tracking down Fat Bastard tonight.

No problem.

Basil

We need you to plant this homing device on him by any means necessary.

No problem.

Basil

Keep up the good work. Remember, by any means necessary.
