Anna Lee: Elisabeth

In Like Flint

Elisabeth

Flint: Eh, how much time do we have?
Lisa: We have less than an hour.
[Flint whistles, then walks over to the President]
Flint: Sir, a call from you. There's an airbase close by.
President Trent: [dejected since he is currently being impersonated by an double] Who'd believe me?
[Flint sighs, then turns to girls when he remembers there is a lot of recreational water craft - some human powered - that could be used to invade the other island launch site]
Flint: Well I saw a lot of floating stuff up there and your staff I understand is quite athletic.
Elisabeth: I don't know what you mean.
Lisa: I do. Look Miss Elisabeth our way just didn't work.
[Lisa turns to Flint]
Lisa: I'll get the rest of the girls and I'll meet you at the beach.
Elisabeth: What will you do when you get there?
Lisa: Operation Smooch.
Elisabeth: Operation Smooch?
Flint: Operation? Smooch?
Lisa: Smooch.
[Flint chuckles]

[Flint thinks he has found a flaw in the women's plan to take over the world]
Flint: But. What about the millions of the women throughout the world who may not see your little plan just the way you do?
Elisabeth: Did you say millions?
Flint: Millions yes.
Elisabeth: [to Lisa] My dear, show Mr. Flint how the hair dryer works. Go ahead Mr. Flint, I think you will be quite interested.
Flint: Hair dryer?
[Flint watches as Lisa removes hair dyer side panel revealing a small running reel-to-reel tape deck]
Flint: I suppose when the hair is wet the current is conducted and the programming is received.
[Flint turns off the tape player]
Flint: Brain and hair washing at the same time.
Lisa: Exactly.
Flint: [sighing] You really think you can get away with *this*?
Elisabeth: Get away with it? Oh Mr. Flint, think a minute. Think. Now then, hair dryers like these have been in use for some time. Correct?
Flint: Yes, correct.
Elisabeth: Very well, for many years now every time a woman went into a beauty shop she came out a *little* bit more dissatisfied with a man's world. We've been busy Mr. Flint. I think you'll find, the contented housewife, is a thing of the past.
Flint: Ladies. *Forget it*.
[the women repeat Flint's last two words in a shocked tone]

President Trent: Well, ladies. It was touch and go but I hope you learned your lesson. The world is better off in our hands.
Elisabeth: You're absolutely right, sir.

[Flint is introduced to the four top women behind everything that has been happening]
Flint: But I know all of you ladies.
Flint: [pointing to them in turn] Fashions. Cosmetics. Publications. Communications. You're all very famous ladies. What you don't manage, you control. What you don't control, you influence. What you don't influence, you probably one day will inherit.
Elisabeth: That's very well put Mr. Flint. Don't you agree ladies?
