Money to Burn - A Little Drabble Do ya! - june 24th

“Why did Waverly want to see you?” Napoleon asked, as Illya entered their shared office.

“Accounting have been telling tales on me,” the Russian replied.

“You!” exclaimed Solo, with incredulity. “What could you, Mr So-frugal-it’s-almost-painful, have done to incur the wrath of the accounts department?”

“I don’t see why they couldn’t have brought it up with me before going to Mr Waverly.”

“Well?” Napoleon prompted. “What was your terrible crime?”

“It would seem,” Illya explained. “That, even in the heat of battle, accounting would prefer it if I removed the money from the exploding money clip before I deployed it.”

I've wondered about that! Thanks for clearing it up.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

You're welcome:-) It's something that bugs me.

Guess I can't blame them on that one.

Thank you :-)

I came up with this during the afternoon. TCM are showing the MFU movies this week, and today was 'One of Our Spies is Missing' (aka-The Bridge of Lions Affair). IK did the money clip thing, and all I could think was 'why doesn't he take the cash out?2

I remember thinking the same thing myself...unless the money wasn't real and was part a catalyst to make it go boom...

[lindafishes8.livejournal.com]

I've seen both the guys do that in the show and wondered that exact same question!

I'm glad it's not just me :-)

Guess we're all thinking similar thoughts. The Drabble was short , but well told. I do like mrua's idea of the money being fake, but a catalyst.

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

That's probably true, but then my drabble wouldn't have work :-D

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

You're right about the money! I noticed it but never gave it another thought. Very good work there ;)

Thank you :-)
It's always bugged me, and I just happened to be watching it on tv while I was trying to think of a drabble idea.
