Life Does Not Imitate Art - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Illya was reading the details of a TV show, Have Gun, Will Travel. The character's fee was $1,000.

"Hmmm, that sounds like what we do."  Beneath his breath but still within earshot of Napoleon's keen hearing.

"What's that?  Have you been sneaking into your neighbor's apartments to watch TV again?" 

"I never do that.  Well, maybe once, but they had asked me to keep an eye on their cat. You know, we could very well have the same business card."

"Yes we could, but he still makes more money than we do."

"The actor?"

"Palladin."

"Oh, well yes he does."

Remember it, and sneaking in to watch TV, Illya never Right?

I think tv might be up there with comic books, and we know he likes those ;)

I'm afraid I had to Google Have Gun Will Travel. I love the idea of Illya sneaking in to watch someone else's tv :-)

It's really from the way back machine, but I think it would have appealed to a spy. Yeah, sneaking into apartments for entertainment... :D

That's a blast from the past. Didn't watch it much though.

Whatever our MFU's were paid was not enough for all the trouble they run into. Good drabble! ;D

The old black and white tv shows... they're a little hazy for me, but I remember that slogan.

I used to LOVE that show! Great drabble!

I knew someone would remember it.

If he's planning on asking for a raise, I suspect he's aiming a bit high!

I don't know the show at all, but I've heard the slogan. Nice drabble - and I'm left with the image of Illya sneaking into the apartment and watching TV with the cat on his lap.

Thanks, the image you suggest makes perfect sense, and all in the name of being neighborly. The show was a clever melding of the western and detective genres.
