Undercover Advice
“I can’t do it,” fretted McGee, pacing Abby’s lab.
“You can,” she insisted, but he continued to pace. “Tony, tell him!”
“Probie,” he said, “You can do this.”
“Just because you’re so good at lying-” McGee began, then stopped pacing. “Sorry, I didn’t mean…”
“I know,” said Tony. “You’re just nervous. And, yeah, I’m good at undercover work. But I’m not good at technobabble, and that’s what we need.”
“But how?” McGee pleaded.
“Play your character as close to yourself as you can. Don’t forget the difference, just act naturally.”
“Okay,” said McGee, more confidently. “I can do that.”
