Loved this. I was smiling the whole way through!
"Apparently, the patients from Providence Park were enjoying a day outing." - great line!

I've saved this to read when I have more time. Looks like it's going to be really enjoyable :)

I love screwball comedies! I wish they made movies like that these days.

This was a fun story. It's interesting that Ianto]s Cary Grant, and Jack is Katherine Hepburn.

I was just thinking that To Catch a Thief could make a good TW story; Ianto would make a good Grace Kelly.

Between the two of them, Hepburn and Grant made some great ones. I had originally planned to also do Desk Set, a Hepburn/Tracy comedy. In that one, Ianto would have been Kate. He's versatile like that. :D

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

This was so much fun to read. First of all, I love the movie, and I thought Jack and Ianto fell into the roles perfectly. There were so many things that I liked -- Ianto in the UNIT uniform, George digging up sex toys, and the Copacabana song! Also:

In reality, encountering Jack Harkness had been the equivalent of throwing a black cat through a mirror while dancing under a ladder.

Yes. <3

And on a sad note, following Jack on one of his half-thought-out adventures is what ultimately gets Ianto killed.

Fortunately, nothing like that ever happens in my fic.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

This was great, love this movie.

Loved Ianto trying to sing Copacabana.

The song was Faith's stroke of genius. Now I just wish I could get it out of my head. Little embarrassing to get caught humming this at work.

So glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
