There was a scene I wanted to ask you about. Mild spoiler inside.

So the main characters are these two Soviet sleeper agents in 1981 suburbia.

A new family moves in next door. The agents take a plate of brownies over to welcome them to the neighborhood.

As they're shooting the shit, they ask the new neighbor what he does for a living. He immediately volunteers "Oh, I'm an FBI agent!"

"Really, wow? What kind?"

"Oh, counter-intelligence. Pretty intense stuff. And we've got a lot of drama going on right now!"

Both Mrs.V (DOJ employee) and I were pretty amused. Surely this is not how agents introduce themselves to relative strangers. Right?
