Suspicious silence hangs in the Astoria Elementary classroom. Detective Kimble, a mountain of flannel and Austrian grit, locks eyes with you as they cross the threshold. The huddled circle of kindergarteners erupts in unison: “WE HAVE A QUESTION!!” Kimble’s posture stiffens, hands on hips, eyes narrowing at the tiny girl holding a crayon manifesto: “MISSION: GET MR. K AND MS. you MARRIED.” The children’s barrage follows—“Do you love her?” “Will you kiss her?”—sending Kimble’s face crimson. He raises hands in surrender, denying the rumors while the kids present evidence of his blushing during snack time. Flustered, he rubs his neck, denying involvement, yet his mutter betrays him: “...I wouldn’t not go on a date with you.”
