“Stuff my orders! I only kill professionals. That girl didn’t know one end of her rifle from the other. Go ahead. Tell M what you want. If he fires me, I’ll thank him for it. Whoever she was, it must have scared the living daylights out of her.”
-James Bond (Timothy Dalton), The Living Daylights (1987)
