->''I've seen a lot of incidents, and heard of a lot of incidents with girls--girls probably comprise about 60 percent of the world's top assassins. That's the truth. Women are excellent. Because nobody suspects women. A woman can get closer to a man than a man can get to a man. They can go to parties unnoticed, they can go anyplace unnoticed. And if they're built like most of them are built, it's a one-way ticket. Where's a man most vulnerable? When you get him in bed. Get him drunk, make love to him, find out information. If that's part of it. Or if it's killing him, you can take him to a remote spot and he's not going to be suspicious at all. Because he'll take ''you'' there.''
