Quotes / Honey Trap

"Think of it as... fucking for your flag."

— Henry Fields, The Assignment (1997)

And I recall that fall
I was working for the government
And in a bathroom stall off the National Mall
How we kissed so sweetly
How could I refuse a favor or two
For a tryst in the greenery
I gave you documents and microfilm, too

— The Decemberists, "The Bagman's Gambit"

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Oh, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

— Johnny Rivers, "Secret Agent Man"

If you want to obtain timely, reliable intel, you know what does work? Drugs, alcohol, and prostitutes. We've had more actionable intel come out of Club Fusion and the Fusion City Hotel the past two months than has come from the detention program in the past 5 years.

—Belson, Fallout 4 Fusion City Rising mod

"Loose women loosen men's tongues."

— Patrick Hale, Wrong is Right

—Samson and Delilah

"There isn't a man in the world who would not share his secrets with some woman."

— Delilah, Samson and Delilah

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.

— The Underground Empire by James Mills
