Or at least, that's what the red mafia is willing to pay for my head. Not really the same thing, is it? Chapter 4 Tara: [narrating] There's a trick, they teach it to you at the School. When someone pulls a gun on you, they say…charge at him like a bloody lunatic…It's the last thing they expect and most of them can't hit water from a submarine anyway…and repeat to yourself over and over that you're doing this for Queen and Country. Operation: Morningstar Chapter 1 Tara: What are you writing? Psychologist: Just my notes. They're confidential, just between you and me. Tara: Then I can read them? Psychologist: Certainly. Have I got it right so far? [Notes read "Reticent. Suspicious."] Chapter 2 Tara: …Bloody talking about me like I can't hear them! I'm a spy for God's sake!

Operation: Crystal Ball Chapter 1 Tara: Because sweat, mud and shite make a girl glow. Ed: Works for me.

I'm bloody Carl Lewis. Operation: Blackwall Chapter 1 Tara: An affair, by definition, is conducted with a degree of discretion, if not secrecy. Chapter 2 Lisa: We ran "Andre" here through the visual database, looking to match his face with any on file. Tom: Don't tell me it actually worked? Lisa: Heavens no. It never does.
