“Trust is a must. That’s what 23 says.”
This is a quote from the movie Get Smart that has stuck with me for some reason ever since I first saw the movie 10 years ago. Steve Carell is fanaticizing to Anne Hathaway about his respect for Agent 23 in the U.S. spy agency called Control. He is merely quoting an agent he idolizes and is trying to align his work with after recently being promoted to the level of agent.
It’s a non-memorable quote buried in the middle of an average comedy and yet, I somehow always circle back to it.
