Found on TV Tropes, from something called Star Trek: New Frontier:

So let us be clear with one another, Admiral. I have one life, not nine.

What if there’s a Spy Wars villain who’s a thinly veiled Twilight stand-in? Imagine Anya’s internal conflict as she debates whether Bondman could win a fight with her dad.
