Quote #9: The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize. - Steel Magnolias (1989)
"The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize," Leatherneck announced. He turned and reached for a zip-lock bag filled with miscellaneous items. "Take this for example. To any average American, it's their daily essentials. We've got sunglasses, a wallet, exactly one dollar and eighty-two cents in pocket change, a few credit cards and a pack of chewing gum."
He handed the bag to the first freshman agent to his right who immediately opened the bag and began to inspect the items. Leatherneck smiled, "Don't worry, it's all there. Every one of the bags on the shelf is filled with exactly the same thing. Guys bags on this side, women's purses on that side." Leatherneck pointed to a section on the shelf filled with different purses in various sizes and shapes.
"Sir, what about disguises?" a young female agent called out from the back of the small group.
Leatherneck turned and picked a backpack off a hook on the wall. "Inside here we have a variety of items you could use for everyday disguises," he explained. He pulled out a baseball cap, followed by a scarf, another darker pair of sunglasses, a short curly dark-haired wig in a net bag along with a longer, blonde wig. Last, but not least, he dropped a make-up kit on the counter. "See, it doesn't take much but one or two of these babies can be used to distract anyone following you. Pair several together and you could easily walk right by your target without them ever realizing who you are," he smiled. He looked around at the awed faces before him and asked, "Any more questions?"
