But He Gets the Job Done: Difference between revisions

* [[James Bond (Filmfilm)|James Bond]] film ''[[The World Is Not Enough (Film)|The World Is Not Enough]]'', while Bond is out doing his thing M claims that he is the best agent they have adding: "though I'd never tell him."

* Face's ex in ''[[The a A-Team (Filmfilm)|The a Team]]'' says the entire team is the best she's ever seen.

* ''[[Honor Harrington (Literature)|Honor Harrington]]'': This is the main reason the Republic of Haven's leadership merely debates whether or not they should fire (or fire ''at'') Special Agent Victor Cachat. His mentor Kevin Usher is just as bad.

* Cuddy has mentioned this at least once per season with regards to ''[[House (TV series)|House]]''.

* Heard begrudgingly from McCoy in ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series (TV)|Star Trek the Original Series]]'' at the end of "Operation: Annihilate!":

* ''[[NCIS (TV)|NCIS]]'', Gibbs (whose [[Dope Slap]] to compliment ratio is over nine thousand) to Tony's father: "Tony likes to hide behind the face of a clown, but he's the best young agent I've ever worked with."

* From ''[[Stargate SG -1]]'':

* In ''[[24 (TV)|Twenty Four]]'', George Mason says a variation of this about Jack Bauer. "What can I say? The guy's a little crazy, but he gets results."

* On ''[[The X-Files (TV)|The X-Files]]'', this is the idea that surrounds Mulder. He's mocked behind his back and sometimes to his face about his fascination with the paranormal, but his originally work for the FBI had nothing to do with that at all. His nickname "Spooky" is fitting for his work on the X-Files, but he actually got the nickname because he had amazing profiler skills--he was so good he was "Spooky". It's mentioned several times that he was the Violent Crimes Section's Golden Boy before the X-Files and that many were dissapointed when he left. At one point, a superior defends Mulder when an agent mocks him, saying that the agent could even learn from Mulder. Scully admits early on that even though his methods are "out there", he's a great agent. He's also seen helping out other FBI teams during the series; the cases always turn out to be X-Files, but they don't start out that way.
