From Ian Fleming's "Quantum of Solace"

(Of Bond and the Governor of Nassau.)

James Bond said “I’ve always thought that if I ever married I would marry an air hostess.” . .

“Indeed,” said the Governor in the polite, controlled voice that Bond prayed might relax and become human. “Why?”

“Oh, I don't know. It would be fine to have a pretty girl always tucking you up and bringing you drinks and hot meals and asking if you had everything you wanted. And they’re always smiling and wanting to please. If I don't find an air-hostess, there’ll be nothing for it but to marry a Japanese. They seem to have the right ideas, too.” Bond had no intention of marrying anyone. If he did, it would certainly not be an insipid slave. He only hoped to amuse or outrage the Governor into a discussion of some human topic.
