In Ian Fleming's James Bond novels and the derived films, the 00 Section of MI6 are considered the secret service's elite. A 00 (typically read "Double O") agent holds a licence to kill in the field, at his or her discretion, to complete the mission. Goldfinger establishes that the section usually has only three agents at a time; the films, beginning with Thunderball, establish the number of 00 agents as fewer than 12.
Although pronounced "Double-O", the O refers to zeros. In the British and Commonwealth armed forces, soldiers and officers are assigned identity numbers; the United States military does likewise. During Ian Fleming's work in Vichy France, an agent's anonymity was imperative, and, when the agent was military, it was convenient to use the last three digits of the agent's number as identification.
In World War II, Britain's Special Operations Executive agents did not have identifiers assigned to them such as the 00 or related 'systems' of nomenclature. Specific agents would be known to high command by their own names, and when deniability was at stake, their service numbers in long form, or else by invented codenames.
An Agent is one who acts for, or in the place of, another, by authority from him; one entrusted with the business of another.
Endless love
I am here with you
You never knew that I felt for you
Endless love
And I'll always be with you
Endless love
I can see your smile
You never knew
But I ran thousand miles to find you
Now I'm happy to join our view
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
My endless love
I trust in you
You never knew but I felt secure
'cause of you everything will be allright
My endless love
You were meant for me
Tell everybody that it's you and me
And I wish this will last for eternity
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
And when the wind blows harder
I'll stand by you
I'll always do
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
And when the wind blows harder
Oh I will stand by you
We don't hold a licence for love
Our licence to love is our truth and our hearts
