"James Bond?" he asked. "That bloke from the film? He's more like Spy than me."
And he meant that on several levels: for one, it was more of Spy's job to steal the intelligence than it was his -- he wouldn't be caught dead trying to run into an enclosed space for a briefcase. That wasn't what he specialized in.
Secondly -- and not that he'd seen the movie, of course, or would admit to having seen it -- both Bond and Spy had gadgets they relied on. Sniping was about skill, not about what toys one had to make up for talent.
And third, well... both Spy and Bond had a way with women. Sniper certainly didn't, if the way he shifted nervously in his seat whenever he looked across the table at his date was any indication. She was younger than him, and probably should be looking for someone more her age, but he couldn't stop looking at her, stealing glances to take in her features.
