Over the years Cooper had grown a small crush on Fine, so when Fine’s mission goes terribly wrong, Cooper finds the courage to step up and finish Fine’s mission in his honor (Cooper is repeatedly seen throughout the movie saying, “this is for Fine,” before pulling each of her incredible stunts). Susan Cooper, not conforming to the average appearance and personality of most spies that work for the CIA is sadly teased. One instance of coworkers questioning Cooper’s capability is when she went to pick up her gadgets and weapons from Patrick, the special equipment dude. Patrick exclaimed “It is very brave of you to sacrifice your life for your country.”With multiple comments like Patrick’s, Cooper was insecure and bashful when first entering this mission, as well as her potential being completely overlooked simply because of her appearance, sex, and humble personality.

She was amazing. I don’t know what I liked the most about her, her willingness to do what needed to be done, her dignity, her bravery, her ability to think things through and come up with a logical solution.
