November 11, 2018As ever more facts emerge about the Jamal Khashoggi assassination, it seems clear that only one man can possibly be behind it. A sneak preview of the trailer for JOHNNY ENGLISH 4...

MBS: Agent English, please report on the mission.
RA: Yes your highness. I think it went rather well. If I say so myself.
MBS: Rather well?!!
RA: Rather well, your highness. We cut him up into tiny, tiny pieces with that extremely handy bone saw. As you ordered, your highness.
MBS: And then?!
RA: And then we fed him to the swans. It was very discreet, your highness. No one will ever suspect a thing.
MBS: But people have started to talk.
RA: Oh no, your highness. No danger of that. They were mute swans.
MBS: Idiot! What happened to the body double?! You were supposed to make it look like he had left the embassy!
RA: Yes, your highness. We did that. Exactly as you ordered.
MBS: But what about the shoes?
RA: The shoes?
MBS: Yes, the shoes! Why was the double wearing size 89 shoes?
RA: That was in my orders, your highness.
MBS: Cretin! Are you telling me that I ordered you to put size 89 shoes on the double? He always wore the same brand that I did, handmade by...
RA: Ah, I'm very sorry, your highness. I think there may have been a miscommunication.
MBS: Miscommunication?
RA: Yes your highness. I did think it somewhat odd when Agent Fung said he should wear the shoes of the clown prince. But orders are orders.
MBS: Moron! Dimwit! What are we going to do now?
RA: In fact, your highness, I have an idea...

It's a really interesting book. Especially if you've seen the movies.
Even if you haven't seen the movies, it's a good book because it's funny. But, it doesn't really drag you into the story.

3.agent, action, amusing, interesting,England, crown, King,
4.a:Johnny English who is main character, his job was security. And he often made mistake. But No.1 agent in England made mistakes and he died, and English had to finish Agent one's work. It was that he have to stop Savage will become king of England. And he tried to finish it with Bough...
b: The scene I like is English and Bough enters Savage's office and They try to have evidence of crimes that Savage did. This scene is climax and interesting, so I was thrilled.
5.It is comedy and action, so I enjoyed reading this book. I thought English was decrepit at first because he often made mistake, but he managed to finish his mission, finally, I think he is cool.

4. Can you allow your partner to make many mistakes?
- No, because I aim at the perfection every time. I can allow he or she to make 2~5 mistakes in a day, but I think my partner have to learn something from mistakes.
5. I like Roman Atkinson because I read "Mr.Bean" at the same time. Johnny was not so good agent but he made efforts to find the people who commit a crime. I thought I want to do my best all the time when I finished reading this book.
