Since 1849, Kingsman Tailors have clothed the world’s most powerful individuals. In 1919, a great number of them had lost their heirs to World War I. That meant a lot of money going uninherited. And a lot of powerful men with the desire to preserve peace and protect life. Our founders realized that they could channel that wealth and influence for the greater good. And so began our adventure. An independent international intelligence agency operating at the highest level of discretion. Without the politics and bureaucracy that undermine the intelligence of government-run spy organisations. A suit is the modern gentleman’s armour. And the Kingsman agents are the new knights.

Not sure what the question here is. If you’re wondering what movie it’s from, it’s **The Umbrellas of Cherbourg**. If the question is what the relevance is, I’m playing off “meeting again some sunny day” by suggesting that they could use umbrellas if it’s raining.

“Misanthrope?” I don’t hate my fellow man, even when he’s tiresome and surly and tries to cheat at poker. I figure that’s just a human material, and him that finds in it cause for anger and dismay is just a fool for expecting better.
