"Look at What They Make You Give"

   "Look at what they make you give" are a random assassin's dying words in The Bourne Identity, which I just watched in preparation for when I see The Bourne Legacy (the fourth movie in the trilogy- you heard me, fourth) at some future date. Full discretion: I fucking love the Bourne movies and Matt Damon used to be my boyfriend.
   The earlier quote perfectly encapsulates a question which has sprung to my mind while I now sit down to watch The Bourne Supremacy (numero dos). When do these super assassins have time to wash their hands? I know a lot of action films beg the question "but when do they have time to use the washroom?" I don't care about when Matt Damon poops. He is too beautiful to poop, case closed. But the hand washing is another story.
   They're always shooting and knifing and jumping through windows, but they never wash their hands. They take the time to clean a hotel room from top to bottom for fear of the bad guys picking up finger prints, but they never wash their hands. They sit down to a nondescript bagged breakfast, but they never wash their hands. Seriously boys, were you raised in a barn?!
