When a CIA dude played by (I think) Walter Mathau explains some things to Audrey Hepburn, she asks questions with the word "spy" in them; he corrects her with the word "agent."
Spy.
Agent.
Cool exchange:
Audrey Hepburn (to Cary Grant): "You know what's wrong with you?"
Cary Grant: "No. What?"
Audrey Hepburn: "Nothing."
So many of the best movies have Cary Grant in them:
"Arsenic And Old Lace"
"Bringing Up Baby"
"His Girl Friday"
"Notorious"
"Indiscreet"
"To Catch A Thief"
"Charade"
Something one keeps noticing in "Charade" -- both Hepburn and Grant have accents -- and they are very individual accents. Audrey H. was from (I think) Belgium (a unique accent) and Cary Grant's accent was all his own; read somewhere that he developed it on purpose, to replace his native Cockney accent, indicative of being in one of the lower ("low-ah") classes, in England.
That's called inventing oneself.
Kind of like the rappers of today, who give themselves names that are spelled creatively.
