This test has Angelina Jolie, who talks to the female spies. Although I don't remember them being addressed by name in the movie, they have character names on the IMDB page. There are a few conversations between some of the women, the one I included below, along with one where a girl walking by asks what's going on, but she is not named.

I was really happy when I found this quote, until I realized it was about a man (from IMDB):

Jasmine: What? Your husband is the shooter? That's impossible.
Jane Smith: Really?

Don disagreed with the rating and said:
There is a spy/assassination agency comprised entirely of females. They plan missions to assassinate targets and seem to be all business in several portions of the movie (early discussing an assassination target, later discussing abducting that same target to use as leverage, then telling Jane goodbye since that's as much as they can help her). Jasmine (a supporting character, the coworker Jane speaks with most) is named early.
