โ Tall, arenโt you? Handsome too, and I bet you know it. โย
โ Get on with you. You heard me. โย
โ You didnโt say anything. Youโre just a big tease. โย
โ Youโre cute. Iโm cute too. โย
โ Itโs too hot in here for a man with blood in his veins. โย
โ You may smoke, sir. I like the smell of tobacco. โย
โ A nice state of affairs when a man has to indulge his vices by proxy. โย
โ Tall, arenโt you? Handsome too, and I bet you know it. โย
โ I test very high on insubordination. โย
โ It was a ridiculous marriage of course, and it probably didnโt last a month, as a marriage. โย
โ Then she tried to sit in my lap. โย
โ Tall, arenโt you? Handsome too, and I bet you know it. โย
โ Do I have to be polite or can I just be natural? โ
โ Neither of them has any more moral sense than a cat. โย
โ Are you attempting to tell me my duties? โย
โ Youโre not much of a gusher are you? โย
โ I donโt see what there is to be cagey about, and I donโt like your manners. โย
โ I didnโt ask to see you. You sent for me.ย โย
โ I donโt mind you ritzing me or drinking your lunch out of a scotch bottle.ย โย
โ I donโt mind your showing me your legs. Theyโre very swell legs and itโs a pleasure to make their acquaintance. โย
โ I donโt mind if you donโt like my manners. Theyโre pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter evenings. โย
โ But donโt waste your time trying to cross-examine me. โย
โ People donโt talk like that to me. โย
โ My God, you are a big dark handsome brute! โย
โ I ought to throw a Buick at you. โย
โ I loathe masterful men, I simply loathe them. โย
โ Just what is it youโre afraid of? โย
โ Get out! Damn you, get out! โย
โ I see. You interest me. Rather vaguely.ย โย
โ As a matter of fact Iโm not here. Youโre just seeing things. โย
โ Tut tut. Come into my boudoir. โย
โ So you like roulette. You would. โย
โ I like you. You believe in miracles. โย
โ She has a beautiful little body, hasnโt she? You ought to see mine. โย
โ Youโre as cold-blooded a beast as I ever met. โย
โ You know such lovely people. โย
โ Such a lot of guns around town and so few brains. โย
โ I donโt know hellโs first whisper about you. โย
โ You might be a life taker for all I know. โย
โ Iโve been shaking two nickels together for a month, trying to get them to mate. โย
โ You think youโre so smart and youโre so goddamned dumb. โย
โ Iโm too tired to talk, too tired to eat, too tired to think. โย
โ Remember me? I met you about a hundred years ago โ or was it yesterday? โย
โ You hinted you had something for me. What is it? โย
โ You and I ought to get along. โย
โ I wish to Christ I didnโt know half the stuff thatโs brought to me.ย โย
โ Knowing other peopleโs business is the worst investment a man can make. โย
โ Are you my bodyguard now? โย
โ You should see him sober. I should see him sober. Somebody should see him sober. ย I mean, just for the record. โย
โ Iโve even thought of marrying him. โย
โ I love a nice walk in the fog. You meet such interesting people. โย
โ I could get as drunk as two sailors and love it. โย
โ My heartโs in my mouth doing this. โย
โ You have wicked eyes. โย
โ He hasnโt many illusions, but I suppose he still has his pride.ย โย
โ Weโre his blood. Thatโs the hell of it. โย
โ I donโt want him to die despising his own blood. โย
โ It was always wild blood, but it wasnโt always rotten blood.ย โย
โ So you shoot people. Youโre a killer. โย
โ Thanks, lady. Youโre no English muffin yourself. โย
โ Letโs get out of this rotten little town. โย
โ Hold me close, you beast. โย
โ Kissing is nice, but your father didnโt hire me to sleep with you. โย
โ You son of a bitch. โย
โ Donโt think Iโm an icicle. Iโm not blind or without senses. I have warm blood. โย
โ Youโre easy to take โ too damned easy. โย
โ If you say that again, Iโll scream. โย
โ Men have been shot for little things like that. โย
โ Men have been shot for practically nothing. โย
โ Get it through your lovely head. I work at it. I donโt play at it. โย
โ I think the whole thing was just some kind of an act. If I wanted to flatter myself, Iโd say it was at least partly for my benefit. โย
โ Do I have to tell you I loathe your guts, Mister Detective? โย
โ You have a lovely way with women. โย
โ I liked kissing you. โย
โ You kept your head beautifully. Thatโs so flattering. โย
โ Should I congratulate you, or my father? โย
โ Take me away from here, if you will be so kind. Iโm quite sure Iโd like to go home. โย
โ You wonโt be a sister to me? โย
โ If I had a razor, Iโd cut your throat โ just to see what ran out of it. โย
โ Cute, arenโt I? โย
โ I bet you canโt even guess how I got in.ย โย
โ You came through the keyhole, just like Peter Pan. โย
โ Youโre cute, arenโt you? โย
โ Iโm all undressed. โย
โ By God, it was right at the back of my mind. I was groping for it. I almost had it, when you spoke. โ
โ I always wear my rubbers in bed myself, in case I wake up with a bad conscience and have to sneak away from it. โย
โ Thatโs nice, but Iโve already seen it all. Remember? Iโm the guy that keeps finding you without any clothes on. โย
โ Listen, you donโt really care anything about me. Youโre just showing me how naughty you can be. โ
โ Youโve been following me around for a couple of days. Like a fellow trying to pick up a girl and lacking the last inch of nerve.ย โย
โ Iโm psychic. Shake your business up and pour it. I havenโt got all day. โย
โ Sheโs too big for you. Sheโll roll on you and smother you. โ
โ I wouldnโt even argue with you. I wouldnโt waste the oxygen. โย
โ You didnโt ever get socked in the kisser, did you? โย
โ Did you know that worms are of both sexes and any worm can love any other worm? โย
โ Then Iโm afraid youโre in a bad spot. And I hate killing. โย
โ I was afraid youโd come back. โย
โ We had a date. I told you it was all arranged. โย
โ This is the last time. The next fast one you pull Iโll throw you to the lions, no matter whose heart it breaks. โย
โ Stand there, you son of a bitch. โย
โ So youโre just a brute after all. An utter callous brute.ย โย
โ You tire me. God, how you tire me! โย
โ Can I go on being a son of a bitch, or do I have to become a gentleman like that lush passed out in his car the other night? โย
