You're not very tall, are you?

How do you like your brandy?

You may take off your coat and sit.

It's too hot in here for anyone who has any blood in their veins.

You can smoke here, just don't do it in front of my face.

You're looking at a very dull survival of a very dull life.

I can still speak English when my business demands it.

You didn't like working for the district attorney, eh?

What do you know about my family, [name]?

What'd you want to see me about?

I'm being blackmailed again.

[Name] has left me, about a month ago without a word.

We used to swap shots between drinks or drinks between shots.

They're alike only in having the same corrupt blood.

They have all the usual vices, besides those they've invented for themselves.

Do you want to know anything or just get rid of [him/her/them]?

I don't need any money now, but when I do, just send me the money.

Are you trying to tell me my duties?

You're a private detective? I didn't know they existed, except in books.

God, you're a mess, aren't you?

I would've thought a case like that took a little effort.

Is there any "how to be a Detective in 10 Easy Lessons, " school text-book?

I see. There is no professional secrets?

You don't have to play poker with me, [name].

I don't mind if you don't like my manners. I don't like 'em myself.

Don't waste your time trying to cross-examine me!

Do you always think you can handle people like trained seals?

I'm sure I don't care what you say, [name].

Would you do me a very small favor?

Yeah, I'm a private dick on a case.

Perhaps I'm asking too much, although it doesn't seem too much to me somehow.

Look, you got a dead man lying right at your feet.

Lie down there and be quiet.

That's a little special service I always provide all my clients. Including being insolent.

You'd do anything for [him/her/them], wouldn't you?

I don't slap so good around this time of the evening.

Those are harsh words to throw at me, especially when I am walking out of your bedroom.

Don't you ever go to bed? What you been doing?

What would anybody be doing down there?

The wound had already bled under the skin while they were still alive.

You better tell me what you're working on, [name]!

This doesn't look like the way you'd handle it.

Give me another day, [name]. I may have something for you.

I was beginning to think perhaps you worked in bed like Marcel Proust.

There isn't much money in this business, if i'm being honest.

Perhaps it wouldn't have been such a bad idea.

A woman telephoned me shortly after this thing was delivered.

Do you know where this picture was taken?

You were afraid that they might turn up something, which I couldn't sit on just yet.

I hope the police never traces that call.

I'm trying to find out why do you want to find out things I have been working on.

Anyway, it'll give us something to talk about next time we meet.

Do you remember me now? Hmm?

How much do you remember about last night?

As a matter of fact, I wouldn't say anything about anything.

Your story didn't sound quite right.

Blood. Quite a lot of blood.

I think we'll let the police in on this.

I could make it my business. I could make your business mine.

I wondered why you didn't ask me who I was.

You know, you talk too much.

I might even make it worth your while to talk to me.

Why don't you call the cops like you said you would?

I think you better get out of here.

Take it away and play on it somewhere else.

What did you come up here for?

I don't know how you got here, but I don't want you. Will you get out?

Can't you talk without pointing that gun?

Who are you? What do you get out of this?

Wait a minute, what do you mean, a couple of murders?

Well, then, nothing happened, so I got tired of waiting and went home.

Tell me, what do you usually do when you're not working?

I don't wanna hurt you. I'm tryin' to help you.

We could have had a lot of fun, if you weren't a detective.

You know, there's one thing that puzzles me. You don't seem in much of a hurry to find [name].

I can't imagine, unless you're worried about where I am all the time.

You weren't worried about me, were you? Afraid I'd get hurt?

You've already been paid, haven't you?

Kissing you is all right. It's nice. I'd like to do more of it.

If you say that again, I'll keep on saying it until I find out.

I'm trying to think of something appropriate.

You know, I think you're telling the truth, for a change.

Mm-mm. I can't afford to be seen with you.

I wanted to tell you, you can stop worrying and call off your bloodhounds.

You could've yelled for help!

Don't you even want to know who I am?

Do you want to know what I've got, or don't you?

You can get yourself hurt, kicking on doors.

Light me a cigarette, will you?

Will you get out of this and stay out if I let you go?

Get that knife and cut these ropes!

I don't suppose there's a gun around here?

I didn't have a chance to thank you for what you did back there.

I guess.. I'm in love with you.

You're the one who's shaking now.

What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a gun before?

What do you want me to do, count three like they do in the movies?
