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