"This past spring was the first that I felt tired and realized I was growing old. Maybe it was the rotten weather we'd had in L.A. Maybe the rotten cases I'd had.

~Philip Marlowe (Robert Mitchum), Farewell, My Lovely (1975)

"There is an alternative. You can throw your phone away and trade that Mercedes in for a bicycle or a horse and start hunting for your own food and living in a tent, but you'll be the only one and it won't make a damn bit of difference. Plus I hear the moral high ground gets really windy at night..."
Cobby: [Marc Lawrwnce] "How can things go so wrong? How is it possible? One man killed, two others plugged. I'm out 30 grand. We got a load of rocks we can't even peddle."
Dix: [Sterling Hayden] "Why don't you quit crying and get me some bourbon."
From Astrid: Murder in Paris Astrid (autistic criminal records librarian) "The memory isn't infinite. It mustn't be filled with useless things - or there won't be room for the important things."
Philip Marlowe: "Nobody cares but me." Terry Lennox: "Well that's you, Marlowe. You'll never learn, you're a born loser." Philip Marlowe: "Yeah, I even lost my cat."
