Quotes 

• Philip Marlow : Forget the cops. If they'd got enough they'd've nabbed you already: they're not broody hens, they don't sit on their eggs. You know what they do?

  Mark Binney : What?

  Philip Marlow : They break the shells straightaway and *fry* what's inside.

• Mark Binney : Money's not particularly one of my problems and I'll pay you well.

  Philip Marlow : Oh, you don't know how much I want yet. And I'm not as cheap as I look.

• Mark Binney : I'm not paying you to make me feel small, am I?

  Philip Marlow : Oh, you don't have to do that. That's thrown in without charge.

• Mark Binney : You're cheap, Marlow.

  Philip Marlow : Ten cents a dance, fella.

• Mark Binney : Mr Marlow, you can't deny I'm paying you good money...

  Philip Marlow : Money, you're paying me money. Why put "good" in front of it? Who knows its virtue? I don't know where it's been. Do you?
