Quotes
-
Carmen Sternwood
You're not very tall are you?
-
Philip Marlowe
Well, I, uh, I try to be.
-
Eddie Mars
Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh?
-
Philip Marlowe
Yeah, wasn't it. By the way, how'd you happen to have one?
-
Eddie Mars
Is that any of your business?
-
Philip Marlowe
I could make it my business.
-
Eddie Mars
I could make your business mine.
-
Philip Marlowe
Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small.
-
General Sternwood
Do you like orchids?
-
Philip Marlowe
Not particularly.
-
General Sternwood
Ugh. Nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men, and their perfume has the rotten sweetness of corruption.
-
Philip Marlowe
Oh, Eddie, you don't have anybody watching me, do you? Tailing me in a gray Plymouth coupe, maybe?
-
Eddie Mars
No, why should I?
-
Philip Marlowe
Well, I can't imagine, unless you're worried about where I am all the time.
-
Eddie Mars
I don't like you that well.
-
Vivian
How did you find her?
-
Marlowe
I didn't find her.
-
Vivian
Well then how did you-...
-
Marlowe
I haven't been here, you haven't seen me, and she hasn't been out of the house all evening.
