Quotes from
Philip Marlowe:
"'Okay Marlowe,' I said to myself. 'You're a tough guy. You've been sapped twice, choked, beaten silly with a gun, shot in the arm until you're crazy as a couple of waltzing mice. Now let's see you do something really tough - like putting your pants on.'"
Philip Marlowe: [about his gun] That's just part of my clothes. I hardly ever shoot anybody with it.
Philip Marlowe: He died in 1940, in the middle of a glass of beer. His wife Jessie finished it for him.
