Lt. Randall : [during an interrogation] How do you feel?
Philip Marlowe : Like a duck in a shooting gallery.
-
Lt. Randall : You're not a detective, you're a slot machine. You'd slit your own throat for 6 bits plus tax.

Lt. Randall : Let's get it on the record... from the beginning.
Philip Marlowe : With Malloy, then. Oh, it was about seven o'clock. Anyway it was dark.
Lt. Randall : What were you doing at the office that late?
Philip Marlowe : I'm a homing pigeon. I always come back to the stinking coop, no matter how late it is. I'd been out peeking under old Sunday sections for a barber named Dominick whose wife wanted him back - I forget why. Only reason I took the job was because my bank account was trying to crawl under a duck.
