• 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.

• 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.

• Eddie Mars : Your story didn't sound quite right.

  Philip Marlowe : Oh, that's too bad. You got a better one?

  Eddie Mars : Maybe I can find one.

• Philip Marlowe : [speaking into the phone]  Hello, let me talk to Mr. Mars.

  Eddie Mars : This is Mars.

  Philip Marlowe : Oh, hello, Eddie. This is Marlowe.

  Eddie Mars : Marlowe?

  Philip Marlowe : Yeah, Marlowe. Or what's left of him.
