Marlowe: Would you happen to have a Ben-Hur 1860, Third Edition with a duplicated line on page one-sixteen? Or a Chevalier Audubon 1840?

Clerk: Oh, I see. You begin to interest me – vaguely.

Marlowe: I’m a private dick on a case. Perhaps I’m asking too much, although it doesn’t seem too much to me somehow.

Marlowe: You’d make a good cop. [A heavy rain begins to fall, he pulls out a bottle of rye] I’d rather get wet in here.

Clerk: [pulling the shade, letting her hair down, and removing her glasses] It looks like we’re closed for the rest of the afternoon.
