[Christina Delassalle]

Where to start:

Waldo Lydecker:
It's lavish, but I call it home.

I should be sincerely sorry to see my neighbor's children devoured by wolves.

Shelby Carpenter:
I can afford a blemish on my character, but not on my clothes.

Frank Chambers:
With my brains and your looks, we could go places.

Phillip Marlowe: (Dick Powell)
She was a charming middle-aged lady with a face like a bucket of mud. I gave her a drink. She was a gal who'd take a drink, if she had to knock you down to get the bottle.

I don't know which side anybody's on. I don't even know who's playing today.

Fred Foss:
It didn't work. It was a busto-crusto.

Walter Neff:
Do I laugh now, or wait 'til it gets funny?

I get the general idea. She was a tramp from a long line of tramps.

Who'd you think I was anyway? The guy that walks into a good looking dame's front parlour and says, "Good afternoon, I sell accident insurance on husbands... you got one that's been around too long? One you'd like to turn into a little hard cash?"

How could I have known that murder could sometimes smell like honeysuckle?


Me:
Well a person could go on all day with lines from Double Indemtiy couldn't they !

Bradford Galt:
I can be framed easier than ‘Whistler's Mother.

Quinlan:
I'm Hank Quinlan
Tanya:
I didn't recognize you. You should lay off those candy bars.
