The Long Goodbye - A Casual Invitation to Drink
Roger Wade:
I tell you what we're gonna do, Marlboro. You're gonna take that goddamn J.C. Penney tie off and we're gonna have an old fashioned man to man drinking party.
Philip Marlowe:
Well, that's okay but I'm not taking off the tie.
Roger Wade:
What'll you have?
Philip Marlowe:
What are you drinking?
Roger Wade:
What I'm drinking is called Aquavit.
Philip Marlowe:
I'm drinking what you're drinking.
Roger Wade:
Well God bless you. I like to hear that. People these days go, "Oh, I want a little of this. Oh, and a little of that and a twist of lemon." Balls!

The Killing - The Value of Risk in Crime
Johnny Clay:
You know Fay, the biggest mistake I made before was shooting for peanuts. Five years have taught me one thing, if nothing else: Anytime you take a chance, you better be sure the rewards are worth the risk. Because they could put you away just as fast for a $10 heist as they can for a million dollar job.
