Carmen

You're not very tall, are you?

Well, I, uh, I try to be.

Carmen

Not bad looking. Oh you probably know it.

Thank you.

Carmen

What's your name?

Reilly. Doghouse Reilly.

Carmen

That's a funny kind of name.

You think so.

Carmen

Uh, uh. What are you? A prizefighter?

No, I'm a shamus.

Carmen

What's a shamus?

It's a private detective.

Carmen

You're making fun of me.

Uh, uh.

Carmen
[she leans back and falls into his arms]

You're cute.

[to the butler, Norris]

You ought to wean her, she's old enough.

Carmen
[Marlowe slaps Carmen]

You're cute.

And you're higher than a kite. Come on, wake up.

Carmen

I know you. Doghouse Reilly. You're cute.

What do you know about this?

Carmen

What?

Mr. Geiger here on the floor.

Carmen

He's cute too.

[after grabbing and shaking her]

Look, you got a dead man lying at your feet. How did it happen?

Carmen

You talk a lot, Reilly.

Carmen

Can I have my picture now?

No.

Carmen

Can I have my gun back?

Later.

Carmen

You're cute. I like you.

What you see's nothing. I've got a Balinese dancing girl tattooed across my chest.

Carmen

What does the hat-check girl get for a tip?

I'm trying to think of something appropriate. How did you get in here?

Carmen

Bet you can't guess.

Oh, but I can. You came in through the keyhole like Peter Pan.

Carmen

Who's he?

Hmm. A guy I used to know around a pool room.

Carmen

You're cute.

I'm getting cuter every minute.
