Librarian You know, you don't look like a man who'd be interested in first editions.
Marlowe I collect blondes and bottles too.
Marlowe Well, thanks.
Clerk If you ever want to buy a book...?
Marlowe Ben-Hur, 1860?
Clerk With duplications? So long.
Marlowe You want to tell me now...what it is you're trying to find out. You know it's a funny thing. You're trying to find out what your father hired me to find out, and I'm trying to find out why you want to find out.
Vivian You could go on forever, couldn't you? Anyway, it'll give us something to talk about next time we meet.
