A scene from The Big Sleep 1946
Mars

Got any good ideas, soldier?

Marlowe

One or two. Somebody gunned Geiger, or somebody got gunned by Geiger who ran away, or he had meat for dinner and likes to do his butchering in the parlor. No, I don't like it either. Maybe you'd better call your friends downtown.

Mars

I don't get it. I don't get your game here.

Marlowe

Don't you, Mr. Mars?

Mars

I wondered why you didn't ask me who I was. You seem to be telling me Geiger was in a racket of some kind. What racket?

Marlowe

I wouldn't know. I'm not his landlord. But I'll tell you something you missed. Somebody cleaned out the back of Geiger's store today.

Mars

You know, you talk too much.
