Eddie Mars: Convenient, the door being open when you didn't have a key, eh?
Philip Marlowe: Yeah, wasn't it. By the way, how'd you happen to have one?
Eddie Mars: Is that any of your business?
Philip Marlowe: I could make it my business.
Eddie Mars: I could make your business mine.
Philip Marlowe: Oh, you wouldn't like it. The pay's too small.

Kathryn Mason: I'm not going to the party.
Richard Mason: Oh yes you are. It's our fifth anniversary, you wouldn't miss it for anything. You'll go and I'll go like thousands of others go and laugh at the rest of them.

Kathryn Mason: You're in love with her aren't you? I thought so. Well what're you going to do about it?
Richard Mason: How can I do anything about it? I haven't said anything to her and I don't intend to. When I married you, your sister was jusjt a kid. Now she's grown up and I happen to find myself in love with her. Just one of those things that can't be helped.
Kathryn Mason: I suppose you'd like me to step out of the picture, well I'll never do that.
Richard Mason: I know that.
Kathryn Mason: As though you should try to leave me because she'd never marry you anyway, she's too loyal.
Richard Mason: I know that too.

Cabby: That's where you're wrong. Unless you'd be happier back in Quentin.
Vincent Parry: Yeah... yeah, sure. That's why they sent us up there. To make us happy.
