Eddie Mars
- 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.
- Philip Marlowe: Oh, Eddie, you don't have anybody watching me, do you? Tailing me in a gray Plymouth coupe, maybe?
- Eddie Mars: No, why should I?
- Philip Marlowe: Well, I can't imagine, unless you're worried about where I am all the time.
- Eddie Mars: I don't like you that well.
- Eddie Mars: Your story didn't sound quite right.
- Philip Marlowe: Oh, that's too bad. You got a better one?
- Eddie Mars: Maybe I can find one.
- Philip Marlowe: [speaking into the phone] Hello, let me talk to Mr. Mars.
- Eddie Mars: This is Mars.
- Philip Marlowe: Oh, hello, Eddie. This is Marlowe.
- Eddie Mars: Marlowe?
- Philip Marlowe: Yeah, Marlowe. Or what's left of him.
