Sterling Silver Dialogue From The Movies: 

Do you know where they're from?

Special Film Noir Edition

"Art is one of the remaining ecstasies that is neither immoral nor illegal.."

“We didn’t exactly believe your story, Miss O’Shaughnessy. We believed your two hundred dollars. I mean, you paid us more than if you’d been telling us the truth, and enough more to make it all right.” 

"I won't because all of me wants to regardless of consequences... and because you've counted on it.”

"I've got a pretty good bottle of rye in my pocket and I'd rather get wet in here.”

"You know what he’ll do when he finds out don't you? He'll beat my teeth out, then kick me in the stomach for mumbling.”

"Doesn’t it bother you at all that you’re married?"

(response) "What I want to know is, does it bother you?”

“I hate you so much I think I’m going to die from it.”

(at a roulette wheel) "That’s not the way to win."

(response) "Is there a way to win?"

(reply) "There’s a way to lose more slowly.”

"Maybe I’ll live so long that I’ll forget her. Maybe I’ll die trying.” 

"Maybe you shouldn’t dress like that."

(response) "This is a blouse and skirt. I don’t know what you’re talking about."

(reply) "You shouldn’t wear that body.” 

 “I wouldn’t give you the skin off a grape.” 

"Look, you’re a nice girl, but in case you’re thinking of mothering me, forget it. I’m no stray dog you can pick up, and I like my neck without a collar. Now get lost!” 

"I told you to keep away from that radio. If that battery is dead, it'll have company."

“A woman doesn’t care how a man makes his living, only how he makes love.”

"Okay Marlowe," I said to myself, ‘You’re a tough guy. You’ve been sapped twice, choked, beaten silly with a gun, shot in the arm until you’re as crazy as a couple of waltzing mice. Now let’s see you do something really tough—like puttin' your pants on.”

“Kiss me, Mike. I want you to kiss me. Kiss me. The liar’s kiss that says I love you and means something else. You're good at giving such a kiss. Kiss me."
