"I used to like this town a long time ago...Beverly Hills was a country town. Westwood was bare hills and lots offering at $1100. Los Angeles was just a big dry sunny place...goodhearted and peaceful. Hollywood was a bunch of frame houses...People used to sleep out on porches."
"You can tell us what you want now. And make it snappy, Marlowe." After a moment the man on the couch slowly raised the arm with the cigarette at the end of it wearily to his mouth, and drew on it with the infinite languor of a decadent aristocrat moldering in a ruined château.
I killed my cigarette and got another out and went through all the slow futile face-saving motions of lighting it..blowing smoke off to one side, inhaling deeply as though that scrubby little office was a hilltop overlooking the ocean--all the tired cliché mannerisms of my trade.

"Room 332 was at the back near the fire escape. The corridor had a smell of old carpet..and the drab anonymity of a thousand shabby lives. I knocked..Nothing happened. I felt jaded and old..as if I had spent my life knocking at doors in cheap hotels that nobody bothered to open."
"It was one of those clear, bright summer mornings we get in the early spring in California, before the high fog sets in. The rains are over...across the Hollywood hills you can see snow on the high mountains...and in Beverly Hills the jacaranda trees are beginning to bloom."
"She knew that when she played she was giving pleasure only to herself..She had never, since the age of 14, never since the loss of her dear mother, known the happiness of being listened to, or encouraged"
