Let's talk like they did in the 40's movies
No one says "that's swell" with such vigor anymore.

5. It was a smoky joint on the bad end of town.
I was feeling like a sap, because the palooka I was supposed to be tailing gave me the slip. Now I was here in this little dive taking my mind off my troubles. I hit up the bartender for a fresh deck of Chesterfields and a jolt of Canadian Club, and then I saw her. A dame who looked as out of place in this gin mill as a whore in church. She was pure silk, with a body that could start a riot in a monastery.

(and I'm feeling the two Vicodin I took a little while ago too much to come up with any more...)

No more of your lip, or I'm going to have to let some daylight through you with my roscoe.

11. A dress tight enough to see her birthmarks...
and a set of lungs that would've made Rubens weep. She looked like a million bucks worth of heartache, but the quiet life was never my style.

(THe Vicodin's for an abcessed tooth...I'm gonna need a root canal. :( Somehow it's more fun when you don't NEED it, y'know? ;) )

14. "When I'm good I'm very good, but when I'm bad I'm better!"
"I generally avoid temptation unless I can't resist it."



Awww...hope you're feelin' better soon! :hug:

15. She moved across the smoky room dressed in red silk.......
...and glides over to my table and asks, "Do you mind if I sit here? I don't like to sit alone in a bar."

"Suit yourself, sister, but I don't feel the need for company."

"Are you drinking tonight tough guy, or are you just going to sit there with that sour mug?"

"I already got three slugs in me, babe. Two are bourbon, and ones from a .45. It was a present from a goon who had a girl friend that looked just like you. I think her name was Trouble. From the looks of it, you could be her sister."

20. Alright, now listen up youse mugs!
There's a guy who walks the beat in these parts and he's called Big; like Large with a capital Huge and sometimes he'll mess up a guy's face just for laughs, you know what I mean?

He's been known to lock a guy up 'cause he don't like the way a guy's talking, or the way he treats a dame. He'll even plant you under a tombstone if he's got nothing better to do or his boss tells him to.

Nope Mr Big don't like no trouble unless he's causing it.

21. What a tomato. She looked like a million bucks, tax free.
I poured a slug of hooch for her, and snuck another peek at those swell gams.

22. Didja getta load of the gams on that broad?
Hey, Frenchie, couldja fix that tire? And shake a leg maybe? What do you hayseeds do for fun around here anyway? Or maybe I don't want to know that. Like I don't want to know what happened to that bottle blonde who used to sling hash in the diner? Know who I mean? Big Al's little friend? No, I guess, you don't. And I really don't want to know what the inside of your local cooler looks like. So OK, bub, keep moving along like you're doing. There might be a fin in it for you if I can beat it out of this burg as fast as I got in.
