California, the department-store state. The most of everything and the best of nothing. Here we go again. You’re not human tonight, Marlowe.
Malibu. More movie stars. More pink and blue bathtubs. More tufted beds. More Chanel No. 5. More Lincoln Continentals and Cadillacs. More wind-blown hair and sunglasses and attitudes an pseudo-refined voices and waterfront morals. Now, wait a minute. Lots of nice people work in pictures. You’ve got the wrong attitude, Marlowe. You’re not human tonight.
~ Raymond Chandler, The Little Sister (Liner Notes zur CD)
