I got up on my feet and went over to the bowl in the corner and threw cold water on my face. After a little while i felt a little better, but very little. I needed a drink, i needed a lot of life insurance, i needed a vacation , i needed a home in the country. What i had was a coat, a hat and a gun. I put them on and went out of the room ................

Philip Marlowe is an interesting guy, for sure. I like how moral he gets in "The Long Goodbye"
