You don't yell at a sleepwalker. He may fall and break his neck.

fragments of noir: 'It was one of those hot dry Santa Annas that come down thru the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch.

You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge. ............ Red Wind- Raymond Chandler
