Playing for Keeps

          In Noir we live in the presence of characters who, for better or worse, and with a certain panache, are playing for keeps, and who sometimes shine most brightly when they lose - as though in loss there's a secret that does no earthly good but feeds the soul.

Spell Your Name Right

      As long as they spell your name right and you are not accused of dope or rape, you are all right.
