Adrienne Fromsett: What I want you to do is this: I want you to find Mr. Kingsby's wife without his knowing you're looking for her. She's run off with another man. She's a vicious woman - a liar, a cheat and a thief. She may even end up in the hands of the police. He's had 10 years...
Philip Marlowe: Pardon me if I'm nosey, Miss Fromsett. What makes this any of your business?
Adrienne Fromsett: I handle all of Mr. Kingsby's affairs. He wishes to divorce her. She must be found before she can be served with the papers.
Philip Marlowe: [Snorts] Nice job you have here.
Adrienne Fromsett: [Smiles] You think I'm pretty cold-blooded about this, don't you?
Philip Marlowe: I'd have used a shorter word.
Adrienne Fromsett: [In an indignant tone of voice] I don't like your manner.
Philip Marlowe: I'm not selling it. I'm not selling the story, either, to you. I'm not selling anything. I have an allergy against getting mixed up with tricky females who want to knock off the boss's wife and marry him for themselves.
Adrienne Fromsett: [Now seriously angry] People don't talk to me like that, Mr. Marlowe!
Philip Marlowe: Maybe that's what's the matter with you. Somebody should talk to you like that sometime
