Thread Name: BS: Unfortunate quotes from films
Subject: RE: BS: Unfortunate quotes from films
Quotes from old films can be strange after time has altered the meaning of a word. From The Big Sleep, with Humphrey Bogart as private detective Phillip Marlowe:

Marlowe: I'm a private dick on a case. Perhaps I'm asking too much, although it doesn't seem too much to me somehow.
