Eileen Wade
- Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: You know, if I could just get you to understand that when a writer can't write, it's just like being impotent.
- Eileen Wade: I understand what that's like, too.
- Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: Oh, you do, do you? You do? BALLS, BABY, BALLS!
- Eileen Wade: Listen, would you like something to eat?
- Philip Marlowe: Yeah, I guess if you've got some cold bologna, mayonnaise and bread I'll hang around for a while.
- Philip Marlowe: Roger Wade. Big writer.
- Eileen Wade: He's a big man too. Six foot five, weighs 220 pounds. Once you've seen his face, you'll never forget it.
- Philip Marlowe: Sounds like some kind of monster.
- Eileen Wade: Only when he drinks. Would you like a drink?
- Philip Marlowe: The Lennoxes, Terry and Sylvia, they used to live up the beach, did you know them?
- Eileen Wade: Very slightly, like one knows most people on the beach.
- Eileen Wade: Would you all like some fresh drinks? I'll go and get some more ice. Come on, don't let this break the party up.
- Roger Wade aka Billy Joe Smith: Okay, okay, okay, get out. Get out, all of you, goddammit! Get outta here!
- Eileen Wade: Well, it seems the party's come to an abrupt end. Pumpkin time again.
