You know, there's something about this that's like... well, it's like you're expecting a letter that you're just crazy to get, and you hang around the front door for fear you might not hear him ring. You never realize that he always rings twice. The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946) dir. Tay Garnett

Suppose you were starving to death and you didn't have any food and you didn't have any place to get anything. And there were some loaves of bread out in front of a market.

You see, I'd have a six-course dinner at a fancy restaurant across the street and then say I forgot my purse. Get the difference?
