Bogart as Philip Marlowe in _The Big Sleep_: I don’t mind if you don’t like my manners; I don’t like them myself. They’re pretty bad. I grieve over them on long winter evenings. Lauren Bacall, to Bogie as he hefts an unconscious girl in _To Have and Have Not_: What are you trying to do, guess her weight? Michael Caine in _Get Carter_: You’re a big man, but you’re in bad shape. With me it’s a full time job. Now behave yourself. Bob Hoskins in _The Long Good Friday_: “Nothing unusual,” he says! Eric’s been blown to smithereens, Colin’s been carved up, and I’ve got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual? Audrey Hepburn in _Charade_: I already know an awful lot of people and until one of them dies I couldn’t possibly meet anyone else. ---
