We’ve become a race of Peeping Toms. What people ought to do is get outside their own house and look in for a change. Yes sir. How’s that for a bit of homespun philosophy?

Unless he put her in standing on end, in which case he wouldn’t need the knives and saw.

It made him sick to have to turn money over to the guys who stole it. He’d rather whack 'em. Anyway, what did I care? I wasn’t asking for anything and besides, Jimmy was making nice money with me through my Pittsburgh connections. But still, months after the robbery, they were finding bodies all over. ---

Yeah, sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice M.L.T.; a mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich. Where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.
