    “You’ve just fulfilled the first role of law enforcement. Make sure when your shift is over you go home alive.”
    —David Mamet, U.S. screenwriter, and Brian DePlama. Jimmy Malone (Sean Connery)

    “There used to be two kinds of kisses. First when girls were kissed and deserted; second, when they were engaged. Now there’s a third kind, where the man is kissed and deserted. If Mr. Jones of the nineties bragged he’d kissed a girl, everyone knew he was through with her. If Mr. Jones of 1919 brags the same everyone knows it’s because he can’t kiss her any more. Given a decent start any girl can beat a man nowadays.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
