Regular Bet

Famous quotes containing the words regular and/or bet:

    He hung out of the window a long while looking up and down the street. The world’s second metropolis. In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.
    John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    Devil: I’ll tell you what. You want to hedge your bet with me? Make eternity a little less ... hellish?
    Amanda: What did you have in mind?
    Devil: Did you see Rosemary’s Baby?
    Blake Edwards (b. 1922)
