Date: 2006-03-20 02:08 pm (UTC)My favourite scene from Raymond Chandler is a little moment in "The Lady in the Lake" where the mean, psychopathic baddy has Marlowe and a small town sherrif at gunpoint, and is just about to shoot them. the sherrif is described throughout the book as lazy, old, a bit slow. But he also catches Marlowe poking around, and seems to know just about everything that's going on in his town/
Anyway, the baddie (a horrible piece of work, a multiple murderer and a crooked cop who's beat up Marlowe more than once) taunts them by saying that he'll give them a chance, and puts his gun back in its holster - "C'mon old man, try and outdraw me."
The sherrif starts to complain about how Marlowe's put him in this corner, how he's an old man... The baddie goes for his gun and next thing it's flying across the room and the sherrif is shaking his head.
"I've been handling guns more ears than you've been alive, son, you never want to give someone like me a break."
Like he says. You never want to give someone like me a break.
