“She grinned at me. 'You got types?'
Only you darling - lanky brunettes with wicked jaws.”

Raymond Chandler?

Close, but no cigar .... yet ...

Dashiell Hammett? The Maltese Falcon?

Right author - wrong book

Since Maltese Falcon is the only Hammett I've ever read I am out.

Oh, yeah. It was that other book by Dashiell Hammett; the one that contained the passages you quoted. Am I right? Take it away, me!

Yes, I know it. (Because I promptly gave up, yesterday, and looked it up.)

I knew there was no chance I'd identify it.

I loved the movie. One of my favorite set of lines from the movie was--

"Is this my drink?"

"Well, I don't know. What were you drinking?"

"Rye and soda."

Gulp. "Yep, that was your drink."

Not only are you the first to achieve a two-fer, stumping everyone in the book and movie dialog threads at the same time, but you did it in great style with the same title as answer in both threads.
