Will film do? I just happen to have a little book called The Little Black and White Book of Film Noir that collects quotes from '40s and '50s movies:
We go together, Laurie. I don't know why. Maybe like guns and ammunition go together. -- Gun Crazy
With my brains and your looks we could go places. -- Postman
The bonds of matrimony can weigh heavy on one's soul. -- divorce attorney in Born to Kill
I seem to remember you from one of my dreams. One of the better ones. --Murder My Sweet
She reminds me of the first woman who slapped my face. -- Road House
She was worth a stare, she was trouble. -- Big Sleep
She was cute as lace pants. -- Murder My Sweet
That's enough to make a bulldog bust his chain. -- Naked Kiss
And wasn't Robert Mitchum supposed to have told his future wife something like, Stick with me baby and you'll be farting through silk panties?
