James M. Cain Quotes

A Receptionist Is A Lazy Dame That Can't Do Anything On Earth, And Wants To Sit Out Front Where Everybody Can Watch Her Do It. She's The One In The Black Silk Dress, Cut Low In The Neck And High In The Legs, Just Inside The Gate, In Front Of That Little One-position Switchboard, That She Gets A Right Number Out Of Now And Then, Mostly Then. You Know, The One That Tells You To Have A Seat, Mr Doakes Will See You In Just A Few Minutes. Then She Goes On Showing Her Legs And Polishing Her Nails. If She Sleeps With Doakes She Gets Twenty Bucks A Week, If Not She Gets Twelve. In Other Words, Nothing Personal About It And I Don't Want To Hurt Your Feelings, But By The Looks Of This Card I'd Say That Was You.'
'It's Quite All Right. I Sleep Fine.
