Incidentally I've been reading Hammett and Chandler all summer while watching HBO's Philip Marlowe, PI from 1986 and have a Noir Detective thread in TBB. Pours some 'Dew from the office bottle.

“It all came down to money - any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a particular country or socio-economic context - the great equalizer and common denominator, in a metaphorical sense.” ― James Ellroy, The Big Nowhere

He shushed the crying damsel in the corner, he'd get to her kidnapped twins later. As he logged on to his emphatically non-apple computer his heart rate quickly shot up from its usual and comfortable 110bpm. His breathing intensified, his pupils became dilated. Someone was wrong on the internet. He hadn't been this worked up since the passing of 18 U.S. Code § 1466A.

When I got out of the car at the murder scene there was a smell of ham in the air, the diner across the street had its doors open. The uniform cop waved me through, and then I saw her corpse. They had put a white sheet over her. I lifted it back and examined her for and clues. Her hair smelled of ham. I like ham.

He struck a match on his tumbnail and held it to his gold-tipped European cigarette. "Got an answer for everything, don't ya, Sam?" I didn't say anything, I just plucked the cigarette out of his mouth and slapped him on his nose. "SMOKING IS BAD FOR YOU." I said calmly yet clearly. I ignored his protests as I went into the kitchen and held the cigarette under the tap to make sure it was out. 10% of house fires are caused by unattended candles or cigarettes, and I don't take chances.

As he swiped aside the bead curtain to enter, he heard the pull-cord click, snapping to light the single naked bulb in the middle of the room. Instantly, he recognized the unsettling intruder as the hired bodyguard he had encountered the other day. It was a common enough trope.
