Get this and get it straight.
Crime is a sucker's road.
And those who travel it wind up in the gutter of the prison of the grave.
There's no other end.
But they never learn.
There's nothing really wrong with a hot summer.
But if some sadist really wanted to bring out the worst in anybody, particularly me, after a steaming day, all he has to do is expose me to air conditioning.
Take, for instance, the Broadview Hotel, which was on Olive Street in downtown L.A.
It ground out alternating currents of cold air from what could laughingly be called the lobby.
I'd revolved through the usual doors and stood squinting into the icy darkness.
When my eyes leveled off again, I made my way to the elevators, sinking into the deep pile carpeting up to my hot and cold ankles.
By the time I reached room 972, I was in the first stages of a chill.
Air conditioning is a marvelous invention.
It guarantees the summer cold for life.
Oh, you're Mr. Marlowe?
That's right.
That makes you Mr. Allman, huh?
Come in, come in.
Martin Allman?
Come in.
