Quote from Harry in Moby Dick
Harry: Aah! Tommy: Why are you so jumpy? Harry: Oh, I'm smack dab in the middle of Dying Is Deadly. Number 14 in the Anson Nembrook detective series. Oh, it's a gripper. Tommy: I think August is cheating on me. Harry: Why? Did she take out a big insurance policy on you and then have her lover cut your brake lines? Tommy: I don't know what to do. Harry: Well, don't ask me. I'm three days away from retirement.
