"I've read about people like you. You're like one of these obsessed cops. The kind nobody'll ride with 'cos their partners wind up dead or crazy."

And in "The Barefoot Contessa" (Joseph L. Mankiewicz, 1954), there's a scene where a drunken blonde makes a comment about the Contessa (played by Ava Gardner) and is quickly shot down by another lady named Jerry;

Drunken Blonde- "She hasn't even got what I've got."

Jerry- "What she's got you couldn't spell, and what you've got, you used to have!"

Oh, and of course, the entire 'horse racing' discussion scene between Bogart and Bacall in "The Big Sleep" (Dir; Howard Hawks, 1946)
The Big Sleep is my favorite Bogart movie and I'm pretty sure Martha Vickers is the girl of my dreams.
