Chinatown (1974)

Richard Bakalyan: Loach

Quotes 

• Loach : What happened to your nose, Gittes? Somebody slammed a bedroom window on it?

  Jake Gittes : Nope. Your wife got excited. She crossed her legs a little too quick. You understand what I mean, pal?

• Lt. Escobar : You look like you've done well by yourself.

  Jake Gittes : I get by.

  Lt. Escobar : Well, sometimes it takes a while for a man to find himself. Maybe you have.

  Loach : Yeah, goin' through other people's dirty linen.

  Jake Gittes : Yeah. Tell me. You still throw Chinamen into jail for spittin' on the laundry?

  Lt. Escobar : You're a little behind the times, Jake. They use steam irons now. And I'm out of Chinatown.
