Meet Boston Blackie1941

Cecelia Bradley:
You thrive on this sort of excitement, don't you?

Horatio 'Boston Blackie' Black:
Well, it's better than vegetating.

Cecelia Bradley:
Couldn't anyone ever make you live like other people do?

Horatio 'Boston Blackie' Black:
You mean a normal life with a social security number and a bank book? [Chuckles] I'm afraid not.

Cecelia Bradley:
Not anyone?

Horatio 'Boston Blackie' Black:
Unh-unh.

Cecelia Bradley:
Why?

Horatio 'Boston Blackie' Black:
Because she'd probably want to wait up for me nights with a light burning in the window.

Cecelia Bradley:
Is that bad?

Horatio 'Boston Blackie' Black:
Yes. I'm not in the habit of entering a house until all the lights are out.
