Gittes. You're dealing with a disturbed woman who's just lost her husband. I don't want her taken advantage of. Sit down.
Gittes:
What for?
Cross:
You may think you know what you're dealing with, but believe me, you don't. [Gittes smiles] Why is that funny?
Gittes:
It's what the district attorney used to tell me in Chinatown.
Cross:
Yeah? Was he right? Exactly what do you know about me? Sit down.
Gittes:
Mainly that you're rich, and too respectable to want your name in the newspapers.
Cross:
'Course I'm respectable. I'm old. Politicians, ugly buildings, and whores all get respectable if they last long enough.
