Mike Hammer: Murder Takes All1989

Brad Peters:
Can I ask you a question?

Mike Hammer:
Sure. Why not? You've been doing it since the day I met you.

Brad Peters:
Do you think I'm funny?

Mike Hammer:
I don't know, Brad. I may be the wrong guy to ask. I've haven't smiled in three days.

Brad Peters:
The reason I asked is I've been thinking about changing careers. And I like working for Doctor Durant, but what I really want to do is be a comedian. I just don't know if I can make people laugh. That's all. You know.

Mike Hammer:
You got a point.

Brad Peters:
Want to hear a joke?

Mike Hammer:
No, Brad. I'll stick with the crime.

Brad Peters:
You're not even good comfort. You know that?

Mike Hammer:
Find you own desert, pal.

Brad Peters:
I'm in a lot of trouble because of you. You know. I mean. What was I suppose to do? And why did you level with me? You're working for somebody, aren't you? That's right. You're being paid to get that book.
