„I distrust a man that says when. If he's got to be careful not to drink to much it's because he's not to be trusted when he does.“
— Dashiell Hammett, The Maltese Falcon
Context: "We begin well, sir," the fat man purred … "I distrust a man that says when. If he's got to be careful not to drink too much it's because he's not to be trusted when he does. … Well, sir, here's to plain speaking and clear understanding. … You're a close-mouthed man?"
