Lucius Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 When a man's partner's killed, he's supposed to do something about it. It doesn't make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner, and you're supposed to do something about it. And it happens we're in the detective business. Well, when one of your organization gets killed, it's - it's bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.

Basil Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective Leave the clues and the deductions to the airmchair 'tecs and the pretty boys. As a hard-boiled 'tec, your job is to slog, slog, and slog; to badger, poke and pry. You don't theorize from slender clues, you bludgeon the world into telling you (sometimes too late) the whole story. Well, enough of it to get by.

Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective You should have at least one friend on the police force, though anticipate that he will not hesitate to arrest you/beat you senseless if it's the quickest way to "resolve" the case.
