tkdguy Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective If you work in Chinatown' date=' learn to order in Cantonese. The locals will consider you part of the family and the outsiders will just assume you don't understand their nefarious plans.[/b'] I once thought about going to a Chinese restaurant and asking for a glass of water. "You know, AGUA!" The reaction would almost be worth getting my butt kicked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narratio Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective Hard boiled detectives, when entering a bar, never order beer. Just Whiskey. Sometimes, if it's at that point when you have to tell "the story so far", you may get to drink that whiskey. If it's not that time, then some mook with a gun will take you to meet an important person and the whiskey is left on the bar for the bar lush to throw back.

Funksaw Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective There are two kinds of people in this world. Most people are those who'll as soon spit on you as look at you. The other type will make it seem like they're doing you a favor when they stick the knife in you're back.

Roter Baron Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Re: Things I Have Learned Playing a Hard Boiled Detective Expect to get hit on the head several times while on the case. Going unconscious is mandatory and self-explaining. But in the end it never does them goons any good - always get my man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
