Thanks a lot.

Normally I just love getting replies to old posts, but now you have me jonesing for Chandler, and I can find online if Farewell My Lovely on Youtube with the audio misaligned with the video. But I'm watching it anyway.

I killed him for money - and a woman - and I didn't get the money and I didn't get the woman.

Classic Chandler.

"i'd hate you to have a smashed fender or something while you're not fully covered."

had me turning over in a fit of laughter. Fred macmurray delivers that line with that face and it is absolutely classic .

Hate is baggage. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time

That exchange is so droll. Phyllis gets the best lines in with her "There's a speeding limit in this state, Mr Neff" and "Suppose I let you off with a warning this time."

Guess I was wrong. You're not smarter, Walter... you're just a little taller.
