This week's film noir quote: The Maltese Falcon (1941)

Kasper Gutman: You're a close-mouthed man?
Sam Spade: Nah, I like to talk.
Kasper Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously, unless you keep in practice.
Kasper Gutman: Now, sir. We'll talk, if you like. I'll tell you right out, I am a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.
Sam Spade: Swell. Will we talk about the black bird?

News flash: Great Communicators In History

It came as a terrifying shock to The Club that the nickname "The Great Communicator" had already, prior to 2006, been claimed by Ronald Wilson Reagan, the 40th President of The United States.
"The Inner Circle is extremely upset by this development and we are rallying our legal forces as we speak.", a spokesperson for The Club informed the press earlier this afternoon. He then continued: "We will do everything within our power to ensure the integrity of The Club. Hail Reed! Hail Libel! Long live the uprising!"

More information as this story unfolds.

Update (8/24): In large due to current trademark legislation The Club hereby withdraws any and all claims for the exclusive usage of the term "The Great Communicator."
