“Twenty minutes… Well, why not? In 20 minutes you can sink a battleship, down three or four planes, hold a double execution. You can die, get married, get fired and find a new job, have a tooth pulled, have your tonsils out. In 20 minutes you can even get up in the morning. You can get a glass of water at a night club — maybe.” — Raymond Chandler, Farewell My Lovely (1940)
