“Now you listen to me, I’m an advertising man, not a red herring. I’ve got a job, a secretary, a mother, two ex-wives and several bartenders that depend upon me, and I don’t intend to disappoint them all by getting myself “slightly” killed.”
— Roger Thornhill (Cary Grant), North by Northwest (1959), written by Ernest Lehman
