A close-mouth man

From: The Maltese Falcon

You're a close-mouth man? –No, I like to talk. –Better and better. I distrust a close-mouth 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.

Looking after himself

From: The Maltese Falcon

I do like a man who tells you right out he's looking after himself. Don't we all? I don't trust a man who says he's not.

Not drink too much

From: The Maltese Falcon

I distrust a man who says 'when.' He's got to be careful not to drink too much, because he's not to be trusted when he does.

Delicate judgment

From: The Maltese Falcon

(laughing) That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgment on both sides. 'Cause as you know, sir, in the heat of action men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and let their emotions carry them away.
