The city's different at night. The air smells better. It's harder to see that the oil rigs outnumber the palm trees and it's almost like the good old days. At least the way I'd
like to remember them. Stay in this business long enough and every street leads to a place you'd like to forget. Every case brings back memories of what might have been, and every skirt reminds you of another woman. 

Or, if you've got it bad enough, the same woman.
