Quote #10
"She was in my bed—naked. I threw her out on her ear. I guess maybe Regan did the same thing to her sometime. But you can't do that to Carmen." (32.50)
Most folks would think that Marlowe's a pretty lucky guy to come home and find a beautiful woman naked in his bed. But Marlowe is unmoved by Carmen's bold visit. It's not that he doesn't find her attractive (he comments on her beauty all the time), but he also plays the role of the chaste knight who turns down sexual temptations.
