"It all began last May.  Around the end of May it was.  I'd been out
to Glendale to deliver a policy on some dairy trucks.  On the way
back I remembered this auto renewal near Los Feliz Boulevard.  So
I drove over there.  It was one of those California Spanish houses
everyone was nuts about ten or fifteen years ago.  This one must
have cost somebody about 30,000 bucks, that is if he ever finished
paying for it.  It was a hot afternoon and I can still remember the
smell of honeysuckle all along that street.  How can I have known
that murder can sometimes smell like honeysuckle."

--Double Indemnity, the film
