This whole discussion made me find the book and get ready to reread my favorite passages again. The bookmark just happened to be at the part where he lined up the prostitute:

“Okay, I said. It was against my principles and all, but I was feeling so depressed I didn’t even think. That’s the whole trouble. When you’re feeling very depressed, you can’t even think.

“Hey, is she good looking?” I asked him. “I don’t want any old bag.”
