Once again, she had left him wanting. As before, the heat between them rose like noon at the Equator. Then she would cool off like the May waters off Antarctica. He let out a long and particularly dramatic sigh. In his best Strother Martin, he said, “What we got here is... failure to fornicate.” He didn’t care whether this offended her or not, she had no appreciation for him or for film classics.

Cormac Brown is a pen name. The man behind the name is an up-and-slumming writer in the city of Saint Francis, and he's following in the footsteps of Hammett... minus the TB and working for the Pinkerton Agency. A couple of stories he's stapled and stitched together can be found here. He is the author of 24fps.

A cute little 6S.
“What we got here is... failure to fornicate.”
This line doesn't offend ME! I like it even better than the original.

If only my parents had read the Failure To Fornicate 'hand'book, I'd have an inheritance worth talking about to look forward to.
Nice.
Great writing and great style. Look forward to reading more of your sixes.
fucking fantastic. "failure to fornicate". I love you so hard right now.
Nice lines Mr. C!

That was absolutely amazing and somehow erotic despite the failure to fornicate. And with that wicked sense of humor and extensive film knowledge, if she won't appreciate him then tell him to give me a call and I'll show him a whole new definition for the word. :P
Crude, maybe, but honest, witty and straight to the point. Can't say I blame him - what good is a woman who doesn't appreciate him or film classics?
how did i miss this???
last line? perfection!
