Where's this scene/line from.

Some scenes and lines stick with you a long time after you've forgotten all the rest of the movie.

Old Robert Mitchum movie, probably B&W, in a dingy hotel room.
Woman present: 'Why are you ironing your money?'

Mitchum: 'I always iron my money when I'm nervous'

I used to be with it, but then they changed what `it` was.
Now, what I`m with isn`t it, and what`s `it` seems weird and scary

A quick google search finds this:

His Kind Of Woman

Contains the line "Whenever I'm bored, I always iron my money."

Thanks. 

Does occur to me though that Google is getting that sophisticated that it's helping to drive a nail in the coffin of sites like this.

Facebook is a f**king mess. I stopped using it two or three years back.
I only ever set it up when this forum had a serious amount of downtime and I found folk on there after a bit of Googling.
That and a couple of groups specific to Arsenal.

I could never find anything on the damn site and every time I logged on they'd moved stuff or altered it around so I couldn't be bothered anymore.

EDIT: I did have a vague hope this might develop into a 'Who is/was it' thread but now Facebook has reared it's ugly head I guess that's Zuckered.

It's been my experience that if you keep ploughing the same furrow fashion will come back your way several times in the average life span.
