H. H. Hughson: You are a man of obvious good taste in everything. Why did you...
John Robie: Why did I take up stealing? To live better, to own things I couldn't afford, to acquire this good taste that you now enjoy and which I should be very reluctant to give up.
H. H. Hughson: Then you are frankly dishonest.
John Robie: I try to be.
-- "To Catch a Thief"
(for those looking for specifics, Robie's a Latitude D520. Matte black and charcoal gray chassis, lovely display, and a keyboard that's a joy to type on)
