Don't know what made me think of this quote. Wandering around, looking for an ATM. In Chinatown.
"Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown."

(Joe Mantell)
Chinatown.
Written by Robert Towne, with an uncredited assist from Roman Polanski.
Rumor has it that Towne had written an upbeat, happy ending but Polanski insisted on a tragic one, sparking many heated arguments. In the end, Towne finally admitted that Polanski probably got it right.
