"When I finally caught up with Abraham Trahearn, he was drinking beer with an alcoholic bulldog named Fireball Roberts in a ramshackle joint just outside of Sonoma, California, drinking the heart right out of a fine spring afternoon."
--The Last Good Kiss, James Crumley
Now, that's a noir sentence. Here's another really good one, for the self-parodying crowd:
"When you're slapped, you'll take it and like it."--Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, Dashiell Hammett
The '76 Cadillac deVille crashed back onto the road, bottoming out in the asphalt swells of I-15 across the Mohave dunes and leaving a gouge of blood and brains from the undercarriage trapped in the heat-rotted surface at 100 miles-an-hour.
...Hmm... probably not my best sentence ever....

Ah okay, do they also come in square designs? If so, I used to be fascinated by these when I was younger and used to draw them constantly.
That's a pretty crappy "noir" sentence.

"Only yesterday he was a free man, but today, as he drew constantly on his fag, he looked out through the bars of his prison cell, fascinated by the crappy noir tableau of the square designed prison yard, and wondered how he ever let that pretty dame trick him into serving this sentence."
