Chinatown reference
I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure that there's a reference to Chinatown. The scene where Gittes (Jack Nicholson) is in the car with someone, i think it was Ms. Mulray (Faye Dunaway) and he tells her to honk four times: long, short, long, short if someone comes home or something like that. or it could have been The Maltese Falcon, and it was a doorbell. Anyway, there seems to be a reference to that when Brendan tells Laura a similar thing if she sees Dode. Does anyone know the reference? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or is the "long short long short" thing some kinda well-known code?
