Kerosene? (I know it's not literature but it's all I can think of for now)

Good morning from Oregon. I'm two hour later than usual. Sorry.

No one has guessed the specific kind of lamp oil, no longer in use due to international treaty. The other two clues are literary, where Starbuck's job is first mate, but the famous coffee shops were named in his honor.

1. Lamp oil

2. Starbuck’s

3. Benchley's basis for Jaws.

Time for new clues:

4. It's a book written in the late 1800s.

5. A central theme is the death-wish underlying mindless obsession.

6. The short opening line is the most famous in American literature.

Thank you. Name that book and/or movie from three quotes:

1. "Women and children can be careless but not men."

2. "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."

3. "Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer."
