Johnny Allegro1949

Morgan Vallin:
Roy doesn't trust you, Johnny.

Johnny Allegro:
Roy doesn't?

Morgan Vallin:
Perhaps he doesn't like your face.

Johnny Allegro:
Maybe I don't like his.

Morgan Vallin:
I like this spirit of mutual distrust. It could relieve me of a lot of responsibility. But I don't trust you either. I don't mean to be offensive. It's simply my policy to distrust everyone. To me, suspicion is another word for caution.

Johnny Allegro:
Is that all you wanted to discuss with me?

Morgan Vallin:
Oh no. No. Sit down, Johnny. I'm a man who enjoys competition. For instance, that scene I interrupted when I came in. Competition is healthy in all fields - business, athletics, or women. In the latter category, especially now in our particular case, I have complete confidence because I have the advantage of knowing Glenda.

Johnny Allegro:
Then you can't lose.

Morgan Vallin:
I'm glad you see it that way, Johnny, because I must confess to a weakness. I'm a bad loser.

Johnny Allegro:
Is there anything else?

Morgan Vallin:
We'll consider the incident closed for the present. Why, it's only 10 o'clock. Would you like to hear some good music?

Johnny Allegro:
No, thanks. I think I could use a little fresh air. And besides, good music is wasted on me.
