A scene from Notorious 1946
Alicia

What's this all about, huh? What's your angle?

Devlin

What angle?

Alicia

About last night.

Devlin

Just wanted to be friends.

Alicia

Friends, yeah. You could frame me, hmm?

Devlin

No, I've got a job for ya.

Alicia

Oh well, don't tell me. There's only, oh, there's only one job that you coppers would want me for. Well you can forget it Mr....

Devlin

Devlin.

Alicia

What?

Devlin

Devlin.

Alicia

I'm no stool-pigeon, Mr. Devlin.

Devlin

My department authorized me to engage you to do some work for us. There's a job in Brazil.

Alicia

Oh, go away. The whole thing bores me.

Devlin

Some of the German gentry who are paying your father are working in Rio. Ever hear of the I. G. Farben Industries?

Alicia

I tell you, I'm not interested.

Devlin

Farben has men in South America, planted there before the war. They're cooperating with the Brazilian government to smoke them out. My chief thinks that the daughter of a, uh...

Alicia

A traitor?

Devlin

Well, he thinks you might be valuable in the work. They might sell their trust to you. And you could make up a little for your daddy's peculiarities.

Alicia

Why should I?

Devlin

Patriotism.

Alicia

That word gives me a pain. No thank you. I don't go for patriotism, nor patriots.

Devlin

I could dispute that with you.

Alicia

Waving the flag with one hand and picking pockets with the other. That's your patriotism. Well, you can have it.
