Mike

But what if she's right? He didn't do it and they give him the chair?

Martin

Suppose they do? What difference does it make? There's too many people in the world anyway.

Mike

What's the use of talking to you? You think everything's a joke.

Martin

My son, it is. If it weren't, life wouldn't be worth living.

Martin
[noticing how Meng is eyeing the legs of a pretty young woman]

Who is that citizen?

Mike

It's my next door neighbor.

Martin

He looks as though his mind could stand a little laundering.

Mike
[referring to Meng]

Did you ever want to kill a man?

Martin

My son, there's murder in every intelligent man's heart.

Mike

He's no man. He's a worm - the kind you ought to jump on with heavy boots.

Martin

You'll have to do an awful lot of jumping. The Earth is covered with 'em.

Mike
[while absentmindedly gesturing with his dinner knife]

It'd be a real pleasure to cut his throat.

Martin

Say, you're not kidding. Put down that knife!
