Quote context

[...]

- Well, now, all the more reason for me to listen. You know, I was just telling Father...

- If you'll just hear me out, sir. I haven't much time.

- Well, what's the trouble, my boy? I'll not only hear you out, I'll help you out.

- No, you can't. Not in this.

- You see, right now the cops are after me. Not that I've done anything wrong, Father, but...

- There's a couple of pretty tough customers back of this, and they'd like to get their mitts on me. Probably grab me as soon as I show on the streets again.

- If I can't work this out, I want somebody to know what happened, for the sake of a friend of mine, to clear his name.

- Well, what is his name?

- Er... Johnny. He's a pal of mine. He was a paratrooper, too.

- You see, it's like this, sir. A few days ago, they flew Johnny and me home from France in a stripped-down bomber.

- Neither one of us had any idea why the Army had suddenly ripped us out of a Paris hospital.

- We'd been under fancy treatment, me for my shoulder, and Johnny for his punctured lung.
