Quote context

- Do you see that cigar?

- That's a brand of cigar I've smoked for 35 years. Your grandfather smoked the same brand.

- I know the quality of the tobacco in it because I happen to own the plantation where it was grown, and I know therefore that when I light it, it will burn smoothly and pleasantly. I know above everything else that it will never explode in my face.

- And you're afraid that Johnny might?

- There's a strange new spirit at work in the world today, a spirit of revolt. I don't understand it, and I don't like it.

- He'll burn, Father, calmly, steadily, pleasantly.

- It's only of you and your happiness I'm thinking.

- Father... you can trust me. I'll take care of myself.
