"We can do nothing else till we cease bleeding other people."
"You are plain about it, Peter."
"I am always plain, Monroe."
"Have you seen Cobb lately?" asked Monroe.
"Yesterday."
"How're things coming?"
"They're coming for the present," answered Peter. "Don't you think I need them coming to keep up this establishment when I am fully in the swim?"
"You probably do, Peter. I will run opposition to you when I get what's coming to me."
"Be sure you don't get into the Pen, Monroe," said Peter, looking up sidewise at Monroe, with a strange meaning in his eyes.
