Peter McDermott:
Bailey just told me about the negro couple you turned away. Now, I want to... find them and give them a room. Warren Trent:
What? Peter McDermott:
We've been over this a dozen times. You knew it was going to happen sooner or later. You promised me you'd roll with this. Warren Trent:
Well, I'm not gonna roll with it until they make me. Why, I'd lose all my own standbys if I started lettin' colored people in the Hotel. Peter McDermott:
We've got statistics on all of these segged hotels. Their clientele hasn't changed one half of one percent! Warren Trent:
Now, look, Pete... Peter McDermott:
Now, Warren! If this is a civil rights action it'll be all over the newspapers tomorrow. Laswell's union has a large membership of negroes. He can't put money into a business were they turn negroes away! He's gonna blow the whistle on our deal. Warren Trent:
Well, why weren't you here to handle it for me? You know I don't understand things like unions, civil rights, indoor ballgames, I don't understand the whole damn world anymore. That's what I don't understand
