[That, at least, is true. He knows it from experience, his own and watching those around him. It does all make sense in a logical progression, but he can't shake the distrust of knowing just how self serving Monty is underneath it all.
And even aside from that, trusting Monty is hardly the main issue here. He doesn't even know if he wants to ever see Renart again, let alone start anything up with her.
His expression does soften ever so slightly, tone becoming more neutral and less aggressive.]
As I told you when I first came to you, nothing's ever gonna happen between me and Renart, anyway.
[Which is a gross understatement, but he's already discussed this with John and got as drunk as possible, he's not discussing it with the one person here he actively considers an enemy.]
If you've said all you want to say, then you should get out.
[This man's manners leave so very much to be desired. Monty purses his lips to keep from saying as much as he picks himself up and straightens his suit.]
Good day, Mr. Barnes.
[He's out and away, closing the door with more force than he probably should.]

But I would urge you not to cut her out.
