- You were very wise to come early. We'll probably have such a rush and won't be able to take care of the customers.

- Well, in that case, maybe you should take on some extra help.

- Oh, we probably will.

- Well, maybe you could use me. I'm looking for a job.

- You know, that wasn't very nice... letting me go through the whole routine.

- Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I really didn't mean to.

- Do you think you could help me to get a job here?

- Well, I'd like to, but there's no opening.

- Oh, no.

- Excuse me, but may I tell you my qualifications?

- Look, if I could do anything for you, I'd do it.

- You know, I'm not an inexperienced girl.

- Yes, but I know the situation here, and there's no chance.

- My dear child, even if you'd worked at Mintz and Kramer...

- I did!

- I know how to take care of the finest clientele.

- Well, we don't deal with that class of people here. We just have middle-class trade.

- Middle-class? What kind of trade do you think Blasek and Company has? They'd take me back right this minute.

Well, it's difficult to explain a man like him to a man like you. Where you would say, Black, he would say, White. Where you would say, Ugly, he says, Beautiful. And where you say, Old maid, he says... Eyes that sparkle with fire and mystery.
