- Well, look around for yourself. You can see what kind of business we're doing.

- I beg your pardon.

- Yes, madam? How much is that belt in the window the one that says $2.95?

- $2.95.

- 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.

- I worked for two years at Blasek and Company and I left of my own accord. And before that I was at Latzki Brother 10 months.

- 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.

- Why don't you go back?

- Well, that's another story.

- Look, if it was up to me, I'd put you to work right away. But I'm not the boss.

- Then why don't you let me see him?

- Well, he's in sort of a bad mood today.

- Oh, I'll take a chance. Maybe I can cheer him up.

- My dear young lady, I've been here for nine years and I know Mr. Matuschek inside out.
