Quote context

- He's coming tonight. We're going to celebrate Christmas Eve.

- Mr. Pirovitch, can you keep a secret?

- On my word of honor.

- Well, when I come back Monday, I might have a ring on my finger. Maybe, you never know.

- What? That's wonderful!

- And that's the young man who'll get the cigarette box?

- Uh-huh.

- Oh. Then let's drop the whole thing.

- You see, I thought of giving it to my wife's uncle for Christmas.

- I'm so sorry, can't you give him something else?

- It's not so easy.

- You see, I don't like him. I hate to spend a nickel on him. Still, I must give him a present. So I thought if I have to give him a present at least give him something he won't enjoy.

- The box costs 2.29. That's a lot of money. But it's worth it to ruin my wife's uncle's Christmas.

- Oh, I'm sorry, Miss Novak. I forgot you always liked those.
