Quote context

[...]

- No, conditions are none too good right now, Al. Considerable uncertainty in the business picture. Strikes, taxes still ruinous.

- You like that cigar?

- Oh, yes, Mr. Milton. It's fine.

- Hmm, hard to get those during the war, but they're coming in regularly from Havana now.

- All things will read just themselves in time.

- We want you back here with us, Al.

- Well, that's very nice of you, Mr. Milton, but, uh I noticed, uh, Steese sitting at my old desk. I wouldn't wanna push him out.

- Steese will stay right there. You're moving up.

- What would you say to being vice president in charge of small loans at a salary of $12000 a year? What would you say to that, huh?

- I'd say it can't be true.

- Job's there, Al. You're the man for it.

- What makes you think I am, Mr. Milton?

- Well, your war experience would prove invaluable to us here. See, we have many new problems. This GI Bill of Rights, for instance. It involves us in consideration of all kinds of loans to ex-servicemen.

- Well? What do you say, Al?

- Well... I'm overwhelmed.

- Of course. Of course.

- Will you bring them in now please, Mrs. Garrett?

- Yes, sir.

- I'd thought of taking it easy for a while.

- Naturally, my boy. After what you've been through, you need a vacation. Thank you. Thank you.

I used to toss a scoop of ice cream in the air adjust for wind drift, velocity, altitude, and, wham, in the cone every time. I figure that's where I really learned to drop bombs.
Well, that's vanishing cream. This is a vanishing cream remover. I'll tell you how you can save money. If you don't put that on, then you don't need this to take that off.
Yeah, I know. You're the junkman. You get everything sooner or later.
Don't say it, chum. The customer's always right, so I'm fired. But this customer wasn't right.
How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me, that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again?
