Quote context

[...]

- Now if I were a girl and had to choose between a young, good-for-nothing with plenty of hair, and a good solid, mature citizen, I'd pick Mathias Popkin every time.

- Well, anyway, he has a fine mind. Didn't he impress you as being rather witty?

- Well, he struck me as rather depressed, but of course, it's unfair to judge a man when he's out of a job.

- Out of a job! He never told me!

- Why, that shows you how sensitive he is. You have nothing to worry about. No, he feels that both of you can live very nicely on your salary.

- Did you tell him how much I make?

- Well, he's your fiance, and he asked me. I... When I told him what salary you made he was a little worried, but then I promised him that you were gonna get a raise and he felt much better about it.

- And let me tell you, mentioning that bonus didn't do you any harm at all.

- Oh, this is terrible. Why, I'm outraged! I had no idea he was materialistic like this.

- Why, if you could read his letters. Such ideals, such a lofty point of view. I could quote you passages.

- For instance?

- Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.

- Oh. And I thought I was the inspiration for all those beautiful thoughts. Now I find he was just copying words out of a book. He probably didn't mean a single one of them.

- Well, I'm sorry you feel this way about it. I'd hate to think I'm spoiling your Christmas.

Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.
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.
Good morning, madam. It's a lovely box, isn't it? -Oh, yes. It's a candy box, isn't it? -Yes, madam, a candy box and I should say, a very unusual one. May I open it for you?
Did you ever get a bonus? -Yes, once. -The boss hands you the envelope, you wonder how much is in it, you don't want to open it. As long as the envelope's closed, you're a millionaire. You keep postponing that moment and you can't postpone it forever.
It took me a whole hour to decide that I like this box.
