And that's why I like it here so much. When you say, Miss Novak let's go into the stockroom and put some bags on the shelf well, you really want to put some bags on the shelf. And that's my idea of a gentleman.

Quote context

[...]

- Now, you don't have to keep harping on that.

- Oh, no, I didn't mean it that way at all, Mr. Kralik.

- Regardless of what I think of you personally, I believe that anybody who works with you and doesn't get a great deal out of it, is just plain dumb.

- Just what do you mean? What do you think of me personally?

- Oh, well, I mean, since you ask, no matter what anybody else says against you, I think you're a gentleman.

- Well, I try to be.

- And, oh, Mr. Kralik you have no idea what that means to a working girl.

- What a girl goes through in some shops. Now, take for instance when I was with Foeldes Brothers and Sons. Well, the sons were alright but the brothers, Mr. Kralik...

- And that's why I like it here so much. When you say, Miss Novak let's go into the stockroom and put some bags on the shelf well, you really want to put some bags on the shelf. And that's my idea of a gentleman.

- Well, I just don't believe in mixing bags with pleasure.

- Yes, Miss Novak?

- About that blouse...

- Oh, I'm sorry, but I had to do that.

- But I wanna thank you. I'm so glad you did it.

- You know, in the bottom of my heart after thinking it all over, you're so right. That blouse was awful.

- Oh, no, not awful.

- Of course, I wouldn't admit it at the time, but what woman would? We hate to admit we are wrong. That's why we're so feminine.

- You know, this is the first time you've shown a little sense. Quite a change in you, Miss Novak.

- I know it, Mr. Kralik.

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.

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.

Now, wait a minute. You are the boss. That's right. But I am not going to be a yes man. No, sir. You know what I'm going to do? I'm going to contradict you. I do like you!

I think it's romantic. -What's romantic about it? -Well, cigarettes and music. I don't know. It makes me think of moonlight and... cigarettes and music.
