- 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?

Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- There's the woman's point of view.

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek.

- Mr. Matuschek.

- Yes, Miss...

- Novak.

- Novak.

- How much are you selling it for?

- Well, uh, let me see. $4.25.

- $4.25?

- Yes, $4.25.

- That's a bargain! That's a real bargain!

- 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?

- Oh, yes, madam. That's Ochi Tchornya. It's a very popular classic.

- Oh, no, that would never do. Where do people get ideas like that? Can you imagine, every time you take a piece of candy you have to listen to that song?

- No, I couldn't buy a thing like that. It's really too silly. No.

- I know just what you mean, madam. And yet, do you know that some of our customers like it for the very thing you object to. We've sold quite a few especially to ladies.

- Really?

- Yes, madam.

- There's no denying that we all have a weakness for candy. And when I say weakness I don't mean to say anything against candy. Oh, no. I only mean that sometimes we are inclined to overdo it a little.

- I suppose so.
