Quote context

[...]

- I have to laugh when I think of you calling me an old maid. You! You little insignificant clerk.

- Goodbye, Miss Novak.

- Goodbye, Mr. Kralik.

- Well, doctor, I would say it's a nervous breakdown. What do you think?

- It appears to be an acute epileptoid manifestation and a panphobic melancholiac with some indication of a neurasthenia cordus.

- Is that more expensive than a nervous breakdown?

- Pardon me, Mr. Katona. Precisely what position do you hold with Matuschek and Company?

- Well, I would describe myself as a contact man. I keep contact between Matuschek and Company and the customers on a bicycle.

- Do you mean, an errand boy?

- Doctor, did I call you a pill-peddler?

- Hello, Mr. Kralik.

- Well, how is he?

- I wanna thank you for your splendid reaction to my telephone call. I knew you wouldn't fail us.

- Is it serious?

- Actually, it was a terrible shock. Well, I have to get over it.

- Now this whole thing must be kept in strictest confidence. What I told you over the telephone is between the three of us. Me, Mr. Matuschek, and you. Here.

- Ah. Thank you for coming, Kralik. Thank you. Sit down.

- You remember the last time you came to my house for dinner? I said that if things go well, I might take it easier and maybe by Christmas make you manager of the shop. Well, now I have to take it easier.

- Would you care to work for me again? After...

- No, don't even think about it, sir.
