Quote context

[...]

- Mr. Vadas assured me that you have your trousers specially made.

- Well, that's a lie! Mr. Vadas. So that's the kind of a man you trust. I've never been to a tailor in my life.

- If you think I'm bowlegged, come on out in the sidewalk and I'll pull up my trousers.

- How would you like it if I started making remarks about how red your hands are?

- That's just exactly what you did.

- Oh, no. Not until after you started making fun of my legs.

- My hands aren't red at all!

- No, after I called your attention to them.

- Now, let me tell you something, Miss Novak. You may have very beautiful thoughts but you certainly hide them.

- As far as your actions are concerned, you're cold and snippy like an old maid and you're gonna have a tough time getting a man to fall in love with you.

- I, an old maid? So, no man could fall in love with me? Really, Mr. Kralik, you're getting funnier every minute.

- Why, I could show you letters that would open your eyes. No, I guess not, you probably wouldn't understand what's in them. They're written by a type of man so far superior to you it isn't even funny.

- 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, 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.
