(knock on door) Come in.

- What is it?

- Mr. Matuschek, I'd like to talk to you for a moment.

- Well, is it important?

- Well, it's important to me.

- Is it important to Matuschek and Company?

- Not exactly, sir.

- Well, then, I'm sorry. I'm busy. You'll have to see me later.

- Pardon me, sir.

- Well, what is it now?

- Well, sir, for several days your attitude toward me seems to have changed.

- Oh. Has it?

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek, it has.

- Now, really, I'm completely at a loss to understand it. After all, I do my work.

- And you get paid for it?

- Yes, sir.

- Every month?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, well, everything seems to be alright then, doesn't it?

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek.

- Did you see him?

- I'm not going to stand for this much longer. What does that man want of me, anyway? And why does he always have to pick on me?

- Well, you are his oldest employee.

- Well, that's a fine reason.

- He picks on me, too. The other day he called me an idiot. What could I do? I said, Yes, Mr. Matuschek I'm an idiot. I'm no fool.

- Listen, maybe he has business worries. Or maybe he has some trouble with his wife.

- Is that true, Pirovitch? Is he having trouble with his wife?

- I don't know it's none of my business. I'm talking to Kralik. What do you want? And I don't know anything. Leave me alone, please.

- Kralik, don't be impulsive. Not at a time like this. Not when millions of people are out of work.

- I can get a job anywhere.

- Can you? Let's be honest.

- Anyway, I'll take a chance. I'm no coward, you know. I'm not afraid.

- I am. I have a family.

- Well, I haven't.
