Quote context

[...]

- Well, now that you're the boss, if you want to give yourself a raise...

- Well, sir, I'll talk it over with myself and if I don't ask for too much money I'll give it to myself. Thank you, sir.

- Congratulations!

- Thank you!

- Well, goodbye, Mr. Matuschek.

- Oh, Pepi, I don't know how to thank you. You saved my life.

- Don't mention it. It was a pleasure.

- Now if you want anything else, you know where to reach me. I'm still nothing but an errand boy at Matuschek and Company.

- In other words, you'd like to be a clerk, huh?

- I wouldn't put it that brutally.

- Well, when I get feeling better...

- Then you might change your mind. Besides, who knows how long you'll have to stay here.

- You're a pretty sick man, Mr. Matuschek. This isn't just an ordinary breakdown.

- Alright, you're a clerk. Now, go on! Get out of here!

- Thanks, Mr. Matuschek!

- My dear Kralik, I think I speak for all of us when I say heartiest congratulations.

- Phew, what a load off my mind. Now we're all one little happy family again.

- Uh-huh, that's right.
