Quote context

[...]

- I have talked everything over with Mr. Kralik. I know his ideas.

- And I think Miss Novotni and I can manage the novelty window by ourselves.

- Did I ask you for your advice?

- What do you mean Mr. Kralik and you talked things over? Whose shop is this?

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek.

- So you want the evening off, Mr. Kralik? Well, that's alright. I think we can manage without you.

- Mr. Matuschek, this is the first time in years I have asked a favor. If it weren't so very important...

- I've given you your evening. What more do you want? Do you want a brass band to see you off?

- Mr. Matuschek, I think you're being unjust!

- I'm being unjust?

- Once a year, I ask six ladies and gentlemen, six, mind you, when next door a shop twice as big as mine employs only four!

- Oh! Good morning, madam. Is there something I can show you?

- Have you any traveling bags for men with a zipper?

- Oh, yes, madam, we have all types of traveling bags for men with zippers.

- Thank you very much.
