Quote context

[...]

- How much are you selling it for?

- Well, uh, let me see. $4.25.

- That's a bargain! That's a real bargain!

- Good morning, madam. It's a lovely box, isn't it?

- Oh, yes. It's a candy box, isn't it?

- Yes, madam, a candy box and I should say, a very unusual one. May I open it for you?

- Oh, yes, madam. That's Ochi Tchornya. It's a very popular classic.

- Oh, no, that would never do. Where do people get ideas like that? Can you imagine, every time you take a piece of candy you have to listen to that song?

- No, I couldn't buy a thing like that. It's really too silly. No.

- I know just what you mean, madam. And yet, do you know that some of our customers like it for the very thing you object to. We've sold quite a few especially to ladies.

- There's no denying that we all have a weakness for candy. And when I say weakness I don't mean to say anything against candy. Oh, no. I only mean that sometimes we are inclined to overdo it a little.

- I suppose so.

- For instance, madam, have you any idea how many pieces of candy you eat a day?

- No, I never gave it a thought.

- That's just it.

- We pick up a piece of candy absent-mindedly, then we take another piece. Before we know it, we've gained a couple of pounds.

- And that's when our troubles begin. Massages, electric cabinets.

- Oh, don't I know it.

- Now, this little box makes you candy-conscious. That's what Matuschek and Company designed it for.

Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.

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.
