No, Mr. Kralik, he's was not afraid, I can assure you. He's tactful. He's sensitive. He's not the type of man who would walk up to a table uninvited.

Quote context

[...]

- You see, I wasn't so wrong when I asked you not to sit at my table. This gentleman did come to the cafe. He looked in the window, saw us together and misunderstood.

- Oh, you mean he thought you and I were friends?

- He must have. Listen.

- Tell me and be frank. I think you owe it to me. Who is this very attractive young man? He's just the type women fall for.

- I'm sorry I caused you so much trouble.

- Oh, it's alright. I'll straighten it out. It won't hurt him to be a little jealous.

- He doesn't seem to be much of a man, this friend of yours. I mean, he walks away. He's afraid to come over to the table when another man is sitting there.

- No, Mr. Kralik, he's was not afraid, I can assure you. He's tactful. He's sensitive. He's not the type of man who would walk up to a table uninvited.

- 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.

- Vivacious... Fascinating... I remind him of gypsy music.

- Speaking of gypsy music, we've had a lot of trouble selling those Ochi Tchornya boxes, haven't we?

- Oh, well, that doesn't make any difference.

- Mr. Kralik, you can consider one box definitely sold. Yes. I've just had an inspiration. I'm going to give one of my friend for Christmas.
