Quote context

[...]

- 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.

- Oh, Miss Novak, now, you're taking an awful chance.

- Oh, yes. Why don't you give him a wallet? Oh, I'm sure he'd be crazy about it. Any man would be. A wallet is a very practical thing. And besides, we have those new imported pig skins.

- Oh, no, no, I'm not interested.

- I'd make you a special price.

- No, I'm sorry.

- You know, besides being a very practical thing, a wallet is quite romantic. You see, on one side, he has your last letter on the other side, a picture of you. And when he opens it, there you are. And that's all the music he wants.

- Why, Mr. Kralik, you surprise me. That's very well-expressed. Yes, I must admit, that's very nice.

- No, just the same, I'm gonna give him a cigarette box.

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.
