Quote context

- You know, I was planning to wear that awful blouse tonight. I have a date with...

- Tonight?

- Oh, didn't you hear what Mr. Matuschek said? We have to stay here and decorate the windows.

- Oh! I almost forgot.

- Yes.

- Oh.. Uh, would it be possible... Do you think you could spare me tonight? And then maybe Mr. Matuschek would let me off.

- Oh, so that's why I'm a gentleman. And that's why you've learned from me all of a sudden?

- I don't understand, Mr. Kralik.

- You want to get the night off?

- I have to, Mr. Kralik.

- Well, you're out of luck.

- Oh, that was such an obvious trick. I almost fell for it, too.

- Please, Mr. Kralik. I have to get off tonight. It's terribly important.

- You know, for the last six months, you've done everything you could to antagonize me, and now you have nerve enough...

- You haven't been very nice to me either.

- No matter what I do, it's wrong. If I wrap a package, that's not the right way. If I make a suggestion and some of them are very good... You don't even listen.

- Everything has to be done just exactly your way, and then you don't like it.

- When I first came into this shop I was full of life and enthusiasm and now I'm nothing!
