- Well, you'd better hurry home, son. You're probably celebrating Christmas with your mother and father. Am I wrong?

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek.

- See that girl over there on the corner?

- Yeah.

- Well, I'm her Santa Claus.

- Goodnight, Mr. Matuschek.

- Goodnight.

- Mr. Matuschek, I don't know how to thank you for that marvelous present. After all, I'm only working here a short time.

- Oh, that's alright.

- What was your name?

- Rudy.

- Rudy. How old are you, Rudy?

- Seventeen.

- Seventeen. That's a wonderful age. You've got your whole life ahead of you. But it's up to you what you make of it.

- Yes, sir.

- Yeah. Well, now, you better not squander that money. You take it home and give it to your mother, huh?

- My people don't live here in town, Mr. Matuschek.

- Is that so? Have you no other relations here?

- No, Mr. Matuschek.

- You mean you're all alone in Budapest on Christmas Eve?

- That's right.

- Rudy! Do you like chicken noodle soup?

- I certainly do, Mr. Matuschek.

- Yeah, and what would you think of roast goose stuffed with baked apples? And fresh boiled potatoes and butter and some red cabbage on the side, huh?

- I'd love it!

- Yeah? And then cucumber salad with sour cream?

- Oh, Mr. Matuschek!

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.

- Seventeen. That's a wonderful age. You've got your whole life ahead of you. But it's up to you what you make of it.
- Yes, sir.
