- Do you like this box?

- Oh, yes, I do. I think it's lovely.

- Yeah. Why?

- Why?

- Yeah.

- 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.

- There's the woman's point of view.

- Yes, Mr. Matuschek.

- Mr. Matuschek.

- Yes, Miss...

- Novak.

- How much are you selling it for?

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

- $4.25?

- Yes, $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.

- Really?

- Yes, madam.

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.
