Well, that's all very nice, but I think the biggest Christmas present we could give him tonight is an empty bare-looking shop with nothing in it except money in the cash register.

Quote context

[...]

- Well, I guess there isn't much more I can say. Except that I wish you a Merry Christmas. Both of you.

- Oh, thank you, Mr. Kralik.

- Goodnight, Miss Novak.

- Goodnight, Mr. Kralik.

- Yes, Mr. Katona?

- Do you know what time it is?

- A few minutes after 8:00.

- And you're still here?

- Well, I was just...

- Don't contradict me, just listen!

- Yes, Mr. Katona.

- You have to be faster, especially on a day like this. It's Christmas Eve, young man. Am I asking too much?

- No, Mr. Katona.

- Folks, I have great news for ya. I just talked to the hospital, and Mr. Matuschek is much better.

- Oh! That's wonderful! Well, can we visit him?

- Oh, let's all get together and buy him a nice Christmas present.

- I have a suggestion, let's get him a cute little Christmas tree for his hospital room.

- Well, that's all very nice, but I think the biggest Christmas present we could give him tonight is an empty bare-looking shop with nothing in it except money in the cash register.

- Now, now, come on, folks! Let's make this the biggest Christmas Eve in the history of Matuschek and Company.

- Where's Klara? Klara! Klara! Miss Novak!

- Coming! Coming! Yes, Mr. Kralik, what is it?

- How are you today?

- Fine. Good. Now, we're expecting a terrific business today. And it's going to be tough. But don't overdo it.

- Now, Miss Novak, I wonder if I could ask a little favor of you?

- With pleasure, Mr. Pirovitch.

- I wanted to buy one of those Ochi Tchornya boxes, but Kralik tells me you took the only one that really works.

- That's right. I bought it for my boyfriend.

Top rated lines from this movie

Well, True love is to be two, and yet one.-A man and a woman blended as angels. Heaven itself. That's Victor Hugo. He stole that.

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.
