- Is this tie alright to wear to work?

- Yeah, quite alright.

- Come on. Tell me, who is the girl?

- Oh, well, you know that girl I was corresponding with?

- Oh, yes, about the cultural subjects.

- Yeah. Well, after a while we got on the subject of love... naturally on a very cultural level.

- Well, what else can you do in a letter?

- She is the most wonderful girl in the world.

- Is she pretty?

- She has such ideals and such a viewpoint on things that she's so far above the girls you meet today, there's no comparison.

- So, she is not so very pretty.

- Oh, no, don't say that.

- Oh, I'm sorry. The main thing is that you like her.

- Yeah, I hope I will.

- What do you mean? You love a girl and you don't know if you like her?

- Well, that's just the question. I haven't met her yet.

- What? You haven't met her yet?

- No.

- I keep postponing it and postponing it. I'm scared.

- You see, this girl thinks I'm the most wonderful person in the world. And after all, there is a chance she might be disappointed.

- Yes, there is a chance.

- On the other hand...

- You might be disappointed, too.

- And I don't dare think about it.

- Did you ever get a bonus?

- Yes, once.

- The boss hands you the envelope, you wonder how much is in it, you don't want to open it. As long as the envelope's closed, you're a millionaire. You keep postponing that moment and you can't postpone it forever.

- I'm meeting her tonight, 8:30 in a cafe.

- A red carnation?

- Yeah. She's using one for a bookmark in a copy of Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. And I'm wearing one in my lapel.

- I haven't slept for days.
