Quote context

[...]

- Well, he struck me as rather depressed, but of course, it's unfair to judge a man when he's out of a job.

- Out of a job! He never told me!

- Why, that shows you how sensitive he is. You have nothing to worry about. No, he feels that both of you can live very nicely on your salary.

- Did you tell him how much I make?

- Well, he's your fiance, and he asked me. I... When I told him what salary you made he was a little worried, but then I promised him that you were gonna get a raise and he felt much better about it.

- And let me tell you, mentioning that bonus didn't do you any harm at all.

- Oh, this is terrible. Why, I'm outraged! I had no idea he was materialistic like this.

- Why, if you could read his letters. Such ideals, such a lofty point of view. I could quote you passages.

- Well, I'm sorry you feel this way about it. I'd hate to think I'm spoiling your Christmas.

- I'd built up such an illusion about him. I thought he was so perfect.

- I had to come along and destroy it, huh?

- That's alright. I guess I really ought to thank you.

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.
