Pirovitch
- Alfred Kralik: [asking Pirovitch about cost of living for married couple] Suppose a fellow gets an apartment with three rooms. Dining room, bedroom, living room.
- Pirovitch: What do you need three rooms for? You live in the bedroom.
- Alfred Kralik: Where do you eat?
- Pirovitch: In the kitchen. You get a nice big kitchen.
- Alfred Kralik: Where do you entertain?
- Pirovitch: Entertain? What are you, an embassador? Who do you want to entertain? Listen listen, if someone is really your friend, he comes after dinner.
- Alfred Kralik: Pirovitch, did you ever get a bonus?
- Pirovitch: Yes, once.
- Alfred Kralik: Yeah. The boss hands you the envelope. You wonder how much is in it, and you don't want to open it. As long as the envelope's closed, you're a millionaire.
- Alfred Kralik: Can you see her?
- Pirovitch: Yes.
- Alfred Kralik: Is she pretty?
- Pirovitch: Very pretty.
- Alfred Kralik: She is, huh?
- Pirovitch: I should say, she looks... she has a little of the coloring of Klara.
- Alfred Kralik: Klara, Miss Novak of the shop?
- Pirovitch: Now, Kralik, you must admit Klara is a very good looking girl, and personally I've always found her a very likable girl.
- Alfred Kralik: Well this is a fine time to talk about Miss Novak.
- Pirovitch: Well, if you don't like Miss Novak, I can tell you right now you won't like that girl.
- Alfred Kralik: Why?
- Pirovitch: Because it is Miss Novak.
- Pirovitch: [spying through the café window] There is a cup of coffee on the table. She's taking a piece of cake. Kralik, she's dunking!
- Alfred Kralik: Well, after a while we got on the subject of love. Naturally on a very cultural level.
- Pirovitch: Well, what else can you do in a letter?
- Pirovitch: Kralik, you're not going?
- Alfred Kralik: No, I couldn't face her tonight. See, this morning I had a position, a future. No, no. I'm afraid I sort of exaggerated in my letters. I showed off a little. She's expecting to meet a pretty important man. Well, I'm in no mood to act important tonight.
