Hugo Matuschek Quotes in The Shop Around the Corner (1940)

Hugo Matuschek: [after Miss Novak sells one of the musical cigarette boxes] Well, Mr. Kralik, what do you think now?

Alfred Kralik: I think people who like to smoke candy and listen to cigarettes will love it.

[Alfred Kralik has just been called into his supervisor's office]

Alfred Kralik: Yes, Mr. Matuschek

Hugo Matuschek: Eh, close the door. Kralik, why did you put me in that situation, in front of the whole shop?

Alfred Kralik: Well, I'm very sorry, sir... but it was not my fault.

Hugo Matuschek: Well whose fault was it? Mine?

Alfred Kralik: Well... yes.
