my favorite quote from The Shop Around The Corner, with Jimmy as Alfred and Felix Bressart as Pirovitch

Alfred Kralik:

Can you see her?

Pirovitch:

Yes.

Alfred Kralik:

Is she pretty?

Pirovitch:

Very pretty.

Alfred Kralik:

She is?

Pirovitch:

I should say she looks...she has a little of the coloring of Klara.

Alfred Kralik:

Klara? What, Miss Novak of the shop?

Pirovitch:

Now, Kralik, you must admit Klara's a very good-looking girl. Personally, I've always found her a very likeable girl.

Alfred Kralik:

This is a fine time to talk about Miss Novak. Now...

Pirovitch:

If you don't like Miss Novak, I can tell you, you won't like that girl.

Alfred Kralik:

Why?

Pirovitch:

Because it is Miss Novak.
