"Sorry for the trouble, sir." "Zoli!" "Zoli!" "Give my passport back to me, because I will have to go back to California!" "Are you laughing?" "I'm so angry, I don't known what I'll do to you... if you don't give it back immediately!" "You should be glad you got away with it so cheap." "If I hadn't been persuaded that you have been sort of feeble-minded all your life, then..." "Watch out, or I'll hit you!" "Come on, hit me if you dare!" "If I remember well I've always been stronger!" "Give my passport back to me!" "I won't." "I have a right to it." "You fled and didn't get a passport because you live in the States." "I took care of our poor mother, but you were the good child because you wrote such nice poems to her!" ""Slaving in California I send you my heart." "It will be yours, Mama, till death do us apart!"" "You sneer at my most sacred feelings!" "Your feelings!"

"You may rest assured that if I had stayed I would've made a career all the same!" "Good." "Then you'll stay home, go to the factory for me and do my job there." "I won't." "No?" "If you don't behave like a clever boy should," "I'll go on stamping with your Tourist Club stamp until you don't have one cent left in the bank." "All right." "All right." "I'll go to the factory but I'll make such a nuisance of myself with your bosses that they'll sack youin no time!" "Really?" "Then I'll drive back West as Mr. Hello and join the Communist Party!" "What?" "Do you want to flee?" "This is madness!" "Why is it madness?" "It worked quite well with you!" "Zoli!" "Don't go!" "You can't do that to your own brother!" "I'll write from Vienna!"

"Hello." "You said you had to stay in Budapest till the end of the month." "What happened, Sandor?" "Nothing at all, I just wanted to see you you can't imagine how I missed you..." "Oh, don't get started..." "Now tell me..." "Any good business transactions in sight?" "At last!" "I've been waiting for you for such a long time!" "Leave me alone, you've given me enough trouble." "Tell me my address, at least!" " Zoli, don't be rude!" " And you don't be too kind!" "Now I know you are a much better man than that conceited twin brother of yours!" "Now you think you're flattering me..." "You're right." "Scold me, I deserve it." "Even though I love only you." " Stop that, please..." " Don't you believe me?" "Come on!" "Thanks for the lovely evening, sir." "It hasn't ended yet, Madam." "If I remember well... the last time you took me out was on your honeymoon." "Just like your husband..." "You were sweet!" "I had no idea you could be so amusing!" "So you see!" "I still have things up my sleeve." "Yet I resigned myself to your running around and to spending my whole life in boredom as your wife." "However, you seem to have looked for a little fun for yourself, too..." "I bet that black youth, my friend, is more your friend than mine..." "Are you jealous of one your best business partners?" "What if I were?" "What if I knocked off that sleek, glossy head of his?" "How strange..." "You're looking at me now as if you saw me for the first time." "Believe me..." "you are lovelier... sweeter... much more intriguing than all the women in the world all together!" "Sandor, darling, don't be son impatient..." "Wait..." "I'll be back..." "You mean, dirty scoundrel!" "You, you tramp!" "Your own brother's own wife Helen, Helen, don't... please, don't..." "I'll explain it all to you..." "I'll tell you everything..." "You'll be surprised..." "Try to understand, I am not identical with..." "It would be a tragedy if I should now... if I..." "let's sit down and talk it over Helen, please," "I beg you, Helen, Helen, don't, don't..." "You wretch!" "You haven't been home for weeks and I should beseech you now?" "Will you or won't you come out?" "Calm down, Helen, here take a pill..." "You know that I'm a long-suffering person but once I've made up my mind..." "Come down!" " Come down!" " I won't!" "This would have been the last the very last chance to patch up our marriage..." "That's different!" "Then I'll come!" "Why are they shooting all the time?" "In Comrade Tokawubu's honour." "A cognac?" "No... do you want me to get completely drunk?" "No..." "I want you to be completely mine." "Blondy how strange... you've become much more manlike, more resolute..." "Do you mind?" "No!" "I prefer you that way..." "Let go of me..." "I suddenly feel so hot..." "Then it's hight time for you to take off your clothes..." "Come on." "It's stupid of me..." "but leave me while I undress..." "All right but you shouldn't deprive me of such a lovely sight..." "Look at that silly man!" "Mother, look why is he in the shop window without his pants on?" "...Without his pants?" "Why, he's got drawers on!" "...Pity he shut the blinds, it was great fun..." "Come on, come away." "Incredible..." "Darling, you haven't been to Dr. Barnard by any chance?" "Come now!" "He only transplants hearts at the moment." "Then, perhaps, the pretty Budapest girls have such a marvellous effect on you!" "Budapest girls God!" "Blondy!" "Alexander..." "Alexander!" "Enquire at the hotel!" "The whole management is to gather there!" "Take this away!" "As soon as the foreign chappie arrives, report!" "Clean the lavatories!" "Mr. Alexander, hello, stop representative of our firm stop arriving tomorrow morning, stop Californeximport..." "I'm Eve... and efficient..." "Oh, sorry, I beg your pardon..." "I just wanted my attaché-case..." "She's your interpreter, Mr. Hello..." "Awfully kind of you, but I haven't forgotten my Hungarian..." "Eve doesn't speak foreign languages, anyway..." "Just you wait, you blackguard..." "Now, I'll have you sacked!" "Aren't we late?" "Aren't we late?" "We are, what do you say!" "And tomorrow we won't come in at all." "Roll over a bit..." "My report about the output must be here somewhere..." "Here it is!" "Relax..." "Just you wait!" "Whoops!" "Sorry!" "I did it on purpose!" "Go on, go on..." "I was afraid we wouldn't use up our wastage allowance for this quarter..." "I demand that the damages be charged against my wages!" "Don't play with me, I demand to be sacked on the spot."

"...Go and find Hollo, get the box, prepare the technical documentation!" "Fancy, such an enormous bargain quite unexpectedly!" "And just at the end of the quarter!" "I told you it was a brilliant invention." "A problem... but leave it to us we'll solve it, dear Comrade Manager... we'll solve it." "Now, now... no... no..." "By this... do you mean to say that That we shouldn't go in for a childish idea of a lunatic?" "Who, as we know, has just been taken to the loony-bin?" "On the contrary!" "...Our dear Manager thinks that that we, I mean the Labikex, should take up the manufacturing of that wonderful apparatus..." " I told you that it meant to be a brilliant invention..." " It is." "It must be brilliant or why would anybody want to buy it with his own dollar-scrapings?" "Sandor, Sandor, don't rave." "Go away, at once." "Here is... here is your Californian citizenship..." "Here are your things." "Well, what a place, no clothes-racks?" "Come on, go, go..." "The Management may be here in no time..." "Get a move on..." "Get a move on..." "Can't you see I'm tied up?" "Help me." "My passport?" "Fine." "All right." "Don't go into raptures now." "They may be here any minute, take off your pyjamas..." " Hemering?" "Hemering?" " Me?" "Now, now, now, little one." "You don't want to get away from the good old doctor?" "I couldn't get away, I'm not here at all..." "I am just visiting... him..." " Him?" " Yes." " Him, of course, him..." "Leave me alone, there's some fatal misunderstanding..." "All right, all right." "You're visiting Sandor..." "Here are you taking me?" "Sandor, where are you?" "Sandor, Sandor!" "I swear he was here a moment ago!" "...then he got teeny-weeny... and he ran into the rat-hole..." "What happened to Zoli?" "Where did they take him?" "Under the shower, I think." "Poor thing, he doesn't know he is over... the crisis..." "What's wrong, darling?" "Nothing." "I only got an injection." "Are you well?" "Dininely." "Bad boy." "To behave like this..." "after such a wonderful night..." "Why, what's happened?" "I was yours." "Were you?" "Help, help!" "Hello, dear..." "Helen... you here?" "Come on... come to me... and kiss me!" "Helen... what's the matter?" "When I woke up this morning I missed you terribly..." "So I rushed to the airport..." "You were wonderful last night, darling..." "Ardent and impatient!" "And if it had been our first embrace..." "Oh, don't exaggerate What?" "Alexander!" "Alexander!" "No!" "We won't sell the Ultracleanex!" "We're already working on the technical documentation." "We'll submit it within the shortest time to the Patent Office." "We'll have the specimen made in the most tasteful finish..." "We're exceedingly pleased to support the invention of such a humble workman..." "Thank you!" "Thank You indeed!" "...And, please..." "when will production begin?" "After testing." "Of planning and pondering..." "A matter of few years..." "Look before you leap." "The main thing for the moment is that we didn't let that great invention fall into the lap of Capitalism!" "Don't you think we ought to talk?" "Why, after all, if we look at it this way, nothing happened." "Well, if we look at it that way, then..." "The question is if we really look at this way?" "Why, could we look at it in any other way?" "We could... but I believe, we'd better look at it this way..." "Listen, take out your wife sometimes to dinner..." "Thanks..." "And you be a man at last!" " Thanks... but you could've left that to me..." " Come on!" "We're ready, boys!" "Well, you've still time to change with me..." "Sorry, old man, I wouldn't dare... in the long run." "Excuse me, I'll just have a peep into it..." "Margaret Island." "Fine hotels we have, don't we?" "Yes, wonderful!" "You were at Lake Balaton, too, I see." "It has become quite a little Riviera lately." "Yes, quite a little Riviera." "And the striptease bars?" "Quite the European Standard." "Yes." "Awfully European." "I hope you'll visit home again." "No sir, we never left home..." "But, please treat us, too, as if we were home visiting as if we were home visiting as if we were home visiting as if we were home visiting..."
