“There might be a lot we don't know about each other. You know, people seldom go to the trouble of scratching the surface of things to find the inner truth.”
“Klara, if I'd only known in the beginning how you felt about me, things would have been different. We wouldn't have been fighting all the time.”
“I really wouldn't care to scratch your surface, Mr. Kralik, because I know exactly what I'd find. Instead of a heart, a hand-bag. Instead of a soul, a suitcase. And instead of an intellect, a cigarette lighter... which doesn't work.”
“- Alfred Kralik: Are you disappointed?
- Klara Novak: Psychologically, I'm very confused... but personally, I don't feel bad at all.”“- Alfred Kralik: You treated me like a dog.
- Klara Novak: Yes, but instead of licking my hand, you barked.”
