[ARPAD]
Good morning
 
[SIPOS]
Good day
 
[ARPAD]
How are you this beautiful day? Isn't this a beautiful morning?
 
[SIPOS]
Very
 
[ARPAD]
Hey, Sipos, how's this?
 
[SIPOS]
That's an awfully elegant pose. But is all that elegance necessary?
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
And why not? I represent Maraczek's, don't I? We're not a butcher shop or a hardware store. We're a parfumerie. And that means we're... we're...
 
[SIPOS]
We're stylish
 
[ARPAD]
That's it!
 
[SIPOS]
With a quiet dignity
 
[ARPAD]
Yes! And we get the tilt of our hats right
 
[SIPOS]
That's right
 
[ARPAD]
When I ride my bike, people see what Maraczek's like. So I think it's very important that I look my best
 
[SIPOS, spoken]
And, uh, how many people have you run over today?
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
Not one
 
[SIPOS, spoken]
Well, it's early
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
Here comes Miss Ritter
 
[SIPOS]
Ah
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
She spent the night with Mr. Kodaly
 
[SIPOS, spoken]
Again?
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
They always kiss goodbye at the newsstand. Then, she walks around the block to make us think she's been home
 
[ILONA]
Good morning
 
[ARPAD & SIPOS]
Good day
 
[ILONA]
How are you this glorious day? Have you seen a lovelier morning?
 
[ARPAD & SIPOS]
Never
 
[ILONA]
It's too nice a day, to be inside shuffling soap. I have no more energy whatsoever
(spoken)
Anybody mind if I take the day off? Arpad, why aren't you old enough to take me away from all this?
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
I'm old enough
 
[ILONA, spoken]
Well, then marry me, and I'll quit my job. No... I'm afraid you're not really quite old enough
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
It won't be long, though. I'm catching up. You know, Miss Horvath always used to say I'd get to be 35 before you ever did
 
[SIPOS, spoken]
Ah, Mr. Kodaly
 
[KODALY]
Good morning
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA]
Good day
 
[KODALY]
How are you this radiant day? What a rare, magnificent morning
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & ILONA]
Is it?
 
[KODALY]
Good morning, my dear. How are you this ravishing day? Do you know you've never looked more exquisite?
 
[ILONA]
Thank you, kind sir
 
[KODALY, spoken]
What a lovely dress
 
[ARPAD, spoken]
Same one she had on yesterday, Mr. Kodaly
 
[SIPOS, spoken]
Well, if it isn't Mr. Nowack
 
[GEORG]
Good morning
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS, ILONA & KODALY]
Good day
 
[GEORG]
Isn't that a beautiful sky?
What a perfect sample of summer weather
It's too nice a day, to be indoors counting out change
What a waste of holiday weather, all together
Let's all run away
 
[ILONA]
Wouldn't it be something if we all took off from work?
 
[SIPOS]
Leaving Mr. Maraczek without a single clerk?
 
[ARPAD]
Why not have a picnic?
 
[SIPOS]
I could bring my wife's preserves
 
[KODALY]
Champagne might be nice with hot hors d'oeuvres
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
It's too nice a day
[ILONA & KODALY]
It's too nice a day
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
To be stuck inside of a store

[ILONA & KODALY]
To be stuck inside of a store
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
We could all be getting a...

[ILONA & KODALY]
We could all be getting a...
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
Suntan

[ILONA & KODALY]
Suntan
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
It's so nice a day

[ILONA & KODALY]
It's so nice a day
 
[ARPAD, SIPOS & GEORG]
To be dozing under a tree
[ILONA & KODALY]
To be dozing under a tree
 
[SIPOS]
Then we'll all be out of a job
 
[ILONA]
If it costs that much to get suntanned
 
[SIPOS]
I'll stay untanned
 
[KODALY]
Pale, but solvent
 
[ARPAD]
A picnic...
 
[ALL]
A picnic... Ah... oh, well
