It was presented to the Chief Executive...

... for further consideration...

The Chief Executive has not arranged it yet!

I am connecting you to the Chief Executive!

The Chief Executive is busy at the moment.

I am connecting you to the Chief Executive's secretary!

Hallo!

I am sorry, but the Chief Executive is holding an important conference now.

Unfortunately I have no time for this now.

Please accept it!

"Are you going on a holiday alone?" "Yes, alone."

On a well-deserved, decent and serious holiday.

Can't we spend at least the last evening together?

Unfortunately not. I will be packing soon, and will depart at dawn.

"God be with you, my darling!" "So it is all over, then?"

Come on! We will soon see each other, for sure!

I wish you everything good, my darling! Try to find some consolation, please!

What a pity! It was so nice!

Give me at least a tiny piece of something to remember!

I have already took care of that...

Here you are!

Wow! How generous! I will hang it on the wall!

Very good, well then, God be with you, my darling!

JANOS SZUTS CHIEF EXECUTIVE

Gentlemen, please!

"How are you, Miss Annuska!" "Halmos! Are you here again?"

I beg your pardon, but this time I came to see the Chief Executive!

Really? And what do you want from the Chief?

We need a new girl to be employed at the department!

Discuss it with the Personnel Director!

Or you really wish to disturb the Chief over a petty matter like that?

I didn't say anything about disturbing the Chief!

I just wanted to see you, Miss Annuska!

There we go again? Halmos!

I beg your pardon, would you have a moment for me?

Have you thought about what I told you yesterday, Miss Anna?

"Why, what did you say yesterday?" "The same things I mentioned two weeks ago as well..."

"And what did you mention two weeks ago then?"

Come on, who could remember that still? Wait, let me think!

Oh, yes!

I asked you to marry me!

"Is that what you asked?" "Yes."

"And what did I answer to you?" "Wait! What did you answer? Because you must have said something, for sure!"

"What did you answer?" "I said that you had gone mad!"

Sure, you said that I had gone mad. Yes, that's exactly what you said.

Look, Miss Anna!

Let us talk openly about matters of the heart!

You have a fixed monthly income of 800 pengo.

I also have, I mean, with everything included...

... something like 320 a month...

Added together ... 800 plus 320... is...

1120.

Can you imagine the kind of luxuries I could grant you from this much money?

We might not even need to spend my wages.

That I could put away in savings, for my old days...

I mean, for your old days...

Look, dear Halmos! Don't you worry about neither my old, nor my younger days, please!

Well, unfortunately I have already missed your younger days...

Really? And you just say that to my face, like that?

"I say that behind your back, too." "That's a bit different!"

I think, Mr. Halmos, that the people on your department must be missing you by now!

All right! I am leaving.

But I know, why don't you want to marry me! You love somebody else!

And I even know whom!

Me...

Me, myself, gentlemen, is solely interested...

... in the bank's smooth routine while I am away on my holiday.

Well, then, God be with you all, gentlemen!

Hallo! It is woman called Lonczi.

Tell her that I am on my holiday and that I have already left.

Hallo! The Chief Executive is on a holiday. He has already left.

"Have a good vacation! See you soon!" "Thank you! God bless you!"

At your service, Chief Executive!

At your service!

At your service!

"Well, then, God bless you, Ms. Anna!" "Are you really going away on a holiday, my dear Chief Executive?"

Yes, I am. And for a whole month!

And while away, I don't want to know about anything in connection with money, banks or business!

"So, we won't see the Chief Executive for a whole month, now?" "Of course, you will! I'll send you a postcard!"

"God bless you!" "Have a good day, a good trip and a pleasant holiday, Chief Executive!"

"At your service, Chief Executive!" "What is it, Mr. Halmos? Are you looking for me? Do you want to say something?"

I only want to tell the Chief Executive ...

"... that I am in a desperate need of a new woman!" "What?"

"I mean a new woman on the department!" "I see. You should hire one, then!"

"Hire one. God be with you, Good bye!" "God be with you, too! At your service!"

I have gone away. Don't take it too hard. I loved you. - Janos.

His Honour is away.

Hallo.

His Honour is away.

"You just stay at the phone, please!" "I know..."

"There are three more calls to be expected!" "That's right!"

Hallo.

Immediately!

It is his Honour, Mr. Peterffy on the line!

Finally, a man!

Hallo! How are you, my friend, I was just about to call you because...

... because your car has just arrived my dear Janos!

It looks like God had especially created it for you, personally!

It is equipped with everything, my friend! Seven lights!

Horns with four different melodies!

"It is like a dream come true!" "I am not interested in dreams, now!"

I would like to talk to you about another, very serious matter!

Yes. Just come here, please!

All right. Then I will just come with you after.

Good. I will be waiting for you. Bye.

These silk-wares are not needed.

Some simple suits will do just fine. Understood?

What is your name?

Vera Kovacs.

"Are you the friend of Sarika?" "Yes."

Well, as it looks, from this moment on, you are newly employed at the central bank.

"Yes, Sir." "Obviously this employment requires important professional skills."

"Yes, Sir."

"Can you type?" "Of course!"

"Are you good at it?" "Yes!"

Only because that is not important for this job at all.

"But can you speak German?" "Of course!"

Fluently? Doesn't really matter! That's not needed either!

We need something entirely different here! Would you just turn around, please!

Yes.

Well, I can see that you fulfil the expectations.

"You have got the job, Miss!" "Thank you!"

What happened to you my dear Janos?

"What's the story about this 'giving- up-on-love' - thing?" "No story. I am going on a holiday!"

"Of course! To the Riviera!" "Nah!"

Somewhere up, to the north. I had enough of the warm climate!

"Well, what happened to you? Got hurt?" "I am telling you, nothing!"

Somehow I just realized that this lazy lifestyle doesn't fit Chief Executive Szucs.

Come on! This is the secret of your career!

Correct and genuinely original at work, but otherwise just a loveable scoundrel.

"That's why women love you!" "And because of my money, my position and wealth!"

You know, when you are getting close to 40, you start thinking about things like that, too.

Well, that's the story, my friend.

Well, now, Miss. I am going to entrust you with a very important and responsible project.

Go ahead, please!

"What schools have you finished?" "Gymnasium and Commercial Academy."

"Did you pass your school-leaving exams?" "Of course, please!"

"You must know how to use a stamp, then!" "What do you mean?"

A stamp! Wait, I am gonna quickly show you, now!

It is not as easy as it seems! Look! These are the shares!

Here is the stamp, you grab it gently, press it onto the ink-pad...

Don't brush it, just gently press it! Like that!

Then bang it here, just under the signature of the Chief Executive!

Like that! Now, you try it!

Bang here! Bang there!

Bang here! Bang there! You see? Very good!

Now, I am gonna teach you how to be economic with the ink.

Look closely!

One bang on the ink! One bang on the share!

One breath on the stamp! One bang on the share!

One bang on the ink! One bang on the share!

One breath on the stamp! One bang on the share!

"This is my invention! Good, he?" "Very."

Now, it's your turn! Okay? Concentrate!

One bang on the ink! One bang on the share! One breath on the stamp!

Come on, Miss! Don't just sigh, but breathe!

Just look at me! I will show you!

One there! One here!

One here! One there!

One there! One here!

The training is over, you can go home now, Miss!

Tomorrow morning, exactly at 8 am.

Look! It is beautiful!

You, Sari! I am so happy now!

Office worker, with 80 a month, and all this is thanks to you!

You fool! You owe thanks to no one but yourself!

Hey, I might just as well go in, now, since I have a steady income, right?

Are you crazy? Don't start it again!

My dear Sari! Let's just have a little bit of fun!

Just to try on a necklace, and then leave. Come on, please!

"You will see, this won't have a happy ending!" "Sari! Just for this one time only!"

I only want to know how it feels! Come on, please!

"Beautiful! Beautiful!" "Well, as I said, it is like a dream!"

7 light beams! 12 cylinders!

160 km/h speed, in-built radio, for 20.000 pengo only!

"But that is very expensive!" "Come on! For you that's nothing!"

Women fall for a car like that, like night-flies into the fire!

True, but the night-flies..

What a beautiful colour it has!

This is a real-life Fairy Tale Auto!

Wish I could sit in it at least for once!

Vera, don't tell me you want to go in here as well now!

"My dear Sari! I just want to try it!" "For Heaven's sake!"

"My heart still races because of the last shop!" "And nothing happened there either!"

I only want to bargain on this beautiful car!

Just like the rich people do!

But that's is not right! We will be thrown out! They are gonna put us in jail!

I just have to sit into that car at least for a moment! Come on!

No. If you want to go in, go alone! I won't even stay on this side of the road!

I am gonna laugh from the other side when they will throw you out!

"How do you do?" "Have a good day!"

"How can I be of any service?" "I am interested in this car!"

Just have a look at it, please!

Although this one is already sold, I am afraid. But we can always place another order for it!

"Nice piece of work. How much is it?" "20.000 pengo."

"20.000 pengo? That's impossible!"

"Why do you think so?" "Because I have just seen the very same model on the other day..."

"In Vienna... Yes, in Vienna for 10.000."

"This very same model?" "Yes!" "That must have been a mistake!"

"Here you are, please. The papers." "Thank you very much!"

"So you are gonna travel with this car!" "Exactly!"

And to the north. Without a woman.

My friend! You still don't believe me?

I want to start a new life, and I am not interested in fooling around with women anymore.

Hey, look!

Look at that sweet young girl! And she is bargaining for my car!

"Well, but fortunately you are not interested in women anymore, right?" "Of course not!"

"What is the young lady interested in?" "She wants to buy the car of the Chief Executive for 10.000!"

"Why do you even bother? That car is already sold!" "So what?"

It is my car. But I can always sell it to her, right?

Just trust this one on me!

Is the Miss interested in buying this car?

Yes, but for this price unfortunately it is out of the question!

You don't even know the car yet! Please come and have a closer look!

"Would you like to see the engine?" "Of course! Especially the engine!"

Just look at this workmanship!

12 cylinders!

All cylinders are made out of Thur-aluminium!

Obviously it handles beautifully... Perfectly smooth suspension!

"What is that?" "Which one, please?"

"This one here!" "Which one?" "This one!"

"This one is the steering wheel, please." "Of course!"

That's what I thought, too, if I may add...

"... Because I have been driving myself, for quite some time now." "Of course! Obviously! I can see that!"

Feel free to have a closer look! Just have a seat!

"May I?" "Oh, of course! Please!"

Everything for the customer!

"And it can go wherever I want?" "Of course..."

"To the east, west, south, or north. Wherever you wish!"

"To the north, too?" "Of course, please! Especially to the north!"

"And where is the horn?" "What horn? Horns!"

Horns, please, horns! There are four of them, you know!

This one is the Lohengrin!

While this one plays the melody of the "I would carry you on my palm"!

And if you would be bored of all this here is an 8 lamp in-built radio!

Just one button and you are already tuned to London, New York or Paris.

"Which button would you like me to push?" "Whichever you just want!"

Oh, my God, how sweet! A musical car!

"Such a soft voice feels like caressing!" "That's right..."

... just like caressing...

"I was talking about the radio!" "Me, too, my lady!"

"Only a Miss!" "Miss."

"Are you the director here?" "Oh, no! I am just an employee, a sort of car-dealer!"

"Interesting. I was almost certain that you are the director!"

"Why did you think that?" "I don't know. You just look like one!"

Oh, no. Wish I were a director!

"You can still become one!" "Me? I hardly believe that. Not anymore."

But may I ask for how much would the young Miss be willing to buy the car?

For 10.000.

Well, Miss. The car is yours then! Do you want me to wrap it up?

"For 10.000?" "For 10.000."

"Is it too expensive, you think? 8000 then!" "No, but... It's not that..."

"How about 7000?"

"I can't do it without my husband..." "But Miss, please! For 5000 then!"

"No, no!" "Miss!"

1000.

Jozsi!

"How can I help you, Sir?" "Do you see those two young ladies over there?"

"The one in the dress with dots...?" "Yes, yes! Jump in the car, and follow them!"

And find out the name and address of the one in the dress with dots! Understood?

"Yes, Sir!" "I will be waiting for you here!" "As you wish!"

Janos!

What, my dear Tamas?

"I don't know, but this young girl..." "You like her."

Maybe it is not even because of her beauty, but that frightened little face of hers when she got scared!

"That angelic stare of her eyes!" "She definitely looks Nordic by type!"

Don't mock me, please! She probably didn't have not even a dime in her purse but still she walked in here, like a little hero.

Only to touch this car.

"You..." "... you are not going to travel anywhere."

"At least not for the moment." "All right. To what address do you want the car to be sent then?"

Where?

Vera Kovacs 5 Hadnagy Street

Delivery

"I am looking for Miss Vera Kovacs." "Come in, please!"

"Cheers!" "Excuse me!"

"Somebody is looking for you." "I am coming."

"Miss Vera Kovacs?" "Yes, that's me."

The car has just been delivered. May I have your signature, please?

What car are you talking about?

The 12 cylinder Cabriolet that you have bought the other day!

"Wow, Vera bought a car!" "Shut your mouth!"

"Did you buy a car?" "Me? How can you think that?"

"This must be some mistake, please!" "No mistakes here, at all!"

Vera Kovacs, 5 Hadnagy Street. All I need is a signature here, please!

But please, I don't even know what kind of car are we talking about!

Why don't you have a look at it from the window then? It is right outside!

The Fairy Tale Auto!

"You know it?" "Yes, but..."

But all I wanted to do is to have a look at it!

I just wanted to sit inside for a while!

But I didn't buy this car, please! This must be some sort of a mistake!

No mistakes here, the car is already fully paid. Just sign it here please and we are done!

"You are not going to sign anything!" "Of course she will! Just let me deal with this..."

"May I?" "Of course."

All right!

The car... is fully... paid.

All rights... reserved...

Come here!

Nice and tidy, you just sign it here!

Very good! That's it! Yes!

"Here you are." "Thank you, and the delivery note stays with you."

There you go. Have a good time!

"Have a good day!" "Wait a bit, please!"

"Don't you want a cup of coffee?" "No, thank you, I don't drink coffee."

Have a good day!

What does all this mean?

"Mama, honestly I don't know..." "Don't mumble to me!"

"Who sent you this car?" "I swear, I have no idea! I..."

"Why did you walk into that auto-saloon then?" "I just walked in for no reason."

I just wanted to have a closer look, to sit inside for a minute, but...

"Don't lie to me!" "Mama!"

"Don't yell on me!" "My daughter doesn't lie!"

If she says this is what had happened than that's what had happened.

Why don't you bring in the fuel we use to clean the stamps with!

"We are going down to test it!" "We are not gonna test anything!"

"Don't you think that car could have been sent to your daughter by some man, too?" "So what?"

After our first date didn't I send you ...

... a nice photograph of me in a frame?

Photograph, yes! But not a car!

"But mummy! Believe me, this can only be a mistake!" "A mistake?"

All right! We will soon find out. Where is that saloon?

Director? A lady called Mrs. Kovacs is here. She is the mother of Miss Vera Kovacs.

The lady would like to know who sent the car to her daughter.

The lady is really upset.

Go to the storage, please! I will deal with the lady personally.

Well, my friend! What about your nice little plan now?

I didn't expect this to happen.

My dear Tamas! You must come up with something! They mustn't find out that it was me who sent the car!

To come up with something! That's easy to say! But with what?

"Wouldn't it be wiser if you would travel to the north after all?" "Come on, old man!"

All right. Wait!

How do you do? I am Tamas Peterffy, the director of this auto saloon.

"Pleased to meet you. My daughter..." "Miss Vera Kiss, am I right?"

"Yes." "My manager has already told me everything."

"All I can say is congratulations, Mrs!" "Don't you congratulate to me now!"

Rather just tell me how did my daughter got this auto-mobile!

"Due to the unpredictable nature of luck, my lady..." "What does that mean?"

Your daughter was our 10.000th customer.

"I don't understand anything. What was she?" "Our 10.000th customer."

And at the foundation of our company we decided that we would give a very nice car to our 10.000th customer.

Therefore your daughter got this car from us, as a gift.

"So she was the 10.000th?" "Exactly."

"And all this is true?" "May I not see you, my lady ever again if all this is not true."

Oh, that's different. So she is the 10.000th! Thanks, thank you very much for calming me down!

"Have a nice day!" "At your service!"

In a Fairy-Tale-Car driving along silver coloured forests...

... we are flying through the spring of our hearts...

On the sparkling diamond-dust of the golden highway...

... we are flying in a car of fairy tales.

Up from the Heavens angels are guarding us now...

... and Fate might be the one who drives in our car.

Only happiness waits for us from now on...

... in this enchanting car of fairy-tales!

This might be a dream, and after all this happiness is gone...

... I might just sadly wake up to reality tomorrow!

I don't want to wake up just yet! Oh! I am begging you, My Lord!

Let me dream on this wonderful great miracle!

In a Fairy-Tale-Car driving along silver coloured forests...

"This friend of yours is having a good start!" "Don't be mad at her! She lives far away, on the Third Street!"

So what? I live on the Hundredth Street and still I am here every morning exactly at 8 am!

I can't predict a great future to her in banking for sure!

Ah! I can't even look at this!

"Forgive me, Mr. Manager!" "Why should I forgive you?" "For being a couple of minutes late!"

Look at the clock, Mrs! It is not even 8 o'clock! There is no point in asking for forgiveness for coming in too early!

"Is that understood?" "Yes, Mr. Manager!"

Well, then!

"Hi." "Hi."

Sari!

Do you remember that beautiful car in the saloon from yesterday?

"Why? Did anything went wrong?" "Well, that car is mine, now."

"Have you gone crazy?" "I swear to God!"

"I am the 10.000th!" "What?"

I am the 10.000th customer! They sent me the car as a reward!

As a reward? Do you think, I am stupid?

Well, if you don't believe me, come and have a look at it yourself! It's parked in front of our house!

Just under the dining room carpet!

"Your hat, too!" "Yes, Sir!"

"But this is just an every-day hat!" "No problems, that's what I need!"

"You wait for me here!" "Yes, Sir!"

"Hello, colleague!" "Hello, colleague!"

"Who's son are you?" "You should know better than that, colleague! My fathers'.

"I see you are really smart. Tell me now, who's car is this beauty?" "It belongs to Miss Vera Kovacs!"

"Is she at home?" "Nobody is at home! Not even me, since I am at school now!"

"But I just have to talk to someone from the family!" "You can only talk to my father, now!"

Sandor Kovacs candy store! Just behind the corner!

"Well, thank you very much, colleague!" "You are welcome! But hey, colleague!"

Don't you tell my father that you have seen me here!

"I won't tell him! Then, good bye, colleague!" "Good bye, colleague!"

"Are you a madman?" "Why?"

You want to pay for 20 dkgs of candy with 10 dkgs of cow-legs?

I would rather not eat cow-legs ever again!

"Have a good day!" "At your service! What would you like?"

"Looking for Mr. Sandor Kovacs!" "It's me. How can I help you?"

I am here because of the car.

Well, then I am leaving now!

"If you have changed your mind, just send me a message!" "In your dreams! In your dreams!"

Would you believe that? 10 dkgs of cow-legs!

Well then! It's your turn now!

I am ready for the worst!

Come on, it is not that dangerous. I only would like to offer myself as a driver for your car!

"As a driver?" "Yes."

"Then listen to me now, Sir!"

It was only a couple of minutes before that I wished that that generous gentleman who sent this car...

"... be struck by the lightening of Hell!" "But why?"

Why? Listen to me, Sir!

It was only 30 minutes before that the landlord came here, to tell me he is raising the rent.

Then came a tax official, who kindly told me not to worry, as now they will raise my taxes by ONLY 1000 pengos.

And now you, offering your services as a driver. From what? Tell me?

From what? I don't even have enough money to walk let alone drive!

Well, truth to be told, my daughter just got a job some days ago. True!

She's got a job at the central bank with 80 pengo a month!

"Where did you say, please?" "At the central bank!"

"That is a very good place!" "Damn them all!"

Good, but not for a little office-clerk girl! But for the directors! All those, who cheat and lie!

"Am I not right?" "Every bit, of course!" "Well then, I am very sorry, please!"

Listen, I have a very good idea! What if I go partners with you on the car?

"It sounds very good, but I still don't get it!" "You give the car, I do the deliveries, and then we half the money we make!"

Not bad! But who is gonna pay for the petrol?

"The garage... and my taxes?" "I will pay them all!"

I need some time to think about it!

I accept the offer!

But we still have to talk to my daughter about it!

"All right! All right! But is he gonna take away the car then?" "Of course, he will!"

We can't expect him to do the deliveries on his back!

This must be him!

"Come in! Come in!" "Thank you very much! Have a good day!"

I am Janos Toth. How do you do?

"We have already met before, right?" "Yes, yesterday afternoon!"

"Do you know Mr. Toth?" "Yes. It was Mr. Toth who showed me the car in the show room!"

How are you gonna do deliveries all day long, if you are employed at the show room as well?

You see, I have already given them my notice.

You know, as a driver of many years, I didn't feel good working at the show room.

It is so much different sitting behind the wheels!

Of course! Of course! Of course!

"Have a seat, please!" "Thank you!"

So, here is the contract!

I made it very short!

It is only 65 points.

Only about damage and legal rights.

"Well then, read it, and then sign it!" "Yes, please. I am gonna read it now!"

And tell me Mr. Toth, what do you get out of all this?

Don't worry about that, Miss! One can make very expensive deliveries with such a beautiful car!

Especially a driver like me, with all my connections.

"So, are you going to... take away the car with you already?" "Well, of course!"

But don't worry, Miss! Every morning at half past 7 I will be waiting for you at this small caf�...

... and we will do the calculations.

Company of four to the cemetery, 50 pengos?

"How could you ask for that much?" "They inherited a lot."

To a wedding, groom and bride, 30 pengos, then directly to a christening with the same people. 20 pengos.

This I made almost for nothing. I felt sorry for the groom.

A tourist from the Octogon Square till the Opera, with usual detours.

Yes, with usual detours.

"20 pengos. Altogether 120 pengos." "All right, half of that is 60. Here you are!"

60 pengo in a day, that is 1800 in a month.

Well, this won't be like this every day! These were mostly people I knew!

Wow, it is getting late, and I have to go to work in the bank, now!

"You don't like it?" "I don't really know."

Maybe up there in that nice room...

... working as a secretary in a separate room right next to the Chief Executive's office.

"But to work in the basement for 80 pengos a month..." "In the basement? You mean where the files are?"

"Do you know it?" "Yes."

You know, I had a friend once, who used to work there. He told me.

I just put stamps on papers all day long.

"Can't imagine, how much I am bored of Chief Executive Szucs already!" "But why?"

It is his name I must put the stamps under, you know!

"But I really have to go now" "If you would allow me, I would be happy to give you a ride there!"

No way! That's not good! That would cost you money!

"Come on, it doesn't really matter, Vera!" "All right, then! I would like to pay!"

"Yes, please!" "I had..." "Just leave it!"

There were 2 coffees, how many croissants did you have?

"Three." "Four croissants."

"1 pengo 40."; "Everything in it?" "Yes, Mrs!" ; "Here you are." "Thank you very much."

Thank you very much, have a nice time!

"Here we are then." "Too bad!"

The bank is on the the next street. It is better if we just stop here!

"We would probably attract some unnecessary attention, right? "You are such a good driver!"

"Wish I could go now, till the very edge of the world!" "Of course, it's my pleasure!"

But Mr. Toth! I was just joking! It is 8 o'clock! I must go to the bank now!

"God be with you!" "See you soon!"

Waiter! Waiter! I want to pay!

Good morning! Good morning!

Six letters. Starts with an S.

"Very sweet."

Szucs.

Hallo! Central Bank, Secretary! How can I help you?

Chief Executive? Yes!

From the Riviera? From Pest? Oh, only the day after tomorrow!

Nothing special, my dear Chief! We are missing you!

I am missing you. Yes?

Yes, I am writing, immediately!

200 pengo, correction, yes!

I will do it immediately! At your service, Mr. Chief Executive!

Forgive me, but I have to ask you a couple of questions!

Because as your employer, I am bound to know everything about the employees!

"Yes. Do you know your parents?" "What?"

I mean are your parents rich?

Well, you know, we hang on somehow. We have a candy store.

"Then who owns that car that you came work in this morning?" "Did you see me?"

"It is beautiful, isn't it?" "Too beautiful!"

"Who's car is it?" "It is mine."

"Yours?" "Yes."

"Then why do you work in this bank?" "I don't understand."

Forgive me for saying, but if somebody has such a car, why would she need to slave for 80 pengo a month?

"But please, I am a poor girl!" "How about the car?"

"That was a gift." "A gift?"

"From whom?" "I was the 10.000th." "The 10.000th?"

And you know this so accurately?

"Miss Anna requests to see Mr. Halmos!" "Yes, I am coming. I am coming."

"The 10.000th?"

"How do you do, Miss Anna! Somehow I just had the feeling that you are going to request me."

Tell me, Halmos! Is there a girl called Vera Kovacs working at your department?

"Vera Kovacs? Oh, yes. I employed her the day before yesterday." "Is she pretty?"

"She is not my type, but she is good enough for stamping. Why?" "Sit down! You are gonna sit down!"

What have just happened is unprecedented in the history of the bank!

Someone's wages were raised by 200 pengos, by the Chief personally!

See, Miss Anna! I always told you that my skills will be appreciated one day, too!

You have 800 pengos a month, while me 520 from now on...

"Altogether that is..." "You fool! It is not yours but Miss Vera Kovacs's wages that are being raised!"

How come the Chief knows this girl, I wonder...

Careful! Careful!

"Now I understand that car!" "What car?"

Miss Anna, be a man!

"Your Chief Executive is in love with this Kovacs!" "This's a nonsense!"

Listen! This morning, as usual, I went to the caf�...

... to have my usual two rolls with a coffee.

No, wait a moment! I think it was two croissants. Two croissants... It doesn't matter.

And when I am about to pay...

... no, wait, I don't want to lie to you, I think it wasn't coffee, but tea and two toasts.

"Stop talking about your lousy breakfast! Can't you see how nervous I am?" "Yes."

So, I am about to pay, when all of a sudden I saw a beautiful car arriving. What can I say, it was a beautiful car!

And whom do you think I saw to get out of the car?

"Whom?" "Don't ask me! Tell me!"

Miss Vera Kovacs, working for 80 pengo a month in the basement!

Unbelievable! And then?

I walked into the bank, and then I said to myself...

Because I sometimes talk to myself, so I said: "Are you not mistaken, Halmos?"

Because I am usually just on friendly terms while talking to myself.

"Or was it coffee with two rolls after all?" "I am gonna hit you, if you don't stop that!"

So I walked into the bank, called this Kovacs and asked her about the car she came with.

What do you think she answered? What do you think?

"Don't ask me! Tell me!" "She said it is her own car!"

"And you believed her?" "Not until now!"

But now, that you are telling me that the Chief had just raised her wages...

Now I understand the car, too.

Miss Anna! Watch my fingers!

"These two are like this!" "Halmos!"

"Do you really think that the car..." "Of course!"

Look, this woman even knows that she is the 10.000th!

The 10.000th! So the Chief is celebrating!

Maybe we should organize a small party for the occasion!

I am gonna organize him a party that he will never forget!

"Send that girl up to me immediately!" "Yes, of course, Miss Anna!"

Hallo! Calling center?

Connect all departments!

Amazing! Unbelievable!

No! No! I won't tell anyone! Of course not!

Micike! Come here! I have some crazy news!

Have a nice day! You requested me.

"Are you Vera Kovacs?" "Yes, I am."

"Pleased to meet you, I am Anna Kerekes, the secretary of the Chief." "Pleased to meet you."

Don't be so pleased! I requested you, because the Chief has just called...

... and asked me to raise your salary with 200 pengos a month!

But... I don't understand this!

200 pengos a month?

"But I have only been employed in the bank for 2 days!" "Unfortunately miracles still happen, Miss!

Tell me, please, do you happen to know why did I get this raise?

No. But it is not even important. What is important is that the Chief himself knows.

Good day!

Good day, Miss!

Please accept this as a token of my respect and admiration! Your Boss, Aladar Halmos.

Sari!

Come closer!

"I just got a raise of 200 pengos!" "So I heard!"

"What is wrong?" "Come closer!"

"The whole bank talks about that you and the Chief..." "What?"

That the Chief is in love with you, that's why you got the raise, and that he bought you the car, too!

Oh, my God! But it is not true! Sarika!

I don't even know how the Chief Executive looks! Sarika! You must know!

I have never even seen him in my whole life!

You look a bit tired, Vera! If you would like to go home, I can...

But I am not tired, and I don't want to go home at all! Do you understand?

Please, Miss!

SUNDAY

"Annus, Annus." "I am coming, I am coming!"

Why are you so excited?

"Well, Mr. Toth, was that enough?" "Thank you, it was."

Then I am still gonna offer you some...

"... good, fine and dry Puerto Rico cigars!" "Thank you very much, I don't want any!"

Then let us play some cards!

"Unfortunately I am not very good at playing cards!" "I am gonna teach you then!"

Listen! We always pick one colour from the first 5 cards!

There are silent and claimed ultis.

Thank you, but don't bother, Mr. Kovacs! I don't know a thing about cards at all!

But father, why are you pushing him, if he can't play?

"Wouldn't you like to have a walk instead?" "With pleasure! I am good at that!"

"Tell me! This Toth is a decent man, right?

Well, that's what I thought, too, up until now at least.

Why, what happened?

What happened? How can anyone be a decent man without knowing how to play cards?

"According to that, you must be a very decent man, then!" "What do you mean?"

Nothing, I am just saying what a wonderful man you are!

Look at that lonely little cloud up on the sky!

"It is like a child who got lost!" "Yes!"

You seem sad. What's wrong?

Come on! Be honest with me! You feel bad about something! I already noticed this yesterday!

In the bank they are saying that...

"... me and the Chief Executive..." "What?"

"That the Chief Executive is in love with me!" "Who are the ones saying this?"

I don't know! The whole bank! Everybody!

But I swear to you, Janos, I have never even seen this Chief Executive Szucs in my life!

Well! You can't just swear about this!

"But I swear!" "Come on! You can never know!"

You might have seen him once on the street! Or in a car, maybe!

And how did this stupid rumour start?

The day before yesterday I was called to see the secretary of the Chief Executive, Miss Anna!

"Yes, I know her." "You know her?"

I mean I know these kind of... women...

... who hide away in the basement for 80 pengos a month...

... but then have dinners with champagne in the Ritz on the evenings!

"Talk to me, Annuska! Talk!" "I won't! I am just suffering."

"Give me that cheese!" "I will give it to you, but then I will be suffering, too!"

Red is the colour!

Red counts double!

Now listen to me!

The silent and claimed ultimo!

Did you understand?

Well then! I claim it now, 40, 100 ultimo!

I contra the ultimo!

Re-contra!

Sub-contra!

You, little rascal!

What are you thinking about?

I was just thinking how strange is that I am telling you everything about myself...

"Oh my God, that's natural!" "But you haven't even said a word about yourself!"

"What would you like me to say? About what?" "About yourself!"

"I am still wondering, who you really are?" "Who am I? My God, well..."

"I am Janos Toth, car driver, your business partner!

Yes, at the moment. But I am certain that this is not the kind of life you expected!

You must have seen some better days!

Better than these? Never!

Look!

How nice!

How strange is the city from this far!

There are no small houses! Nor big palaces!

Everything looks wonderfully the same from this far away!

It is wonderful, when at the Blue Danube, the summer sky shines...

...million stars nicely shine on the sky. How wonderful!

The pretty Margaret-island is nice, to walk on its paths is so great!

In the old City Park all the trees are glimmering!

Be mindful and lose your mind because of me!

Do it for my sake, my heart is not alive anymore!

Since the most important of all shines through your eyes...

... called true tears of love by the books and the wise...

Be mindful and lose your mind because of me!

I am not a 100%, neither wise nor smart at all, anymore.

I have fallen in love with you, accept me into your lovely heart!

Be smart, the sky is getting prettier, now, it is getting bluer for us.

That 200 pengos pay-raise was the dumbest think I could do.

The poor girl told me that everybody in the bank thinks that her and me...

Really? For how long do you think you can keep her from the truth?

And for how long do you intend to run around in town dressed as a driver?

Until she would tell me, the driver, that she loves me!

For once I want to know whether I am still a man, and not just a Chief Executive!

"And how is it going so far?" "How is it going?"

This one is different than all the others before her.

This one is different! I heard that before!

Even the simplest woman is different than all the others, if you are in love!

Miss Vera Kovacs is here to see you, Sir.

"Vera Kovacs?" "Yes, Sir."

"Did you tell her that I am at home?" "Yes, Sir."

"Should I tell her that you are busy?" "You just shut up!"

Tell the Miss to wait outside and I will ring when she can enter!

As you wish!

My lord asks you to be patient for a short while, because...

... he is attending a very important conference...

It is already over!

This way, please!

"Good day, Mr. Chief Executive!" "Good day, Miss!"

Have a seat, please!

Have a seat, please!

"Some cognac or liqueur, maybe?" "Thank you, I don't drink!"

How can I be of service?

Please, Mr. Chief Executive, I...

... I know that it was a bold move to come here...

... but I have a very important issue that must be addressed immediately!

"Well, all right! What's wrong?" "Mr. Chief Executive!"

I am humbly begging you to be kind and reduce my salary as it was before!

Incredible! I have never heard of such a request before!

"And why? If I may know?" "It is because..."

... ever since you gave me a raise...

...everybody in the bank thinks...

... that me and the Chief Executive...

"... that me and the Chief Executive..." "That you and me?"

Come on, little girl, calm down!

Is that why you were so upset?

I was purely motivated by unselfish reasons only!

I was just terribly upset, when I heard that you were hired for 80 pengos only!

Especially, since your job is extremely important for the bank!

"You have a very important position in the bank!" "By stamping?"

"Stamping? Well, of course, You probably have no idea how important it is to make every letter..."

"...readable when stamping!"

"I wasn't aware I could cause such a big problem with the raise!" "Please!"

Some people in the bank go as far as saying that even my car was bought for me by the Chief Executive...

Do you have a car, too?

And a very pretty one!

I had just started a delivery company with it!

But everybody hates me in the bank, now!

Because they all say that I am under your special care!

Mr. Chief Executive, please, I am begging you!

Please reduce my wages!

Because I can't live with this shame! I can't!

Come on! Stop this crying now, girl!

I promise you that I am gonna make everything right in the bank!

All right? Hell right!

Well? Look at me, young lady! Look at me! Smile!

That's it!

Now I can see what a beautiful, pretty little girl you are!

"Then, please do this one thing for me!" "Of course, I will! Have no doubts!"

Only that I haven't decided it yet, whether I should disprove it, or...

... if I should start courting you now, to make at least some of this ugly rumour true!

Please, I am begging you to disprove it, if it is possible!

Why, wouldn't you like if I would start courting you?

Of course!

Like if I would invite you for a dinner, only you and me? Would you come with me?

Of course, with pleasure!

With pleasure!

"Well, good bye now, Mr. Chief Executive!" "See you soon!"

I am very happy to have met you.

Very pretty!

Janos, you may come in now!

So, you just asked her out for a dinner, right?

"No. I invited her as Szucs." "And what did she say?"

Interesting. Is that the only part you haven't heard?

"With pleasure!" She said. Do you understand? "With pleasure!"

Just skip this foolishness! What came over you?

"Very nice, very sweet, but just like all the others..." "Oh, no!"

No! I am not gonna give up that easily! I am going to put this girl to the test!

"I have..." "You have a plan, again..."

Yes, I have an excellent plan!

"Janos, wouldn't it be better if you would go on your travels, after all?" "Yes, it would be. You are right!"

We are gonna go on a vacation!

"We?" "Yes. Both you and me. Listen!"

Day after tomorrow, on Sunday!

I got an excellent delivery!

Starting on Saturday noon until Monday morning, to Lillafured, an elderly couple!

Oh, that's so bad!

Now we have to cancel our trip on Sunday!

"Business comes first, after all!" "Yes, of course!"

Although I could take Miss Vera with us, too!

"Really?" "Of course!"

We could start out tomorrow at 2, and I could drop you at work on Monday morning...

But that's impossible...

"... a young girl on her own!" "She wouldn't be on her own!"

I know the elderly couple, they would be happy to guard her!

Very good! Let that couple guard her!

And Mr. Toth will guard her, too! Am I right, Mr. Toth?

I will guard her like my own pair of eyes, Mr. Kovacs!

Oh, my dear Sari! It is still so long until 1 o'clock!

How elegant you are! Are you going somewhere?

"You bet! I am off on a weekend-trip!" "Really? And with whom? And where?"

With my business partner, to Lillafured.

"Well, send me a telegram from there, then!" "All right!"

Hey, hey! What is it? Why so fast?

Pardon me, dear Anna, for rushing in without knocking, but I have some amazing news for you!

"Really? Tell me!" "This afternoon, Vera Kovacs..."

... is going on a weekend-trip to Lillafured with the Chief Executive!

How do you know? She just said so!

Although she said that she will go with her partner, but who else could be her partner if not the Chief?

No decent girl goes on a weekend-trip without the company of a Chief Executive, right?

"Otherwise people would start talking..." "Wait!"

Wait!

I don't want to upset myself yet!

Hallo!

I want to talk to the Chief Executive!

Anna here!

Pardon me, but there are some very urgent matters, and...

... I was thinking about just dropping by at your mansion!

Nothing serious, I hope, for God's sake! Any fever?

Oh, thank God!

And are you going on your travels, then?

Nowhere?

I was thinking to drop by at your mansion!

But, Mr. Chief Executive!

You were a little bit offended by him here at the end, am I right?

A little bit.

But it doesn't matter.

He is not travelling anywhere, then.

"But with whom will she travel then?" "Little slut! Already cheating on the Chief Executive!"

"With whom?" "We must find out! Then she would be fired from the bank!"

"And then..." "I don't understand you, dear Anna! You are jealous about this one only?"

The Chief Executive has at least a hundred lovers!

A hundred doesn't matter! But this one does!

Halmos! Would you do me a big favour?

"Not just one, but a hundred!" "A hundred doesn't matter! But this one does!"

You are going to travel to Lillafured this afternoon!

My dear Halmos! Be careful! Be very careful!

"Find out everything, and then call me immediately!" "You can trust me on this one!"

"But don't you forget a thing!" "Out of question! I have a very good memory!"

If somebody tells me something, or I tell something to somebody, let's say...

Good, but put a knot on your handkerchief, to have a reminder!

I can do that, if you wish, put it is absolutely unnecessary!

All right! All right! All right!

"Is it big enough?" "Good! Good! God be with you, Aladar!

God be with you!

"Watch out for the knot!" "What knot?"

"Why did we stop?" "We need some petrol!"

And where are we going to pick up the elderly couple?

"Nowhere." "What?" "There is no elderly couple!"

"Well, then we should just..." "... turn back?"

No! Let's just go!

"Is he sick?" "Yes, it must be the carburettor!"

"Is that serious?" "Takes at least 2 hours to fix it!"

Hallo! Everything okay? Do you need some help, maybe?

Mr. Chief Executive!

Good day! My dear...

"Hmm... my dear... my dear..." "Vera Kovacs!"

Of course! What a pleasant surprise! Where are you going?

"To Lillafured, on a weekend-trip!" "Really? That's amazing! I am heading there myself, too!"

"Do you have a companion?" "My business partner! The driver!"

"Malfunction?" "Yes, and a quite serious one! The carburettor is plugged!"

"My driver would be happy to assist you!" "No, thank you! I can fix it myself!"

Only if Miss Vera will be patient enough to wait until it's done!

"In that case, I would be happy to take her with me!" "Very kind of you, but..."

... surely it would be wise, if the Miss would go ahead. This might take a long time!

Of course! You don't want to wait on the road till late, right?

Jozsi! Bring her suitcases to my car!

"Is it really gonna take that long?" "Yes, but then..."

... I will hurry, and as soon as done, will catch up with you quickly!

"Well, then, God be with you, Janos!" "Good Bye!"

But hurry up, please!

"How do you do? My humble respects!" "Do you have my room ready?"

"For what name, please?" "Janos Szucs, Chief Executive."

"Ordered on telegram." "Of course, I have found it, my lord."

Second floor, Nr. 259.

"Here you are!" "Thank you."

"Bring the Miss's luggages to that room" "Yes, Sir. Right away!"

"But won't this be a bit too expensive?" "It's 30 pengos!"

"For a day?" "Of course, not! For a week!"

"What other rooms do you have?" "Unfortunately we only have tourist rooms left on the 3rd floor."

"Thank you. Bring my luggages there, then!" "Yes, Sir!"

In a Fairy-Tale-Car driving along silver coloured forests...

... we are flying through the spring of our hearts...

Have a good day! Telegram Sign it here, please!

"Have a good day!" "Good day!"

The auto-bus is travelling on a more and more romantic countryside. STOP

Cows eating grass on the fields STOP

You are always on my mind STOP

Mr. Aladar Halmos

On the sparkling diamond-dust of the golden highway...

... we are flying in a car of fairy tales.

Up from the Heavens angels are guarding us now...

"Janos! You are already here?" "Yes! It was an easy job, I hurried to be here with you!"

"Are you mad at me, for leaving you behind?" "Of course, not! Are you mad at me?"

"For what?" "Because of the elderly couple!"

I forgot about that already.

Look, how wonderful it looks! Like a castle from a fairy-tale!

Beautiful!

It is so good to be here!

And you are the enchanted princess, in the company of your prince. Tell me...

"... how was your journey with that Chief Executive?" "He is a very nice man!"

Guess what, he even gave me his beautiful room!

"Where are you going to stay?" "At some other place with a bit more modest prices."

Somewhere at the village, maybe.

Look!

Just like little match-boxes!

Tell me!

"Did you bring any nice dresses?" "I did. Why?"

I brought along my tuxedo, too. Tonight, we will play that we are rich!

"We are going to have a dinner at the palace! We will drink champagne! Good?" "Well, we shouldn't go to palaces, maybe!"

"Are you ashamed of me, maybe?" "You silly!"

There are so many people there! And I just want to be alone with you!

"We are gonna have dinner in the village, in a small inn!" "Cheap goulash with cheap wine!"

It is so good to be with you!

Yes.

You don't mind that I am only a driver?

"Good day!" "Good day!"

"Tell me please, is it possible to send a telegram to Budapest from here?" "Of course! Go ahead, please!"

Anna Kerekes.

7 Terez Street, Budapest.

I have successfully arrived STOP

Expecting an answer: What is the knot for?

STOP

Lots of love STOP

Aladar STOP

It's done.

"Would His Lordship like a room?" "Yes."

"What type of room?"

Money is no object. As long as it's cheap.

"How about a room to the south?" "Say again?"

"A room to the south."

No. Just somewhere here in the hotel. Who wants to travel so far?"

3rd floor. Tourist room. Ten pengos.

"You don't have a room for gardeners, maybe?" "Here is the form. Fill it in, please."

"Did you give my letter to Miss Vera Kovacs?" "Yes."

"The Miss has just gone up to her room." "Thank you."

"Who is this man?" "This man?"

He is Janos Szucs, Chief Executive from Budapest.

"Who?" "This man."

"Janos Szucs, Chief Executive?" "Yes."

"Well, if this man is Janos Szucs, Chief Executive, then do you know who I am?" "No, Sir."

The Prince of Wales.

"Where is the phone-booth?" "That way, please."

We will start with some vermouth..

... then some red wine...

... champagne, but not too sweet...

... table for two...

... and flowers everywhere. Lots of flowers.

Hallo! Hallo! Budapest? Hallo!

Hallo! My dear Anna? Is that you?

At last! Aladar here!

I am saying... I am saying, Aladar!

Wait, I am gonna spell: A, as Aladar!

L, as...

L, as Ladar!

Yes, yes! Halmos!

I have sensational news!

I have just arrived!

I already have a bit of tan!

I am saying... I am saying, that I already have a bit of...

Don't talk about yourself, now, or I will explode!

What's going on with Vera Kovacs? What?

Shake it a little bit! I can't hear you!

Hallo! Can you hear me now? Well, listen to me then!

Vera Kovacs is here, with Chief Executive Szucs!

Yes, but this one is not our Szucs, but a quite another Szucs!

A little Szucs!

Why? You don't understand? I am saying that it is a little Szucs!

No, just like in the rhyme, "What are you cooking little Szucs?"

"... are you cooking salty meat... salty..."

"...meat... little Szucs?" No!

What is the Szucs cooking?

Wait, I am gonna tell it once again, clearly! wait a second!

Listen! Our Szucs is not here...

No, he isn't! This is quite another Szucs!

Yes! And he wears glasses!

Glasses! Why, can't you hear me?

Glass... Wait, I am gonna show you, Look!

He has something like this!

Glasses! Yes! Wait for a second!

Listen! What? That our Szucs also has glasses?

Well, these are very different glasses! They are very different!

And Vera Kovacs is here with this one! With this...

What? Vera Kovacs has no glasses?

Listen to me! I am gonna explain the whole thing again! Listen carefully!

Are you satisfied, my lord?

Just take away all this green stuff!

Put out roses instead! Lots of red roses!

Yes, Sir!

Does my Lordship like it, now?

Very much!

"But take away all these roses!" "As you wish!"

But try to understand!

There are two glasses!

And one of them belongs to the imposter!

And everybody thinks that he is the real Szucs, except me, because I know that he isn't!

Yes! And that's nothing! The terrible thing is...

... the terrible thing is that the poor Vera Kovacs think that her Szucs is our Szucs.

Even though I know that her Szucs is not our Szucs.

Hallo! Hallo! Hallo! Hallo! We are still talking, please!

Operator! Quit the line! Hallo!

Disconnected!

"Hello, Janos!" "Hello, my friend!"

What's the story my dear Janos? In a tuxedo?

What else should a man put on, when he is to have dinner with such a sweet young lady?

"You mean Vera Kovacs?" "With Vera Kovacs?"

"How about the test we were talking about then?" "The test? Well, the test is already done!"

You, the rich Chief Executive brought her here in your car...

... flirted with her all the way...

... even gave her your elegant room, invited her out on a dinner...

... but what's for dinner, anyway?

Well, you see, something like lobsters, some fish, one or two roasts...

... vermouth.. red wine... champagne...

... yet still she is coming with me to have dinner in a village inn, cheap goulash with cheap wine...

"Have you revealed yourself to her, then?" "No. But she revealed her feelings to me!"

She loves me! She loves ME, my friend!

This driver in the dirty and oily clothes!

Therefore my assistance is not required anymore, right?

"For once in life. I hope you don't mind?" "Of course, not!"

"And what about the dinner for two?" "I guess, you can eat it all by yourself..."

"Me? With my stomach?" "You, with your stomach!"

"Well, good by then, my dear Janos!" "Good bye."

"Sir, Budapest is on the line. Would you like the phone in the booth?" "I am coming."

Hallo! Hallo! Dear Anna! Hallo! Hallo! Dear Anna! Is that you?

Terrible news! Everything is reversed! The other Szucs is here, too!

There two Szucss here!

One of them is our Szucs, the other one is your Szucs!

I mean THEIR Szucs!

Honest to God, there were two Szucss standing here just now.

Wearing tuxedos.

Just like me.

"What are you wearing now?" "I am in the bathtub, now, but it is not important!"

What is important, is that we must inform Vera Kovacs immediately!

We must inform that poor little girl!

Hallo!

Ran away!

To Mr. Janos Szucs, Chief Executive.

My dear Vera! Thank God, I have found you!

Mr. Halmos! What are you doing here?

"Dear Vera, you always thought of me as a gentleman, right?" "Yes."

"Well, you were wrong! I came here to spy after you!"

"But Mr. Halmos!" "Don't say a word! You should be happy that I am here, now!"

Listen to me! That person you are here with is not the Szucs!

Although the Szucs is here, too, but you are not with him, now!

I don't understand anything you are saying!

Try to understand! There are two Szucss. One Szucs is the one who is not the Szucs!

It is the other Szucs, who is the real Szucs.

Oh, don't you have an aspirin?

Talk to me clearly, for God's sake! What's going on here?

The real Szucs! But why am I talking so much? Just come with me! Come!

"Look there! Do you see that man?" "Yes."

"Do you know who that is?" "Of course! He is my business partner. My driver."

"Really? Well, that driver is my Chief Executive!" "What? Janos Toth?"

Toth? Szucs! Janos Szucs Chief Executive!

"My Chief, your Chief, the whole bank's Chief!" "Don't play games on me!"

Me playing? May I not see another bookkeeping account in this life, if I am lying now!

Halmos, I am begging you! This is a very serious matter!

"But if he is Szucs, who is the other, then?" "I don't know. A fake-Szucs!

Maybe a friend of his, because I just saw them talking on friendly terms.

Come on dear Vera! It's not so bad!

This must be some joke or some wager between friends!

Of course! It must be some joke!

The Chief Executive wanted to play.

Or a friendly wager between friends.

Just like on a derby.

Thank you, Mr. Halmos!

Wow! Vera!

I just came to tell you that I won't need the car for the rest of the day. God be with you!

Hey, but Vera! What about our dinner, in the village inn?

You can't be serious! Me, with a driver?

Waiter!

"How can I help you?" "Take this away!"

"Forgive me Mr. Chief Executive, for being a little bit late!" "Just have a seat, please!"

"Wow!" "Why are you so surprised?"

Me? Not at all. Or maybe just a little bit.

"I thought you are gonna have a date with someone else tonight!" "Another date? When I can be with you?"

How beautiful is this table with all the flowers!

You are such a charming man!

Wow!

Waiter!

Yes, Sir?

"Bring us another set of plates!" "At once!"

"Do you dance? May I?" "Of course! Please!"

Please, ring! 151-24 Budapest!

"What an excellent dancer you are!" "It is you, who makes it easier!"

No, it is you!

Never in my whole life have I ever been so happy when dancing than now, with you.

I am paying!

Thank you, it's enough!

Mr. Chief Executive! Mr. Chief Executive!

Mr. Chief Executive! Mr. Chief Executive!

Are you looking for your business partner? He has already left.

I am looking for Mr. Janos Szucs, Chief Executive. Do you know him?

"But dear Vera, you must be joking with me!" "It was you two, who were joking with me!"

Without shame and mercy - as only men can do!

Would you finally care to explain, why you did this to me?

Forgive me, I had no idea that you knew everything!

I have just found out everything five minutes ago.

And I feel terribly ashamed!

You have no reason to feel bad, Vera!

And please don't blame my friend, Janos Szucs, either!

He loves you very much!

And all he wanted to find out, whether you really love him too!

Without the ranks, positions and wealth.

Well, the test have worked out only too well!

And since my beloved driver has just died...

... I have no other business here.

Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Good bye, dear... dear...

"Pardon me, I am Tamas Peterffy." "Peterffy."

Waiter!

How can I help you?

Take away this set of plates!

Waiter!

"How can I help you?" "Take away this set of plates!"

"I am your humble servant, Mr. Chief Executive!" "Halmos! What are you doing here?"

I am here at the best interest of the Chief Executive! Mr. Chief Executive, terrible things have just happened here!

"It is about Miss Vera Kovacs!" "I don't care about the Miss!"

Of course you do! If anyone knows that, I do!

Sir, when I told her that Chief Executive Szucs is not Chief Executive Szucs...

"... have you told her?" "Of course! It was honour bound to do so, was I not?"

And when I took her to the bar to show her the real Szucs, this poor little girl started to cry!

"She did?" "She did. With tears! With big tears she cried!"

"And then she tore this letter she had in her hands!" "What letter?"

Oh, look, how forgetful I am! I almost forgot that she gave me a letter... Where did I put that letter?

I had it with me for sure!

"Is this that letter?" "Yes, it is." "Well then!"

She did not accept the Chief Executive's dinner invitation!

Halmos!

You just run after the Miss, right now!

And tell her, that I want to talk to her immediately about some official businesses.

"That I want to talk to her about some very important official business!" "So, it is not a private matter, then!"

"Now, you just go! Go!" "I am on my way!"

Waiter!

Yes, Sir?

Bring another set of plates!

"Can I ask for my bill, please?" "Yes, at once!"

Miss Vera! Good that I have found you!

The Chief Executive urgently requests your presence!

"My presence?" "Yes, of course, yours. About some Important, official business!"

About important, official business?

"But we are not in the bank now!" "It doesn't matter! The Chief Executive..."

... can request his employees whenever he wishes!

Is that so? Let's go then!

"The Chief Executive wishes to see me?" "Yes, Miss!"

I need to use your secretarial skills for some very important letters.

Please forgive me for disturbing you on your vacation!

"Just let's proceed then, please!" "Take a seat, please!"

"Do you have a pen and papers?" "Yes, I do!"

Write please, Miss! It's a telegram!

To Sandor Kovacs!

5 Hadnagy Street

You got it, Miss?

"5 Hadnagy Street." "Budapest."

I am asking for your permission

between a marriage between your daughter, Vera...

... and Chief Executive Janos Szucs...

Sincerely,

Signature:

Janos Toth

Driver.

Hurrah!

Hurrah!

Thank you Mr. Halmos, and thank you for everything you have done!

Not at all, Mr. Chief Executive! Not at all!

But yes, of course, Mr. Halmos! We owe you everything!

And I would like to repay you somehow, if I can!

Just ask for anything for yourself, Mr. Halmos, and I will be happy to fulfil your wish!

My dear Chief Executive, you know, Miss Anna has a fix 800 a month...

All right! Mr. Director! You are gonna have a fix 800 a month, too!

Really?

But then I don't even have to get married!

Mr. Halmos, please! I have been looking for you all over the place. Budapest is on the line! Dringen!

Can't you see, I am busy with somebody else, now?

Pardon.

Pardon.

Pardon.

What would you like for dinner, please?

I want you to order our engagement dinner!

Everything! Everything good that you wish!

Bring us please, two little goulash...

... with some cheap wine!

Yes, of course.

THE END
