Dorothy Stone: Saleslady

Quotes 

• Mrs. Marshall : [Mary picks up an evening dress in a dress shop]  You like this one, don't you, Mary?

  Mary Marshall : It's lovely.

  Mrs. Marshall : Then you're going to have it.

  Mary Marshall : Oh, no. Uh-uh.

  Mrs. Marshall : Now, you listen to me, Mary. You can't wear the same clothes day after day, your soldier boy's going to get tired of them.

  Mary Marshall : Well, I've been fooling him well enough so far. I've been wearing one blouse after another. I don't need a dress, dear.

  Mrs. Marshall : Now, Zach's made a big thing of inviting us all to this New Year's Eve party. You can't wear a suit.

  Mary Marshall : Uh-uh. I'll manage.

  Mrs. Marshall : Henry and I have talked it over. We want you to have a dress.

  [Mary shakes her head] 

  Mrs. Marshall : Oh, Henry will be so disappointed if you don't accept it.

  Mary Marshall : Darling, I'll only be able to wear it once. It'll be out of style in three years.

  Mrs. Marshall : Then we'll burn it. Miss?

  Saleslady : Yes?

  Mrs. Marshall : My niece would like to try on this dress.

  Saleslady : Oh, it'll be fine on you.

  Mrs. Marshall : Go on, dear. Try it on.

  Mary Marshall : Well, all right. I'll try it on.

• Mary Marshall : [Trying on the dress in the dressing room]  How much is this dress?

  Saleslady : Sixty-nine dollars.

  Mary Marshall : Oh? Would you take the tag off, please?

  [Handing her some money] 

  Mary Marshall : Look, here's thirty dollars. And when my aunt asks you the price, will you tell her that it's thirty-nine instead of sixty-nine dollars?

  Saleslady : It's a bargain.

  Mary Marshall : Thank you.

  Mrs. Marshall : [Saleslady leaves the dressing room, and joins Mrs. Marshall outside]  Miss, how much was that dress?

  Saleslady : Thirty-nine dollars.

  Mrs. Marshall : Look, I'll give you twenty dollars. When I ask you again, how much it was, you tell me it's nineteen dollars.

  Mary Marshall : [coming out of the dressing room]  Do you like it?

  Mrs. Marshall : Oh, it's darling on you.

  Mary Marshall : Isn't it sweet?

  Mrs. Marshall : It was made for you. Um, Miss, how much is this dress?

  Saleslady : Nineteen dollars.

  Mrs. Marshall : Oh, that's a wonderful buy.

  [Mary realizes what happened and laughs]
