The Significance of Family Names
Sam Krichinsky Who's this? Who's this Jules Kaye?
Jules Kaye That's me, Dad. I changed my name.
Izzy Kirk Me too, I changed mine to Kirk. It's easier to say that Krichinsky. Kirk, it's better.
Sam Krichinsky Who said names are supposed to be easy to say? What are you, a candy bar? You got a name! Krichinsky! It's a name! Kaye. Kirk. Two cousins, different names. How can this be? How can this be a family? When the father's called Sam Krichinsky, his son is called Jules Kaye and his first cousin is called Izzy Kirk. This is a family, God damn it! Krichinsky is the name of the family!
Perception of a World Divided by Size
Jules Kaye When I was a little younger than you, I used to think the world was made up of big people and little people. And that's the way it would always stay. And then I always wondered why sinks were too high. You had to climb up to wash your face. Cupboards, too high. The hole in the toilet was too big. Nothing. Nothing was made for us. It's just a world of big people and little people. You never got any older and nobody ever died.
The Concept of Selling Television Time
Eva Krichinsky How's the new job?
Jules Kaye It's good. I like it. It's interesting and it's challenging. I like it.
Eva Krichinsky Selling time. I never heard of such a thing.
Jules Kaye It's not just time, Ma. It's time for television commercials. Companies buy the time for television commercials, so they can sell their products.
Eva Krichinsky I hate commercials. But I like the one that the cigarette packs dance. I like that one.
