Occupation: Entrepreneurs
Olga: “People thought we were crazy when we started selling toilet paper. But I know a good business opportunity when I see one. I just told Gilbert: ‘Gil, we’re going to stop selling the panties and bras right away. Toilet paper is the new hype!’”
Gilbert: “And onions. Don’t forget the onions.”
Olga: “That was Gilbert’s idea. He thought people would like onions.”
Gilbert: “Because they last long.”
Olga: “Yes, they do. We sell them in combination with the toilet rolls.”
Gilbert: “You can make soup with them, you can fry them, you can cook them…”
Olga: “I think they get the picture, Gil.”
“You know, some people think we’re making money off a bad thing, but I disagree. I always look at the shoes. Always. If they have nice expensive shoes, I charge them a little more. If they have ugly old shoes, I give them a discount.”
Gilbert: “Pickle them. You can pickle them.”
Olga: “We’re just trying to make a living. That’s all it is…”
